The construction of the Alqueva reservoir in a semi-arid Mediterranean landscape brought new opportunities for irrigated farming. Land use changes and climate change may alter the risk of soil erosion that was not predicted in the initial development plans and decrease ...

Abstract The Gulf of Riga, river Daugava and several interconnected lakes around the City of Riga, Latvia, form a dynamic brackish-freshwater system favouring occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria. We examined bioaccumulation of microcystins and nodularin-R in aquatic organ...

Abstract Seaweeds are considered a viable feedstock for producing energy through the anaerobic digestion conversion process. Its exploitation and use as an alternative renewable energy source; however, remains marginal in the EU. This study aims to evaluate BMP in batch...

The effect of melt convection during the solidification of Ti45Al55 alloys was investigated in terms of microstructure evolution and the resulting mechanical properties. The samples were subjected to conventional induction melting as well as enhanced melt stirring by an...

Abstract Carbon neutrality has become a goal of European Union countries as they held agreement on the European Green Deal; the goal needs to be achieved by 2050. To achieve this goal production industry plays major role as this sector produces considerable amount of gr...

Fiche d'identification des maladies et parasites des poissons, crustacés et mollusques préparées sous les auspices du Groupe de travail CIEM sur la Patholgoie et les maladies des organismes marins.

Article describes a new type of fiber boards for the furniture production, developed in cooperation with ATB (Leibniz-Institute for Agricultural Engineering) by using a new method to prepare raw materials and specific production technologies of ATB. The main raw materia...

This paper is the outcome of a community initiative to identify major unsolved scientific problems in hydrology motivated by a need for stronger harmonisation of research efforts. The procedure involved a public consultation through online media, followed by two worksho...

Our study aims to enhance process understanding of the long-term (decadal and longer) cyclic marsh dynamics by identifying the mechanisms that translate large-scale physical forcing in the system into vegetation change, in particular (i) the initiation of lateral erosio...

International audience; Many animal species migrate over long distances, but the physiological challenges of migration are poorly understood. It has recently been suggested that increased molecular oxidative damage might be one important challenge for migratory animals....
