Upscaling drought resilience by coupling soil data and UAV-multispectral imageries.

Monitoring crop responses to drought is crucial for understanding the progressive impact of drought on food production and identifying management practices that can enhance agricultural resilience. This study combined drone-based multispectral data (MD) with laboratory determination over multiple pilot farms to identify the main soil physical and chemical parameters correlated with a crop health index (SVI- Standardized Vegetation Index), which compares the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) at the observed time to historical (NDVI at similar dates in previous years) values. Significant relationships were found between MD and selected soil properties for different crops.

Theater practice and interpersonal synchronization behaviors: a pilot study comparing actors and non-actors.

Recent studies in the field of theater studies no longer view theater as an object, but rather as a dynamic relationship between actors and spectators. In an embodied and situated perspective of cognition, imagination emerges as a product of this dynamic. This study aims to investigate whether acting practice enhances someone's abilities to set up an effective relationship with others and allows the individual to better manage not only the relationship itself, but also her/his own feelings and those of her/his partner.

The leachate from the Urban Solid Waste Transfer Station produces neurotoxicity in Wistar rats.

Leachate from municipal solid waste is a mixture of xenobiotics capable of contaminating bodies of water and causing damage to the health of living beings that inhabit or consume contaminated water. A previous study revealed the presence of heavy metals in Urban Solid Waste Transfer Station (USWTS) leachate above the permissible national and international limits. In the present study, we demonstrate that subchronic oral administration (5 and 25 % v/v) of leachate to male Wistar rats caused changes in the immunoreactivity of the glial markers: GFAP and Iba-1, accompanied by an increase in the expression of caspase-3, and a decrease in the expression of the NeuN protein.

Floods and rivers: a circular causality perspective.

An improved understanding of changes in flood hazard and the underlying driving mechanisms is critical for predicting future changes for better adaptation strategies. While recent increases in flooding across the world have been partly attributed to a range of atmospheric or landscape drivers, one often-forgotten driver of changes in flood properties is the variability of river conveyance capacity. This paper proposes a new framework for connecting flood changes to longitudinal variability in river conveyance, precipitation climatology, flows and sediment connectivity.
