Abstract:
... The wide geographic distribution of penguins (Order Sphenisciformes) throughout the Southern Hemisphere provided a unique opportunity to use a single taxonomic group as biomonitors of mercury among geographically distinct marine ecosystems. Mercury concentrations were compared among ten species of penguins representing 26 geographically distinct breeding populations. Mercury concentrations were re ...

Abstract:
... The construction of artificial solar fuel generating systems requires the heterogenization of large quantities of catalytically active sites on electrodes. In that sense, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been utilized to assemble unpreceded concentration of electrochemically active molecular catalysts to drive energy-conversion electrocatalytic reactions. However, despite recent advances in MO ...

Abstract:
... Grazing ability is difficult to record in animals under free-ranging conditions without sophisticated methods. Alternatively, grazing ability may be indirectly inferred from changes in BW and production characteristics during the grazing period. The present study investigated the effect of grazing on resource-limited rangelands on BW, wool characteristics, and offspring weaning weights in nine hun ...

Abstract:
... Windward ventilation increases ventilation rates in greenhouses compared to leeward ventilation. However, in areas such as the Canary Islands tomato greenhouses use to be large and, furthermore, are located in areas with hard-blowing winds which involves wind damage to crops (through side vents) and to windward roof vents. For this reason leeward ventilation is preferred to windward ventilation. N ...

Abstract:
... Pistachio represents an emerging nut crop across the Mediterranean basin. In Spain, pistachio has been traditionally cultivated in marginal‐dry areas with unfavourable climatic conditions for plant diseases. Consequently, little attention has been given to research on pistachio diseases until recently. Symptoms of branch dieback and cankers, and shoot and panicle blight have been recently observed ...

Abstract:
... Age estimation of the cephalopod Octopus vulgaris by using beaks has improved in recent years, but maximum age and longevity in the wild have not been confirmed due to the low availability of senescent wild octopuses. In this study, a beak analysis of lateral wall surfaces (LWS) from 20 spent specimens confirmed the 1-year lifecycle of the species in Central East Atlantic waters. Stress marks (che ...

Realization of photo-electrochemical water splitting to generate H₂ alternative fuel requires the facilitation of the kinetically-sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurring at the photoanode. To do so, there is a need to develop new methods to assemble suitable OER co-catalysts at the semiconductor–solution interface. Although Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are frequently used as precurso ...
