The Walnut tree (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most consumed nut species that has been gaining importance with the implementation of new orchards from north to south of the country. The incomplete formation of the seed (Kernel Shrivel) is one of the problems that most depreciates the quality and for which there isn’t an effective control due to its unknown origin. The accumulation of seed reserves that result...
Assessing conservation status and pursuing applicable management priorities for marine megafauna across multiple scales pose significant challenges. Because marine turtles exemplify these challenges, the IUCN Marine Turtle Specialist Group (MTSG) developed the 'conservation priorities portfolio' (CPP) framework in 2011 to evaluate population risk and threats for regional management units (RMUs). Here, the MTSG ...

Anaerobic digestion processes are often implemented by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to stabilize and decrease the organic content of primary and secondary sludges. Additionally, this process allows to increase the energetic efficiency of WWTPs. Data from a digestor of a WWTP from the North of Portugal was used to study and design two machine learning models, LSTM-based and GRU-based, to predict energy pr...
Tourist photography is common, yet its impact on experience remains unclear. This research explores how photography fosters immersion, enhancing enjoyment, memory, and perceived authenticity. A quantitative model tested via online survey reveals photography’s positive influence on tourist value (functional, emotional, memorial, social). It recommends destination managers leverage photography while preserving at...
