IV Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
La IV Jornada de Joves Investigadors suposa la consolidació de la iniciativa duta a terme entre 2016 i 2018 amb les tres primeres jornades. Com aleshores, es tracta de fer aflorar i donar visibilitat a la recerca dels més ...
I Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l'IdRA
La I Jornada de Joves investigadors és una primera iniciativa per fer aflorar i donar visibilitat a la recerca dels més joves, planter de les futures generacions de l'IdRA. La pròpia tasca organitzativa i científica de na ...
Geology, geochemistry and mineralogy of the Loma de Hierro Ni-laterite deposit, Venezuela
Ni-laterite deposits host over 60% of the word land-based Ni resources (McRae, 2018). They formed from the weathering of Mg-rich ultramafic rocks exposed to the surface under favorable topography and climatic conditions. ...
Chlorination Cessation Alters Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in Artificial Urban Ponds
Cities are facing an ecological challenge, and international policies are increasingly focused on implementing nature-based solutions to support this transition. In this context, the naturalization of artificial urban ponds ...
Nitrate removal by combining chemical and biostimulation approaches using micro-zero valent iron and lactic acid
The occurrence of nitrate is the most significant type of pollution affecting groundwater globally, being a major contributor to the poor condition of water bodies. This pollution is related to livestock-agricultural and ...
Moradebrichthys vilasecae gen. et sp. nov., a new perleidid (Actinopterygii: Osteichthyes) from the Middle Triassic of Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula)
A new actinopterygian, Moradebrichthys vilasecae gen. et sp. nov., from the Middle Triassic (Late Ladinian) of Móra d'Ebre-Camposines (Catalonia, NE Iberian Peninsula) is erected on the basis of several, almost complete, ...
Arsenosugar extracted from algae: Isolation by anionic exchange solid-phase extraction
Obtaining reliable speciation data for evaluating dietary exposure, and increasing understanding of arsenic biochemistry in algae, are hindered by the availability of suitable standards of arsenosugars, the major species ...
VI Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
La VI Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l'Institut de Recerca de l'Aigua (IdRA) es planteja, un cop més, com una oportunitat científica per a les noves veus expertes en estudis de l'aigua que formen part de la Universitat ...
Analysing the contribution of intermittent rivers to beta diversity can improve freshwater conservation in Mediterranean rivers
In Mediterranean climate regions, intermittent rivers (IRs) harbor highly dynamic communities with species and trait composition changing over time and space. Simultaneously considering multiple biodiversity facets and a ...
VIII Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
L’aigua ens connecta a tots amb tot. És present en cada racó de la nostra vida i alhora és un dels recursos més fràgils que tenim. Aquest any, més que mai, hem sentit la seva absència i la seva força: la sequera persistent ...
Early water management systems on the southern Transjordan plateau
[eng] The efficient management of water resources to supply the needs of societies in territories where water is a scarce and limited resource has been essential throughout time. The site of Sela on the southern Transjordan ...
Assessing environmental exposure to viruses in wastewater treatment plant and swine farm scenarios with next-generation sequencing and occupational risk approaches
Occupational exposure to pathogens can pose health risks. This study investigates the viral exposure of workers in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and a swine farm by analyzing aerosol and surfaces samples. Viral ...
El interés geográfico de los documentos históricos en la explicación científica del foco glaciar del Corral del Veleta (Sierra Nevada, España) durante la Pequeña Edad del Hielo
La documentación histórica analizada ha ratificado su utilidad en el estudio del origen y evolución del foco glaciar del Corral del Veleta, instalado en el macizo de Sierra Nevada (España). La información obtenida, que ...
Characterization and classification of Spanish paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) by liquid chromatography coupled to electrochemical detection with screen-printed carbon-based nanomaterials electrodes
Screen-printed electrodes based on graphite, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and graphene were tested as amperometric detectors for the determination of polyphenols by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). ...
Photosynthesis, resource acquisition and growth responses of two biomass crops subjected to water stress
This study compares photosynthesis, growth, 13C and 15N labelling patterns of two biomass crops (Arundo donax L. and Panicum virgatum L.) grown under water stress in greenhouse conditions. Plants were exposed to three water ...
Impact of food waste composition on acidogenic co-fermentation with waste activated sludge
The impact of food waste (FW) composition on co-fermentation performance was studied to elucidate if adjusting FW composition can be used to drive the fermentation yield and profile, which is relevant for biorefinery ...
