Raw goat milk samples from Saanen and indigenous Portuguese breeds were analysed for gross composition, minerals and trace elements. Mean results revealed that some distinction could be seen for the Serrana breed. A significant geographical difference ( P < 0.05) between Serrana herds was also observed. Generally, milk from Saanen did not differ significantly ( P > 0.05) from that of the indigenous Portuguese breeds. Multivariate analysis showed that goat breeds could be divided into two groups, the ones ...

Future projections of precipitation are uncertain, hampering effective climate adaptation strategies globally. Our understanding of changes across multiple climate model simulations under a warmer climate is limited by this lack of coherence across models. Here, we address this challenge introducing an approach that detects agreement in drier and wetter conditions by evaluating continuous 120-year time-series with trends, across 146 Global Climate Model (GCM) runs and two elevated greenhouse gas ( ...

A multi-scenario, multi-model ensemble of simulations from regional climate models is outlined to provide the core data source for a set of climate projections and a climate change service. A subset of realisations from CMIP6 Global Climate Models (GCMs) are selected for downscaling by Regional Climate Models (RCMs) under a 'sparse matrix' framework using the CORDEX guidelines for Shared Socio-economic Pathways that feature low emissions (SSP1-2.6) and high emissions (SSP3-7.0).

Nowadays, we are witnessing the growth of the production and consumption of circular products. However, greenwashing is a marketing practice of presenting products as environmentally responsible without actually being so. This practice can influence consumer perceptions and attitudes toward the consumption of circular products. This study aims to explore the influence of companies’ greenwashing behaviors on the intention of circular consumption when mediated by environmental concerns and pro-circular ...

Abstract High‐resolution climate change projections are increasingly necessary to inform climate policy and adaptation planning. Downscaling of global climate models (GCMs) is required to simulate the climate at the spatial scale relevant for local impacts. Here, we dynamically downscaled 15 CMIP6 GCMs to a 10 km resolution over Australia using the Conformal Cubic Atmospheric model (CCAM), creating the largest ensemble of high‐resolution downscaled CMIP6 projections for Australia. We compared the ...

Oil spills are a worldwide concern since they cause environmental problems and financial losses. Automatic detection plays a crucial role in rapid decision-making to reduce damage. In this context, deep learning and remote sensing are powerful tools with successful applications in many regions. However, there are still no studies on deep-water zones and in the Brazilian territory. The present research has three contributions: (1) create an oil spill dataset on the Brazilian region, (2) compare state- ...

Panoptic segmentation combines instance and semantic predictions, allowing the detection of "things" and "stuff" simultaneously. Effectively approaching panoptic segmentation in remotely sensed data can be auspicious in many challenging problems since it allows continuous mapping and specific target counting. Several difficulties have prevented the growth of this task in remote sensing: (a) most algorithms are designed for traditional images, (b) image labelling must encompass "things" and "stuff" classes, ...

The main characteristic of Cannabis sativa L. is the production of compounds of medicinal interest known as phytocannabinoids. Environmental factors and crop management practices are directly related to the yield of these compounds. Knowing how these factors influence the production of phytocannabinoids is essential to promote greater metabolite yield and stability. In this review, we aim to examine current cannabis agronomic research topics to identify the available information and the main gaps ...

Vehicle classification is a hot computer vision topic, with studies ranging from ground-view to top-view imagery. Top-view images allow understanding city patterns, traffic management, among others. However, there are some difficulties for pixel-wise classification: most vehicle classification studies use object detection methods, and most publicly available datasets are designed for this task, creating instance segmentation datasets is laborious, and traditional instance segmentation methods underperform ...

In this context, methods based on Deep Learning (DL) have reached state-of-the-art in the classification of remote sensing images. However, the mapping of CPIS with DL is still restricted to optical images with limitations in tropical environments due to the extensive cloud cover for long periods.

Estimating timber volume and carbon stock in forests is fundamental for silviculture and for accurate estimation of national and global carbon budgets. Taper models are important tools for predicting diameter at any height along a tree bole. Mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP) influence tree growth, but their precise effects on stem shape are still poorly understood and climatic factors are seldom included in taper models. To evaluate the effect of climate on tree stems, ...
