Development of stimuli-responsive nano-based pesticides: emerging opportunities for agriculture
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-21)
Pesticides and fertilizers are widely used to enhance agriculture yields, although the fraction of the pesticides applied in the feld that reaches the targets is less than 0.1%. Such indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides ...
Automatic classification of plant electrophysiological responses to environmental stimuli using machine learning and interval arithmetic
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-02-01)
In plants, there are different types of electrical signals involving changes in membrane potentials that could encode electrical information related to physiological states when plants are stimulated by different environmental ...
Effect of Environmental Enrichment on the Body Weight in Broiler Chickens
(Facta-fundacio Arnco Ciencia Tecnologia Avicolas, 2020-01-01)
The present study had the objective of analysing the impact of the use of environmental enrichment (music and light stimuli), broiler sex, and age in broiler chickens' weight during growth. The observational study was ...
Environmental signaling and evolutionary change: Can exposure of pregnant mammals to environmental estrogens lead to epigenetically induced evolutionary changes in embryos?
(2005)
DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic and hereditary mechanisms regulating genetic expression in mammalian cells. In this review, we propose how certain natural agents, through their dietary consumption, could induce ...
Stimuli-responsive magnetic particles for biomedical applications
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles have been studied due to their potential applications as magnetic carriers in biomedical area. These materials have been increasingly exploited as efficient delivery vectors, leading ...
Using a microbial physiologic and genetic approach to investigate how bacteria sense physical stimuli
(Wiley, 2014-04)
A laboratory exercise was designed to illustrate how physical stimuli such as temperature and light are sensed and processed by bacteria to elaborate adaptive responses. In particular, we use the well-characterized Des ...
