Chemical activation of ABA signaling in grapevine through the iSB09 and AMF4 ABA receptor agonists enhances water use efficiency.

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is the world's third most valuable horticultural crop, and the current environmental scenario is massively shifting the grape cultivation landscape. The increase in heatwaves and drought episodes alter fruit ripening, compromise grape yield and vine survival, intensifying the pressure on using limited water resources.

The Foundation Supporting Future Assessments of Education Program Outcomes Among Providers of Advanced Practice Respiratory Therapy.

There are physician shortages in the United States including in the cardiopulmonary specialty. Nonphysician advanced practice providers, including nurse practitioners or physician assistants, have been proposed to meet some more routine patient care needs. A supplementary provider called an advanced practice respiratory therapist (APRT) has been proposed.

Study of the Chemical Recovery and Selectivity against U in the Radiochemical Separation of Th with Tri-n-butyl Phosphate by Varying the Proportion of Xylene and HCl Concentration.

Thorium is a radionuclide used in various environmental studies such as dating, sediment movement, soil-plant transfer studies, and contamination of waste from the natural fuel cycle. The liquid-liquid extraction method using tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) allows for the separation of Th from the accompanying actinides. However, the separation of Th and U present in the same sample is not trivial.

Thermoluminescence and ATR-FTIR study of UVC-irradiated low-density polyethylene (LDPE) food packaging.

This research aims to study the effects of ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) food packaging. Main objectives include evaluating LDPE degradation and detecting UVC radiation using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) placed under LDPE samples. Results confirm accurate UVC detection after one hour of exposure, providing a useful tool for optimize food treatment procedures.

Radiological characterization of the tailings of an abandoned copper mine using a neural network and geostatistical analysis through the Co-Kriging method.

The radiological characterization of soil contaminated with natural radionuclides enables the classification of the area under investigation, the optimization of laboratory measurements, and informed decision-making on potential site remediation. Neural networks (NN) are emerging as a new candidate for performing these tasks as an alternative to conventional geostatistical tools such as Co-Kriging. This study demonstrates the implementation of a NN for estimating radiological values such as ambient dose equivalent (H*(10)), surface activity and activity concentrations of natural radionuclides present in a waste dump of a Cu mine with a high level of natural radionuclides.
