Reducing the Operating Energy of Buildings in Arid Climates through an Adaptive Approach
(MDPI, 2022-10)Due to its excessive energy consumption, the building sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The type of thermal comfort models used to maintain the comfort of occupants has a direct influence ... -
Use of tissue chromogranin A as chronic and acute stress marker in fish
(Elsevier, 2023)Chromogranin A (CgA) has recently reported as stress marker in superior vertebrates. It is stored in granules of the chromaffin tissue and released to the bloodstream from the adrenal medulla and pituitary after stress ... -
First releases of hatchery‑produced Senegal sole (Solea senegalensis), brill (Scophthalmus rhombus), and wedge sole (Dicologoglossa cuneata) juveniles in the South‑western Spanish coast
(Springer, 2022)The regression of fisheries in the Gulf of Cadiz is evident since current fish catches are 33% of that 30 years before. Consequently, some initiatives for the replenishment of exhausted wild stocks are welcome. The objective ... -
Cold alkaline extraction of Elephant grass for optimal subsequent extraction of hemicelluloses and energy production
(Springer, 2022-07-27)There is growing scientific and industrial interest in obtaining useful substances by fractionating lignocellulosic biomass from non-food plant crops for use by the bioenergy industry. The primary goals are to ensure ... -
En los cabritos machos de regiones subtropicales, la exposición a días largos artificiales estimula una mayor tasa crecimiento, un mejor desarrollo e incrementa la glucemia
(Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, 2022)Antecedentes. Los pequeños rumiantes de regiones subtropicales son sensibles y responden fisiológicamente a los cambios en el fotoperiodo. En algunos sistemas de producción caprina del subtrópico, como los que existen en ... -
Jet stream position explains regional anomalies in European beech forest productivity and tree growth
(Nature Research, 2022)The mechanistic pathways connecting ocean-atmosphere variability and terrestrial productivity are well-established theoretically, but remain challenging to quantify empirically. Such quantification will greatly improve the ... -
Is the vessel fishing? Discrimination of fishing activity with low-cost intelligent mobile devices through traditional and heuristic approaches
(Elsevier, 2022)Knowing the activity of fishing vessels accurately and in real time means a leap in quality in the management of fishing activity. This paper presents the development of a new fishing activity monitoring integral system ... -
Using air thermal time to predict the time course of seedling emergence of Avena sterilis subsp. sterilis (sterile oat) under Mediterranean climate
(AIMS Press, 2022)Avena sterilis subsp. sterilis (sterile oat) is a troublesome grass weed of winter cereals both in its native range encompassing the Mediterranean up to South Asia, and in regions of America, Northern Europe and Australia ... -
Fish abundance estimation with imaging sonar in semi-intensive aquaculture ponds
(Elsevier, 2022-01-29)To know the abundance of fishes and their size distribution in the semi-intensive rearing systems in traditional ponds is an aspect key to plan and manage efficiently the sales lots. Usually this information is obtained ... -
Composted sewage sludge as an alternative substrate for forest seedlings production
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2021)The production of forest seedlings with adequate morphological and physiological characteristics is essential for the success of plantations. Substrates and irrigation are the major factors determining seedlings’ growth. ... -
Estimating textural fractions of the USDA using those of the International System: A quantile approach
(Elsevier, 2022-06-15)In soil science, the two most frequently used classification systems for the soil particle size distribution are the schemes by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the so-called International System (IS), ... -
Identification of Old-Growth Mediterranean Forests Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Geostatistical Analysis
(MDPI, 2022-08)The protection and conservation of old-growth forests (OGFs) are becoming a global concern due to their irreplaceability and high biodiversity. Nonetheless, there has been little research into the identification and ... -
Seed Dormancy and Seedling Ecophysiology Reveal the Ecological Amplitude of the Threatened Endemism Picris willkommii (Schultz Bip.) Nyman (Asteraceae)
(MDPI, 2022-07)Plant communities can undergo drastic changes in their composition if the ecosystem is severely altered by human actions or climate change. These changes endanger any vulnerable species, mainly if it lives in a small area, ... -
Deciphering Main Climate and Edaphic Components Driving Oat Adaptation to Mediterranean Environments
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11)Oat, Avena sativa, is an important crop traditionally grown in cool-temperate regions. However, its cultivated area in the Mediterranean rim steadily increased during the last 20 years due to its good adaptation to a ... -
