Using a six year data set of eddy covariance flux measurements of sensible and latent heat, soil heat flux, net radiation, above-ground phytomass and meteorological driving forces energy partitioning was investigated at a temperate mountain grassland managed as a hay meadow in the Stubai Valley (Austria).The south shore axess desk main findings of
Time-Frequency Analysis Using Warped-Based High-Order Phase Modeling
The high-order ambiguity function (HAF) was introduced for the estimation of polynomial-phase signals (PPS) embedded in noise.Since the HAF is a nonlinear operator, it suffers from noise-masking effects and from the appearance of undesired cross-terms when multicomponents PPS are analyzed.In order to improve the performances of the HAF, the multi-l
Coronavirus disease 2019 and future pandemics: Impacts on livestock health and production and possible mitigation measures
The World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic on March 11, 2020.COVID-19, the current global health hot pink softball glove emergency, is wreaking havoc on human health systems and, to a lesser degree, on animals globally.The outbreak has continued since the first report of COVID-19 in China in December 2019,
Influence of host and geographic locale on the distribution of Colletotrichum cereale lineages.
Colletotrichum cereale is an ascomycete inhabitant of cool-season Pooideae grasses.The fungus has increased in frequency over the past decade as a destructive pathogen of Poa annua and Agrostis stolonifera turfgrass.Colletotrichum cereale exists as two lineages, designated clades A and B, but little is known about the distribution of these clades i
Effects of Neutralization and Crosslinking Agents on the Morphology of Chitosan Electrospun Scaffolds
Chitosan, a natural polymer derived from chitin by deacetylation process of chitin, has gained an tc electronic honey pot enormous interest in tissue engineering due to its unique features such as antibacterial activity and wound healing properties.Electrospinning of acidified chitosan solution is one of the most widely-used approaches in fabricati
