Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Soil nitrate testing supports nitrogen management in irrigated annual crops
California Agriculture, 2016 Soil nitrate (NO3−) tests are an integral part of nutrient management in annual crops. They help growers make field-specific nitrogen (N) fertilization decisions, use N more efficiently and, if necessary, comply with California's Irrigated Lands ...

The soil quality concept as a tool for exposing values in science and promoting sustainability considerations [PDF]
, 2004 The term soil quality has mainly been used as a technical concept for grading soils. It is important that the values and goals in soil use planning and soil management are explicitly stated and related to the soil quality indicators.

Current Tracking Adaptive Control of Brushless DC Motors
International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.In this paper, the current tracking for Brushless Direct Current motors is approached considering uncertainty in the parameters of the motor's model. An adaptive control scheme to compensate electrical parameters uncertainty is proposed without requiring any knowledge of the mechanical parameters.

Los suelos, una nueva frontera para el conocimiento y las políticas ambientales
Revue d'anthropologie des connaissances, 2020 Despite its vital importance for ecosystems and societies, soil largely remains understood as an inert base, a backdrop for the biological and social life that exists at its surface. This special issue looks at the dynamics of production, circulation and
