The unicellular alga Dunaliella salina is a good source of β-carotene whereas the macroalga Porphyra sp . is rich in flavor-enhancing amino-acids such as glycine. Therefore, this study focused on the development of new dietary formulations for Paracentrotus lividus, including D. salina, Porphyra or glycine, aimed at improving roe color and flavour. Five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were produced by cold extrusion and...
Early warning system for floods at estuarine areas: combining artificial intelligence with process-based modelsNARA Subscribed
Floods are among the most common natural disasters, causing countless losses every year worldwide and demanding urgent measures to mitigate their impacts. This study proposes a novel combination of artificial intelligence and process-based models to construct a flood early warning system (FEWS) for estuarine regions. Using streamflow and rainfall data, a deep learning model with long short-term memory layers was used to foreca...
Environmental assessment of an innovative adhesive for the footwear industry: road map for product developmentNARA Subscribed
Purpose This work presents an environmental assessment of two adhesives to evaluate the replacement of the traditional adhesive (PU) used in the footwear industry by a novel adhesive based on a microencapsulation approach (PUMC) which is more favorable from the safety and technical perspectives. The PU adhesive is polyurethane-based, while the PUMC adhesive is polyurethane-based but with its isocyanate compounds microencapsula...
Camera trap surveys of A tlantic F orest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004–2020)NARA Subscribed
Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land‐cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity...
Numerical models are essential tools for the study and analysis of the hydrodynamics of estuarine systems. However, the model results contain uncertainties, which need to be minimized to increase the accuracy of predictions. In this work, the ensemble technique is proposed as a solution to improve hydrodynamic forecasts for estuarine regions. Two numerical models, openTELEMAC-MASCARET and Delft3D, were considered for the appli...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
The understanding and anticipating of climate change impacts is one of the greatest challenges for humanity. It is already known that, until the end of the 21st century, the mean sea level (MSL) will rise at a global scale, but its effects at the local scale need to be further analyzed. In this context, a numerical modelling tool and a methodological approach for the river Minho estuary (NW of the Iberian Peninsula) are presen...
