Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Surface Micro‐Discharge Plasma for Multiple Teeth Bleaching: Efficacy, Mechanism and Safety

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the commonly‐used bleaching chemical in clinical practice, but its excessive concentrations can cause tooth damage. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is considered a promising new technique for tooth bleaching. Surface micro‐discharge (SMD) devices can generate large‐scale plasma, which holds potential for treating ...

A helium-3 refrigerator employing capillary confinement of liquid cryogen [PDF]

, 1983
A condensation refrigerator suitable for operation in a zero gravity space environment was constructed. The condensed liquid refrigerant is confined by surface tension inside a porous metal matrix. Helium-4 and helium-3 gases were condensed and held in a

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

Technologies for equine welfare and performance monitoring under field conditions – Where do we stand?

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The need for comprehensive equine welfare assessments has become particularly evident amid ongoing debates about the social licence to operate in equestrian sports. During exercise, multiple physiological systems, principally the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, thermoregulatory, endocrine, and locomotory systems, undergo complex ...

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Labour of Love: A Sequential Exploratory Mixed‐Methods Study on the Impact of Caring for a Child With Dravet Syndrome

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare genetic epilepsy syndrome, characterized by refractory seizures, delayed development, intellectual disability and behavioural difficulties. Caring for a child with DS can negatively affect parents' mental well‐being.

Exposure to Subcutaneously Administered Butorphanol in Horses Pre‐Treated With Detomidine or Detomidine‐Vatinoxan

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to determine the exposure to subcutaneously administered butorphanol in horses pre‐treated with intravenous (IV) detomidine, with or without vatinoxan, a peripherally selective alpha2‐adrenoceptor antagonist. Five healthy, adult horses received three IV treatments 7 days apart, in a randomized, cross‐over design ...
