At which spatial scale can selection be tracked? Very high-resolution environmental and genome-wide molecular characterization in Arabis alpina shall indicate if local adaptation acts locally or globally. Though termed local in the scientific jargon, adapt ...
Examination engineering (short: "Examineering") of existing bridges comprises accurate determination of structural behavior and targeted use of advanced materials for improvement of structural behavior with the ultimate goal of limiting construction interv ...
Water temperature data are being collected at various locations in the Wigger for ecological purposes, namely to investigate health issues in sh populations. Such data need be linked to hydro-morphological and environmental features of the catchment in ord ...
Reservoir sedimentation is gaining growing attention as dams are aging, due to economic and environmental consequences. Venting of turbidity currents is one of many sediment management techniques, highly recommended when water is in shortage. The venting o ...
The increasing use of elements such as Nb and Ta in green and information technologies makes it necessary to develop appropriate analytical methods for studying their environmental and ecotoxicological behaviour. This paper describes the first time Nb has ...
In 2008, FAO and WAAP published a report on production environment descriptors for animal genetic resources. One of the main conclusions was that it was necessary to quickly systematize the recording of breeds’ geographical coordinates worldwide in order t ...
Samples of 191 animals from 18 different Brazilian locally adapted swine genetic groups were genotyped using Illumina Porcine SNP60 BeadChip in order to identify selection signatures related to the monthly variation of Brazilian environmental variables. Us ...
Space is at the core of many environmental problems. From everyday objects to large infrastructures the way we construct things has an impact on issues at global scale… ...
Most civil engineering infrastructures, especially bridges worldwide, are approaching the end of their designed lifespan. They are continuously deteriorating due largely to material aging, excessive loads and changing environments. Therefore, it is crucial ...
The close links between mineralogy and materials science are leading to major developments in how society deals more effectively with energy and environmental challenges. The fast expanding field of "environmental mineralogy" helps mitigate major environme ...
