En este trabajo presentamos varios software de código libre diseñados para el análisis datos secuenciación masiva microbiomas con objetivo investigar las resistencias a antimicrobianos (RAM) una premisa principal: que sean fáciles usar. TORMES 2.0, transTORMES y torMAGs pueden trabajar directamente desde los archivos crudos permiten completo genomas bacterianos, la recuperación MAGs metagenomas RNAseq. Respectivamente. ChroQueTas permite RAM en fúngicos, buscando mutaciones genes diana antifúngicos.
Rice cultivation is one of the largest users world’s freshwater resources. The contribution remote sensing observations for identifying conditions under which rice cultivated, particularly throughout growing season, can be instrumental water, and crop management. Data from different platforms are being used in agriculture, namely to detecting anomalies crops. This attempted by calculating vegetation indices (VI) that based on reflectance bands, especially those rely Red, Green, near-infrared...
Salinization is a major soil degradation threat in irrigated lands worldwide. In Portugal, it affects several pockets of agricultural areas, but the spatial distribution and intensity salinity are not well known. Unlike conventional approaches to appraise salinity, remote sensing multispectral data have great potential for detecting, monitoring, investigating problems areas. This study explores assessment rice cultivation fields using two types multispectral-based indices calculated from...
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) has become a threat to many aquatic environments worldwide. This weed presents rapid reproductive capacity and outcompetes other plant species, forming dense, free-floating mats, which in instances completely cover fresh-water surfaces. The infestation leads several serious environmental (including ecological socioeconomic) impacts that are hazardous systems, disables human uses of surface waters, affects hydraulic infrastructures (e.g., waterways...
Duckweed species, particularly Lemna minor, are widely found in freshwaters all over the world. This macrophyte provides multiple ecosystems’ functions and services, but its excessive proliferation can have negative environmental impacts (including ecological socio-economic impacts). work explores use of remote sensing tools for mapping dynamics minor open watercourses, which could contribute to identifying suitable monitoring programs integrated management practices. The study focuses on a...
Mapping river beds to identify water and sandbars is a crucial task for understanding the morphology hydrodynamics of rivers their ecological conditions. The main difficulties this so far have been limitations conventional approaches, which are generally costly (e.g., equipment, time- human resource-demanding) poor flexibility deal with all Currently, alternative approaches rely on remote sensing techniques, offer innovative tools mapping bodies in quick cost-effective manner based relevant...
As demand for oil increases, production from large fields is declining at 4–5% annually, and the world of expected to peak around 2010. In meantime, there one liquid fuel that renewable can be used in vehicles without major modification engine—it biofuel (biomass fuel). Ethanol an alcohol-based produced by fermenting distilling crops such as corn, barley, wheat, like. There are a few issues discussed regarding use ethanol biofuel: (i) possibility more energy grow process raw material (e.g....
This study presents a tracer technique based on the fluorescent properties of quinine to help visualization shallow flows and allow quantitative measurement overland flow velocities. Laboratory experiments were conducted compare traditional dye thermal techniques with this novel (quinine) by injecting solution other tracers into flowing surface water. The leading-edge velocities, estimated using videos compared velocities obtained thermograms real imaging tracers. results show that can be...
Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) provide an efficient and relatively affordable remote sensing technology for assessing vegetation attributes status across agricultural areas through wide-area imagery collected with cameras installed on board. This reduces the cost time of crop monitoring at field scale in comparison to conventional surveys. In general, by using sensing-based approaches, information conditions is obtained calculation mapping multispectral indices. However, some...
This study aimed to understand the intersection between psychoanalysis and art, focusing on two main aspects: first, art as a drive destination through sublimation; second, interactions artistic creation in psychoanalytic analysis. As result, it was also observed that sublimatory process of enriches subjectivity both artist spectator, connecting individual experiences fostering cultural progress. Furthermore, research highlights parallels practice, functioning pathways for meaning-making...
As espécies exóticas com grande potencial invasor constituem uma séria ameaça à redução da biodiversidade, resultando em custos ambientais e económicos elevados. No caso de plantas invasoras aquáticas, a extensão desta problemática massas água superficiais vulneráveis apresenta-se como especialmente gravosa. Dificuldades inerentes monitorização dessas métodos convencionais têm levado utilização ferramentas deteção remota para este fim. Neste estudo explora-se o papel dos dados obtidos pelo...
The global water cycle is closely related to climate change, and fresh a precious resource. Therefore, the effects of change on quality are major importance. Worldwide, shallow lakes ponds most abundant reservoir types. However, there have been few studies about despite their large number. It commonly accepted that wind-driven currents thermal stratification mainly affect circulation oxygen diffusion in lakes. presented research aims verify whether this view would be observed pond (⁓1 m...
