Plantation forestry has a long history in Europe and still supports local industry, generating employment, improving environmental quality, and mitigating climate change. As part of these plantations, medium-rotation poplars ...
Identifying Suitable Restoration and Conservation Areas for Dracaena cinnabari Balf.f. in Socotra, Yemen
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
We examine the distribution of Dracaena cinnabari, the Socotran Dragon's Blood Tree, an endangered species endemic to the island of Socotra (Yemen)-and we propose an accessibility approach to its conservation, taking the ...
Elasto-plastic material model of oak at two moisture content levels
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2022)
The mechanical properties of wood show a very high dependence on the moisture content (MC). A consideration of MC in numerical simulations increases the applicability of such prediction with respect to application and ...
Multilocus Sequence Genotype Heterogeneity in Streptococcus uberis Isolated from Bovine Mastitis in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
The ubiquitous occurrence and high heterogeneity of Streptococcus uberis strains cause difficulties in the development and implementation of effective control strategies in dairy herds. In this study, S. uberis strains ...
Physical-Mechanical Properties of Peat Moss (Sphagnum) Insulation Panels with Bio-Based Adhesives
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Rising energy and raw material prices, dwindling resources, increased recycling, and the need for sustainable management have led to growth in the smart materials sector. In recent years, the importance and diversity of ...
Effect of Norway Spruce Forest Dieback on Soil Water Balance: The Examples from Upland Areas of the Czech Republic
(Slovenská poľnohospodárska univerzita v Nitre, 2022)
This study focuses on the description of soil water balance under three different spruce monoculture conditions, nemaly living forest, disturbed forest with dead trees and after forest clear-cutting. Analysis was based on ...
Non-Indigenous Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda): From a Few Notorious Cases to a Potential Global Faunal Mixing in Aquatic Ecosystems
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Non-indigenous species may pose a threat to native ecosystems worldwide. In aquatic environments, invasives may have a negative impact on human food security and livelihoods. Several water fleas (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: ...
Effects of Wood Particles from Deadwood on the Properties and Formaldehyde Emission of Particleboards
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
The volume of deadwood increases annually because of changes in environmental, climatic, and hydrological conditions. On the other hand, during the last decade, manufacturers of wood-based boards have been facing an acute ...
A Comparative Cross-Platform Analysis to Identify Potential Biomarker Genes for Evaluation of Teratozoospermia and Azoospermia
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Male infertility is a global public health concern. Teratozoospermia is a qualitative anomaly of spermatozoa morphology, contributing significantly to male infertility, whereas azoospermia is the complete absence of ...
Epigenetic factors in breast cancer therapy
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022)
Epigenetic modifications are inherited differences in cellular phenotypes, such as cell gene expression alterations, that occur during somatic cell divisions (also, in rare circumstances, in germ line transmission), but ...
