Thermoresponsive Gels Based on Cross-Linked Polymer-Grafted Cellulose Nanocrystals
Stimuli-responsive nanocomposite hydrogels have garnered significant interest as alternatives to conventional hydrogels, enabling the engineering of stimuli-responsive behavior and network connectivity through composition ...
A machine learning framework for California vineyard water status monitoring using sUAS Imagery and short-term meteorological data
Efficient irrigation management is essential for sustainable crop production under increasing temperatures and tightening water supplies. In vineyards, water status significantly influences vine growth, yield, and fruit ...
The use of Diathermic Syncope® for stunning cattle
The EFSA Panel on Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the use of Diathermic Syncope® (DTS) for stunning cattle. A dossier was provided by the applicant as the basis for an assessment ...
Soil Management Effects on Grapevine Water Uptake Depth in a Mediterranean Vineyard
In Mediterranean vineyards, soils are often managed with tillage or herbicides to limit weed growth and competition for resources. However, with rising concerns about water scarcity and climate change, cover crops are being ...
Association of Planetary Health Diet Indices with Diet Composition, Nutritional Quality and Environmental Impacts in Italian Adults
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sustainable diets are increasingly recognized as a key strategy to promote human health while reducing environmental impacts. The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) provides a global framework for sustainable ...
Development of a Protoplast-Mediated TransformationSystem for Monilinia fructicola: A Tool for FunctionalGenomics
Monilinia fructicola is a major causal agent of brown rot in stone fruit and is recognised as the most aggressive species within thegenus Monilinia. Despite its economic impact, the molecular basis of its pathogenicity ...
A review on the genus Draeculacephala with a focus on Draeculacephala robinsoni
The recent introduction in Europe of Draeculacephala robinsoni Hamilton (1967), an alien sharpshooter species vector of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) and originally native to North America, poses an additional threat to European ...
SET-M33 peptide as a selective in vitro antimicrobial agent against the porcine respiratory pathogen Glaesserella parasuis
As we face the threat from bacterial pathogens that are resistant to many conventional antibiotics, many current research efforts focus on expanding our arsenal of antimicrobial compounds. However, identifying use cases ...
Innovative plant-based drinks produced by pulse spray drying: An approach on physicochemical properties and microbial assessment
The growing demand for sustainable and nutritious dairy alternatives has driven interest in plant-based beverages, particularly in powdered formats that enhance shelf life and transportability. This study investigated the ...
High Hydrostatic Pressure-Assisted Extraction Enhances Protein Recovery and Techno-Functional Properties of Brewer’s Spent Grain Protein Isolate
Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) is a major by-product of brewing industries and a potential protein source for valorisation. Conventional protein extraction methods often yield low protein recovery and poor techno-functional ...
Macrolide resistance determinants and their associations in streptococci from selected livestock and wildlife species from Catalonia, Northeast Spain
The increasing macrolide resistance in Streptococcus spp. causing human and animal infections in the last decades is a concern for global health. The objectives of this study were to analyze the macrolide resistance rates ...
Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem
The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and ...
Wild birds drive the introduction, maintenance, and spread of H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses in Spain, 2021–2022
The 2021–2022 high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) epizootic was the worst ever recorded in Europe in general and in Spain in particular. Between December 2021 and November 2022, H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b HPAI viruses caused ...
Immunomodulatory activities of bovine host defense peptides (HDPs): context-dependent roles in inflammation and immune priming
Background Maintaining immune homeostasis is essential for livestock health and productivity, particularly in the face of infection or stress. Host defense peptides (HDPs), including β-defensins and cathelicidins, are key ...
Characterization of a Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae aerosol infection model in pigs
The purpose of the present study was to develop and characterize an experimental aerosol model for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) infection and respiratory disease in pigs. The experiment was carried out to ...
