Biomass Production and Carbon Sequestration by Cultivation of Trees under Hyperarid Conditions using Desalinated Seawater (Sewage Water) [PDF]

, 2019
As growing economies – in particular in the Gulf region – use extreme and growing amounts of desalinated seawater for municipal purposes the use of produced waste waters is in the focus of science.

THE CONTESTED CITY OF VENICE: Caring for Commodified Common Infrastructures in a Touristified Environment

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this essay I reveal contested common infrastructures in the interplay between vanishing public infrastructures in Venice and lack of care by governmental actors in a city with a shrinking number of inhabitants. I examine care and commodified public infrastructures in heritage cities facing mass tourism and climate change effects by zooming ...

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Quantifying Tensions between CMB and Distance Datasets in Models with Free Curvature or Lensing Amplitude [PDF]

, 2016
Recent measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) by the Planck Collaboration have produced arguably the most powerful observational evidence in support of the standard model of cosmology, i.e. the spatially flat $\Lambda$CDM paradigm. In this

Full‐length transcriptome profiling of true bug mitochondrial genomes reveals the unique transcriptional regulation during insect evolution

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The mitogenome was transcribed into complete primary polycistrons on both strands. The heteropteran mitochondrial transcription termination factor (HmTTF) functions as a bidirectional attenuator rather than a terminator, and co‐evolution of HmTTF and the binding sites was observed.

Rapid construction of insect–plant interaction networks via multiplexed long‐fragment DNA metabarcoding and NGS

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,

Boron influence on concentration of polyols and other sugars in Eucalyptus Influência do boro na síntese de polióis e outros açúcares em Eucalyptus

Revista Árvore, 2008
Although the functions of the element Boron (B) in plants have not been sufficiently clarified, several hypotheses have been raised. Some of the functions attributed to this element are synthesis and transport of carbohydrates.

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...
