Vertically Averaged and Moment Equations for Dam- Break Wave Modeling: Shallow Water Hypotheses
(MDPI, 2020)
The dam-break wave modeling technology relies upon the so-called shallow water equations (SWE), i.e., mass and momentum vertically averaged equations by implementing the shallow water hypotheses, namely (i) horizontal ...
Early Detection and Quantification of Almond Red Leaf Blotch Using High-Resolution Hyperspectral and Thermal Imagery
(MDPI, 2016)
Red leaf blotch is one of the major fungal foliar diseases affecting almond orchards.
High-resolution thermal and hyperspectral airborne imagery was acquired from two flights and
compared with concurrent field visual ...
Climate and Land Use Change Effects on Sediment Production in a Dry Tropical Forest Catchment
(MDPI, 2021)
Understanding the natural and anthropogenic drivers that influence erosion and sediment transport is a key prerequisite for adequate management of river basins, where, especially in tropical catchments, there are few direct ...
Influence of Cultivar and Biocontrol Treatments on the Effect of Olive Stem Extracts on the Viability of Verticillium dahliae Conidia
(MDPI, 2022)
The effect of olive (Olea europaea) stem extract (OSE) on the viability of conidia of Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO), is not yet well understood. Thus, the aim of this study was ...
Assessment of Maternal Effects and Genetic Variability in Resistance to Verticillium dahliae in Olive Progenies
(MDPI, 2021)
The use of genetic resistance is likely the most efficient, economically convenient and environmentally friendly control method for plant diseases, as well as a fundamental piece in an integrated management strategy. This ...
Evaluation of Drought Stress in Cereal through Probabilistic Modelling of Soil Moisture Dynamics
(MDPI, 2020)
The early and accurate detection of drought episodes is crucial for managing agricultural yield losses and planning adequate policy responses. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of two novel indices, static and ...
Delving into the Causes and Effects of Entomopathogenic Endophytic Metarhizium brunneum Foliar Application-Related Mortality in Spodoptera littoralis Larvae
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of the current study was to delve into the causes of mortality of Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Metarhizium-colonized plants in the absence of fungal outgrowth on the cadavers as previous studies reported ...
Distribution Uniformity in Intensive Horticultural Systems of Almería and Influence of the Production System and Water Quality
(MDPI, 2021)
The high productivity and efficiency of the use of irrigation water that characterizes greenhouse horticultural crops can be affected by poor irrigation distribution uniformity. The objective of this work was to estimate ...
Effects of Biological Therapies on Molecular Features of Rheumatoid Arthritis
(MDPI, 2020)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the joints, and closely related to specific autoantibodies that mostly target modified self-epitopes. Relevant findings in the ...
Potential Role of Insulin Growth-Factor-Binding Protein 2 as Therapeutic Target for Obesity-Related Insulin Resistance
(MDPI, 2021)
Evidence from observational and in vitro studies suggests that insulin growth-factor-binding protein type 2 (IGFBP2) is a promising protein in non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic ...
