Assessing Viral Pollution in Seawater, Using Passive Samplers, Quantitative PCR and Target Enrichment Sequencing
Detecting pathogenic viruses in seawater presents significant challenges due to their typically low concentrations and the transient nature of contamination events. To address these challenges, this study evaluates passive ...
Exploring waterborne viruses in groundwater: Quantification and Virome characterization via passive sampling and targeted enrichment sequencing
Aquifers, which provide drinking water for nearly half the world's population, face significant challenges from microbial contamination, particularly from waterborne viruses such as human adenovirus (HAdV), norovirus (NoV) ...
VII Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
L'aigua, element fonamental de la vida, esdevé la protagonista de la recerca científica multidisciplinària. En un món on la crisi hídrica amenaça amb desafiar la sostenibilitat de la societat i el benestar humà, l'exploració ...
Reply to the Comment by David W. Morrow on 'Self-accelerating dolomite-for-calcite replacement: Self-organized dynamics of burial dolomitization and associated mineralization'
We welcome David W. Morrow's Comment to our article Merino and Canals (2011) (MC-2011 hereafter), in which we presented a new model of burial dolomitization. Morrow raises several questions and sees conflicts of some of ...

I Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l'IdRA
La I Jornada de Joves investigadors és una primera iniciativa per fer aflorar i donar visibilitat a la recerca dels més joves, planter de les futures generacions de l'IdRA. La pròpia tasca organitzativa i científica de na ...
Nitrate removal by combining chemical and biostimulation approaches using micro-zero valent iron and lactic acid
The occurrence of nitrate is the most significant type of pollution affecting groundwater globally, being a major contributor to the poor condition of water bodies. This pollution is related to livestock-agricultural and ...
Geology, geochemistry and mineralogy of the Loma de Hierro Ni-laterite deposit, Venezuela
Ni-laterite deposits host over 60% of the word land-based Ni resources (McRae, 2018). They formed from the weathering of Mg-rich ultramafic rocks exposed to the surface under favorable topography and climatic conditions. ...
VIII Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
L’aigua ens connecta a tots amb tot. És present en cada racó de la nostra vida i alhora és un dels recursos més fràgils que tenim. Aquest any, més que mai, hem sentit la seva absència i la seva força: la sequera persistent ...
Moradebrichthys vilasecae gen. et sp. nov., a new perleidid (Actinopterygii: Osteichthyes) from the Middle Triassic of Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula)
A new actinopterygian, Moradebrichthys vilasecae gen. et sp. nov., from the Middle Triassic (Late Ladinian) of Móra d'Ebre-Camposines (Catalonia, NE Iberian Peninsula) is erected on the basis of several, almost complete, ...
IV Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
La IV Jornada de Joves Investigadors suposa la consolidació de la iniciativa duta a terme entre 2016 i 2018 amb les tres primeres jornades. Com aleshores, es tracta de fer aflorar i donar visibilitat a la recerca dels més ...
V Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
La situació de pandèmia global des de principis de l’any 2020 ha afectat les nostres vides i, també, el desenvolupament de les Jornades de Joves Investigadors de l’Institut de Recerca de l’Aigua (IdRA). Aquest acte, que ...
VI Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
La VI Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l'Institut de Recerca de l'Aigua (IdRA) es planteja, un cop més, com una oportunitat científica per a les noves veus expertes en estudis de l'aigua que formen part de la Universitat ...
Interactive effects of CO2 concentration and water regime on stable isotope signatures, nitrogen assimilation and growth in sweet Pepper.
Sweet pepper is among the most widely cultivated horticultural crops in the Mediterranean basin, being frequently grown hydroponically under cover in combination with CO2 fertilization and water conditions ranging from ...
Chlorination Cessation Alters Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in Artificial Urban Ponds
Cities are facing an ecological challenge, and international policies are increasingly focused on implementing nature-based solutions to support this transition. In this context, the naturalization of artificial urban ponds ...
Morpho-physiological responses of alamo switchgrass during germination and early seedling stage under salinity or water stress conditions
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm perennial grass with valuable characteristics as a biofuel crop. To avoid competition with food crops, biofuel crops will be likely relegated to less productive soils such as ...
Determination of HPLC-UV fingerprints of Spanish paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) for its classification by linear discriminant analysis
The development of a simple HPLC-UV method towards the evaluation of Spanish paprika' phenolic profile and their discrimination based on the former is reported herein. The approach is based on C18 reversed-phase chromatography ...
Deriving parametric and probabilistic Kd values for fluoroquinolones in soils
The evaluation of the sorption affinity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) in soils, by means of the derivation of solid-liquid distribution coefficients (Kd), is a valuable information for assessing their environmental ...
