Spatially and temporally resolved metabolome of the human oral cavity.

Saliva is a complex bodily fluid composed of secretions by major and minor salivary glands. Salivary glands and their secretions are known to be unevenly distributed in the human oral cavity. Moreover, saliva flow rate and composition vary across locations and time of the day.

Effects of environmental and housing system factors on ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from cattle barns: A meta-analysis of a global data collation.

This study provides a meta-analysis on the relationships between cattle barn CH, NH and NO emission rates and their key drivers (i.e., housing type, floor type, environmental conditions).

Assessment of the biochemical methane potential of in-house and outdoor stored pig and dairy cow manure by evaluating chemical composition and storage conditions.

Biogas production is a suitable option for producing energy from dairy and pig manure types. During manure storage, organic matter degradation results in methane emissions decreasing the potential biogas yield. The present research advances the understanding of the biochemical methane potential (BMP) and the chemical characteristics of manure collected year-round from sequential stages of the liquid manure management chain of commercial dairy cow and pig farms.

Spatially resolved sampling of the human oral cavity for metabolic profiling.

Here, we present a spatially resolved sampling protocol for the oral human cavity aimed at untargeted metabolomics. We describe the spatial collection of salivary biospecimens, their preparation, and subsequent mass-spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics analysis. Our protocol avoids complex procedures generally required for gland-specific saliva collection.

Particulate matter emissions during field application of poultry manure - The influence of moisture content and treatment.

Along with industry and transportation, agriculture is one of the main sources of primary particulate matter (PM) emissions worldwide. Bioaerosol formation and PM release during livestock manure field application and the associated threats to environmental and human health are rarely investigated. In the temperate climate zone, field fertilization with manure seasonally contributes to local PM air pollution regularly twice per year (spring and autumn).
