Use of willow (Salix sp) biomass as tree fodder: nutritional value and conservation methodsNARA Subscribed
This study evaluated the nutritional value and different methods of conservation of two willow materials—the hybrid clone Terra Nova (HTN) from a short‑rotation coppice (SRC) system and the native Salix atrocinerea (SAT) from riparian stand—representing contrasting willow resources available in the study region. The leaf fraction (LE)—although representing 5.0 in untreated silages). Willow leaf silages achieved CP levels of 18...
Advances in neonatology have significantly reduced mortality rates due to prematurity. However, complications of prematurity have barely changed in recent decades. Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) is one of the most severe complications of prematurity, and these children are prone to suffer short- and long-term sequelae, including cerebral palsy, cognitive and motor impairments, or neuropsychiatric disorder...
Self- and individual discrimination are needed to maintain social relationships. However the extent of precision of these abilities may depend on the social strategy of each individual, which may vary with ontogeny. Many animals use chemical cues to discriminate conspecifics. For example, many lizards use femoral gland secretions, which are composed of lipids and proteins, but it is not well known the role of each of these che...
Changes in human skin composition due to intrinsic aging: a histologic and morphometric studyNARA Subscribed
Skin represents the main barrier against the external environment, but also plays a role in human relations, as one of the prime determinants of beauty, resulting in a high consumer demand for skincare-related pharmaceutical products. Given the importance of skin aging in both medical and social spheres, the present research aims to characterize microscopic changes in human skin composition due to intrinsic aging (as opposed t...
Sampling completeness changes perceptions of continental scale climate–species richness relationships in odonatesNARA Subscribed
Aim Insects are one of the least studied taxa, with most species lacking basic ecological and biogeographical information. This problem is particularly acute in the tropics, where low sampling effort hampers accurate estimates of species richness at scale and potentially confounds efforts to identify the drivers of biogeographical gradients. Here, we evaluate the quality of the data on the distribution and diversity of odonate...
Measurement of volatile organic compounds using tethered balloons in a polluted industrial site in Catalonia (Spain)NARA Subscribed
Understanding the chemical composition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) near emission sources and in the background atmosphere above the mixing layer height (MLH) provides insight into the fate of VOCs and is essential for developing effective air pollution control strategies. Unfortunately, knowledge of the qualitative and quantitative changes of VOCs and their vertical transport in the atmosphere is limited due to challe...
