Water is an essential resource for all living organisms. The continuous and increasing use of pesticides in agricultural and urban activities results in the pollution of water resources and represents an environmental risk. To control and…
The occurrence of polar pesticides in sediments has not been extensively investigated because of their relatively poor hydrophobicity and apparently less persistence in the environment. However, their continuous release into the aquatic…
Understanding the cross-species behavior of cancer is important for uncovering fundamental mechanisms of carcinogenesis, and for translating results of model systems between species. One of the most famous interspecific considerations of…
The performance of a confocal imaging system may be no better than a general-purpose widefield system if it is not properly maintained or quality controlled. The publication of ISO 21073, 'Confocal microscopes- Optical data of fluorescence…
Many studies have shown that the geographic origin is one of the most influencing factors in the choice of olive oil. To avoid misleading, European regulation has established specific rules to report the geographical origin of extra virgin…
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread rapidly across the world, leading to enormous amounts of human death and economic loss. Until definitive preventive or curative measures are developed, policies regarding testing,…
The ability to cultivate the cyanobacterium Arhtrospira platensis in artificially lightened photobioreactors using high energetic efficiency (quasi-monochromatic) red LED was investigated. In order to reach the same maximal productivities…
This paper establishes and discusses the consistency and the range of applicability of a simple, but general and predictive analytical formula, enabling to easily assess the maximum volumetric biomass growth rates (the productivities) in…
Pre-season prediction of crop production outcomes such as grain yields and N losses can provide insights to stakeholders when making decisions. Simulation models can assist in scenario planning, but their use is limited because of data…
Remote sensing techniques have been used effectively for measuring the overall loss of terrestrial ecosystem production and biodiversity due to the forest fire. The current research focuses on assessing the impact of forest fire severity on…
Signal-based early detection of illnesses has been a key topic in research and hospital settings; it reduces technological costs and paves the way for quick and effective patient-care operations. Elementary machine learning and signal…
Cytoskeletons are self-organized networks based on polymerized proteins: actin, tubulin, and driven by motor proteins, such as myosin, kinesin and dynein. Their positive Darwinian evolution enables them to approach optimized functionality…
The classification of DNA sequences is a key research area in bioinformatics as it enables researchers to conduct genomic analysis and detect possible diseases. In this paper, three state-of-the-art algorithms, namely Convolutional Neural…
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by viral infections each year, and yet, several of them neither have vaccines nor effective treatment during and post-infection. This challenge has been highlighted by the COVID-19…
The Human Cell Atlas has been undergoing a massive effort to support global scientific equity. The co-leaders of its Equity Working Group share some lessons learned in the process.
The influence of random fluctuations on the recruitment of effector cells towards a tumor is studied by means of a stochastic mathematical model. Aggressively growing tumors are confronted against varying intensities of the cell-mediated…
The pandemic threat of COVID-19 with more than 37 million cases in which about 5 percent entering critical stage characterized by cytokine storm and hyperinflammatory condition, the state more often leads to admission to intensive care unit…
Biological and biomedical imaging datasets record the constitution, architecture and dynamics of living organisms across several orders of magnitude of space and time. Imaging technologies are now used throughout the life and biomedical…
Mutations are typically classified by their effects on the nucleotide sequence and by their size. Here, we argue that if our main aim is to understand the effect of mutations on evolutionary outcomes (such as adaptation or speciation), we…
Current CoVID-19 pandemic is spreading rapidly worldwide, and it may become one of the largest pandemic events in modern history if out of control. It appears most of the SARS-CoV2 virus infection resulted deaths are mainly due to…
