Impacts of Shade Trees on the Adjacent Cacao Rhizosphere in a Young Diversified Agroforestry System

Agronomy, 2022
Cacao agroforestry systems offer the potential to diversify farmer income sources, enhance biodiversity, sequester carbon, and deliver other important ecosystem services. To date, however, studies have emphasized field- and system-scale outcomes of shade

Evaluation of multiplex nanopore sequencing for Salmonella serotype prediction and antimicrobial resistance gene and virulence gene detection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
In a previous study, Multiplex-nanopore-sequencing based whole genome sequencing (WGS) allowed for accurate in silico serotype prediction of Salmonella within one day for five multiplexed isolates, using both SISTR and SeqSero2.

Development and validation of HPLC-MS2 methodology for the accurate determination of C4–C8 B-type flavanols and procyanidins

Scientific Reports, 2021
Cocoa flavanols and procyanidins (CFs), natural dietary bioactives, have been studied extensively over the past two decades for their potential health benefits. Research on their safety and efficacy is critically dependent upon on the ability to reliably

Responses in randomised groups of healthy, adult Labrador retrievers fed grain-free diets with high legume inclusion for 30 days display commonalities with dogs with suspected dilated cardiomyopathy

BMC Veterinary Research, 2022
Early responses in healthy adult dogs fed grain-free diets with high inclusion of split peas (20%) and lentils (40%) that may lead to canine diet-induced dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) were investigated.

Long-term drying of Mars by sequestration of ocean-scale volumes of water in the crust

Science, 2021
Burying Mars' ancient water in the crust Mars once had oceans of liquid water on its surface but little of that water remains today in the planet's ice caps and atmosphere.

Radar evidence of subglacial liquid water on Mars [PDF]

Science, 2018
Liquid water under Mars' southern ice cap Mars is known to host large quantities of water in solid or gaseous form, and surface rocks show clear evidence that there was liquid water on the planet in the distant past.
