Key message A new, comprehensive computational cycle that integrates LiDAR scanning, Finite Element Modeling (FEM), and Topology Optimization (TO) can help guide pruning decisions. This process aims to restore or improve a tree’s structural stability, lowering the risk of failure from wind and boosting long-term urban tree resilience. Abstract Frequent incidents of trees falling in São Paulo highlight the need for innovative m...

Oysters have the potential to be a part of more sustainable farming systems, such as multitrophic systems integrated into biofloc systems, due to their filtration activity, which enables them to act as organic consumers. However, the stress experienced by animals in a system with a high organic load can compromise their productive performance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biological responses of Crassostrea...

The growth of aquaculture depends on protein sources that can reduce the pressure on fishmeal ( FM ), and Spirulina feed could be an option due to its high nutritional value. Studies on Spirulina as a food in diets of aquatic organisms have increased substantially in the past decade, but the fact that its use in commercial rations does not occur today indicates that there are still challenges that need to be overcome. This rev...
