Invasive plants are non-native species that can spread rapidly, leading to detrimental economic, ecological, or environmental impact.In aquatic systems such as the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in California, USA, management agencies use manned aerial vehicles (MAV) imaging spectroscopy missions to map and track annual changes in invasive aqua
Abstract Background Hibernation is a physiological state exploited by many animals exposed to prolonged adverse environmental conditions associated with winter.Large changes in metabolism and cellular function occur, with many stress response pathways modulated to tolerate physiological challenges that might otherwise be lethal.Many studies have so
A model predictive control (MPC) scheme for a Schunk PowerCube robot is derived in a structured step-by-step procedure.Neweul-M2 provides the necessary nonlinear model in symbolical and numerical form.To handle the heavy online computational burden concerning the derived nonlinear model, a linear time-varying MPC scheme is developed based bauhaus s
ABSTRACT The selection of an appropriate production system plays a crucial role in ensuring the health, welfare, and productivity of American Pekin ducks.The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of various rearing production systems on the performance of American Pekin Ducks.A total of 180 straight run ducklings (10 days old) were ran
Phosphate is an anion of both environmental and medical significance.The increase in phosphate levels in surface waters due primarily to run-offs from fertilized agricultural fields causes widespread eutrophication and increasingly large dead-zones.Hyperphosphatemia, a condition in which blood phosphate levels are elevated, is a primary cause of in
