Sustainable treatment of banana leaves for phytosanitary applications: impact, spreading, and impregnation of mineral oil

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Mineral oil droplets spread anisotropically, penetrate banana leaf tissues, and diffuse into the palisade parenchyma, revealing a delayed, Fickian mechanism that supports improved phytosanitary spray strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Efficient application of phytosanitary sprays is essential for sustainable control of foliar fungal diseases such as Black

Feasible Application of PCLake Model to Predict Water Quality in Tropical Reservoirs

Environment and Natural Resources Journal
The PCLake model has not previously been used for tropical reservoirs. This study attempted to apply the PCLake model to predict the chlorophyll a concentrations (Chl-a) in a tropical reservoir in Thailand.

Assessing the impact of model biases on subseasonal forecast skill

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Relaxation experiments where the nudging was performed towards bias‐corrected integrations of the same model display significantly improved skill at weeks 3 and 4, particularly in the northern extratropics. This indicates that there is a large potential for improving dynamical subseasonal forecasting skill by improved treatment of model biases.

Spatial variations in the zooplankton community from the Corumbá Reservoir, Goiás State, in distinct hydrological periods = Variações espaciais da comunidade zooplanctônica no reservatório de Corumbá (Estado de Goiás), em distintos períodos hidrológicos

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2009
This study evaluated the spatial variations in species richness and abundance of zooplankton over a hydrological cycle, and also verified the influence of physical and chemical water variables and chlorophyll-a concentrations on the abundance of these ...

Robust Bioconjugated Antigens Induce Immune Responses Preventing Malaria Infection and its Transmission

Small, EarlyView.
Engineered malaria antigens enable in vivo bioconjugation to submicron biopolymer particles in E. coli. Two antigens are co‐tethered at high density and defined stoichiometry. The resulting thermostable particles elicit strong, durable antibody and T‐cell responses, conferring robust protection and blocking mosquito transmission.

Variaciones de abundancia y biomasa del zooplancton en un embalse tropical oligo-mesotrófico del norte de Venezuela

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
La abundancia del zooplancton en los embalses está determinada principalmente por la velocidad y el contenido del agua, pero se sabe relativamente poco sobre los embalses tropicales.

Assessment of Oxidative Stress, Vitellogenin, and Human Health Risks Derived From Nile Tilapia Exposed to Metals and Metalloids in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...
