FATIGUE EXAMINATION OF REINFORCED-CONCRETE BRIDGE SLABS USING ACOUSTIC EMISSION AND STRAIN MONITORING DATA

Imane Bayane

The examination of bridges under service loading is key for understanding their condition and thus for their sustainable and efficient use. The need to extend the service duration of existing bridges is increasing, and therefore, efficient tools for examin ...

Heat stress reduces the contribution of diazotrophs to coral holobiont nitrogen cycling

Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz, Gabriela Hannah Holligan Perna

Efficient nutrient cycling in the coral-algal symbiosis requires constant but limited nitrogen availability. Coral-associated diazotrophs, i.e., prokaryotes capable of fixing dinitrogen, may thus support productivity in a stable coral-algal symbiosis but c ...

Mechanisms of Plasma-Seed Treatments as a Potential Seed Processing Technology

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow

Plasma treatments are currently being assessed as a seed processing technology for agricultural purposes where seeds are typically subjected to pre-sowing treatments to improve the likelihood of timely and uniform germination. The aim of this review is to ...

Species conservation in the face of global environmental changes: surface-based modelling of geo-environmental data to identify vulnerable populations

Estelle Rochat

Human activities are resulting in many land-use changes, particularly due to urbanisation and intensification of agricultural practices. Because of these changes, in addition to climate change, many species are facing habitat degradation. In order to avoid ...

Big dairy data to unravel effects of environmental, physiological and morphological factors on milk production of mountain-pastured Braunvieh cows

Stéphane Joost, Elia Vajana

The transhumance system, which consists in moving animals to high mountain pastures during summer, plays a considerable role in preserving both local biodiversity and traditions, as well as protecting against natural hazard. In cows, particularly, milk pro ...

Biogeoinformatics for the management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR)

Solange Catherine Gaillard

In the context of both severe selection in farm animals and potential effects of climate change, it is crucial to implement a sustainable management of the breeding practice, supported by a judicious use of geographic information technologies. Based on thi ...

A Performative Threshold Between Teaching Research and Practice. Atlas Poliphilo as Scaffold

Dieter Dietz, Julien Lafontaine Carboni, Aurélie Dupuis, Darío Negueruela Del Castillo

Hunches allow us to navigate in a trans-scalar world. Without them, teachers, researchers and practitioners would be left aimless. Hunches relate to the embodied and synthetic nature of the knowledge we produce, but also to its unfolding. Instead of denyin ...

Conversion of vine shoots into bioethanol and chemicals: Prospective LCA of biorefinery concept

Edgard Gnansounou, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon, Prasad Vithalrao Mandade

Vine shoots are the viticulture residues generated in high quantities after the grapevine pruning. They are lignocellulosic material poorly exploited as feedstock. These wastes are often dumped in the agriculture fields or burnt. Due to their availability ...

Interbacterial competition and anti‐predatory behavior of environmental Vibrio cholerae strains

Melanie Blokesch, Natalia Carolina Drebes Dorr

Vibrio cholerae isolates responsible for cholera pandemics represent only a small portion of the diverse strains belonging to this species. Indeed, most V. cholerae are encountered in aquatic environments. To better understand the emergence of pandemic lin ...
