Compatibilization of Thermoplastic Starch and Poly (Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) Blends Using a Dual‐Coupling Strategy

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Development of TPSA‐PBSA bio‐based polymer blends using a dual‐coupling strategy based on tartaric acid (TA) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP), followed by structural, thermal, rheological, and mechanical characterization toward sustainable flexible packaging applications. ABSTRACT This study analyzed the effect of employing coupling agents in the development

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Plants, people and their shared heritage: A comparative medicinal and wild food ethnobotany of Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians living in the Gjirokaster area, southern Albania

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional knowledge about wild plants connects people to nature and sustains both cultural identity and biodiversity. This study explores how cultural exchange among Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians in southern Albania shapes the use and naming of medicinal and food plants.

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...

Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Using microwave imager observations to improve the ocean temperature in a coupled NWP system

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A recent upgrade to the ECMWF IFS has implemented outer‐loop coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. This work uses this method to pass ocean skin temperature estimates derived from satellite‐borne microwave imagers to the ocean data assimilation system; the updated ocean state is then passed back to the atmospheric system.

Evaluación de polimorfismos en enzimas metabólicas: cyp17, srd5a2 y gsts en un grupo de casos y controles en una muestra de la población colombiana asociada con susceptibilidad y riesgo a desarrollar cáncer de la próstata.

open access: yesIatreia, 2010
El cáncer de la próstata (CaP) es la neoplasia maligna más comúnmente diagnosticada a nivel mundial y la primera causa de muerte por cáncer en los hombres en Colombia, convirtiéndose hoy en día en un problema de salud pública. En Colombia el CaP ocupa el

Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...
