Microplastics in animal nutrition: Occurrence, spread, and hazard in animals
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, which have become a common environmental contaminant, spreading across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Concerns have been raised about the impact ... -
Effects of digital skills and other individual factors on retirement decision-making and their gender differences
(Springer New York, 2023)Increasing the pension age as a dominant solution to population ageing does not bring desirable outcomes, if not accompanied by other essential measures in lifelong learning and fighting age discrimination. Moreover, rapid ... -
Effect of fining agents on the chemical composition and sensory properties of apple cider
(Springer Heidelberg, 2024)This study focuses on analyzing the impact of various fining agents on apple cider and evaluating their effects on its physical-chemical and sensory properties. Despite its common cloudy state, some consumers prefer clear ... -
Stemflow infiltration hotspots near-tree stems along a soil depth gradient in a mixed oak–beech forest
(Springer New York, 2023)In an upland forested micro-catchment during the growing season, we tested soil responses to precipitation events as well as soil water content (SWC). We asked ourselves if what is the difference of SWC response to ... -
River Sediments Downstream of Villages in a Karstic Watershed Exhibited Increased Numbers and Higher Diversity of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
(Springer New York, 2024)The impact of residential villages on the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in streams flowing through them has not been studied in detail. Water and sediments of streams are highly susceptible to anthropogenic inputs such ... -
Female melon fruit flies, Zeugodacus cucurbitae, are attracted to a synthetic chemical blend based on male epicuticular components
(Springer Heidelberg, 2024)The melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is considered to be the most destructive pest of melons and other related cucurbit crops worldwide. Despite the potential of behaviour-based control ... -
Germination responses with different treatments, seed vigour and seedling growth of Pterolobium stellatum (Forssk.) provenances stored from 19 to 30 years
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)Knowledge of the genetic variability of different species for conservation purposes and quality seedling production after longer storage time is important. The aim of the research paper was to examine the effect of longer ... -
Effects of species and moisture content on the behaviour of solid wood under impact
(Springer New York, 2024)The article's main aim is to assess the effects of species and moisture content (MC) on the behaviour of solid wood material under the low velocity of impact and present a pattern for predicting loading vs time curves for ... -
The Ecological Potential of Poplars (Populus L.) for City Tree Planting and Management: A Preliminary Study of Central Poland (Warsaw) and Silesia (Chorzów)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2024)Urban environments face escalating challenges due to uncontrolled urbanization, rapid population growth, and climate changes, prompting the exploration of sustainable solutions for enhancing urban green spaces (UGSs). For ... -
Fuzzy-logical self-organisation system modelling—Illustrating case of self-organisation Czech restaurants during the Covid-19 pandemic
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)The aim of this paper is to show how Niklas Luhmann's concept of self-organization can be formalized using fuzzy logic. This approach is based on the shared assumptions of systems theory and fuzzy logic and focuses on ... -
Unraveling the ecotoxicological effects of micro and nano-plastics on aquatic organisms and human health
(Frontiers Media SA, 2024)Plastic pollution ranks among the most severe environmental disasters caused by humans, generating millions of tonnes of waste annually. The extensive and unregulated use of plastics has led to ecotoxicity and environmental ... -
Multirole of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in Biomedical Systems for Managing Smart Healthcare Systems: An Overview of Current and Future Innovative Trends
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an emerging subset of Internet of Things (IoT), often called as IoT in healthcare, refers to medical devices and applications with internet connectivity, is exponentially gaining ... -
Long-term shift towards shady and nutrient-rich habitats in Central European temperate forests
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Biodiversity world-wide has been under increasing anthropogenic pressure in the past century. The long-term response of biotic communities has been tackled primarily by focusing on species richness, community composition ... -
The response of forested upland micro-watersheds to extreme precipitation in a precipitation abundant year
(Springer Wien, 2024)We performed a comparative paired catchment study of three headwater upland forest micro-catchments with different forest types in the precipitation-abundant year 2020. The analysis was based on baseflow separation and ... -
The generalized Kelvin chain-based model for an orthotropic viscoelastic material
(Springer Netherlands, 2024)We propose a constitutive material model to describe the rheological (viscoelastic) mechanical response of timber. The viscoelastic model is based on the generalized Kelvin chain applied to the orthotropic material and is ... -
Are there trade-offs between animal welfare and egg-producing farm efficiency?
(Česká akademie zemědělských věd, 2024)Agribusiness is currently faced with the challenge of providing sufficient quality food for a growing population with limited natural resources. Egg production, as an important source of nutrition, is a dynamically developing ... -
Unlocking the power of nanomedicine: the future of nutraceuticals in oncology treatment
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023)Cancer, an intricate and multifaceted disease, is characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of cells that can lead to serious health complications and ultimately death. Conventional therapeutic strategies mainly ... -
Application of the GIS methods along with measured parameters to identify the NH4+ origin in the Hranice Karst (Czech Republic)
(Springer New York, 2024)The study aims to determine the source of NH4+ ions in the mineral waters of the Hranice Karst. The study area is located in the eastern part of the Czech Republic, Europe. The area is known mainly for its carbon dioxide ... -
Interactions between broiler parent stock age and egg pre-incubation duration: Effects on embryo development, hatchability, day-old chick weight, and yolk sac weight
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)Egg storage is a common practice in commercial hatcheries, but prolonged storage can negatively impact hatchability, causing a significant problem for the poultry industry. Repeated pre-incubation could mitigate the decline ... -
