When perception meets reality: explaining measured food waste through consumer behavior in a university dining hall

Food waste (FW) in university dining halls generates significant environmental and economic impacts, yet most studies rely on self-reported measures and rarely combine behavioral perceptions with objective waste data. This study investigates the determinants of consumer FW by int...

Atrazine dissipation and soybean phytotoxicity following burndown applications of atrazine + mesotrione + triclopyr for Conyza spp. management

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of (atrazine + mesotrione) + triclopyr on Conyza spp. at different intervals between application and soybean sowing, as well as the phytotoxic effects of residual atrazine on soybeans. The field experiment, conducted in a randomized...

Intermediate proportions of composted sewage sludge improve Cedrela fissilis seedling growth and quality

Abstract Substrate composition and irrigation management influence forest seedling quality, but the proportion of composted sewage sludge (CSS) suitable for Cedrela fissilis remains unclear. We evaluated seedlings grown in five substrate formulations containing 0, 25, 50, 75, or...

Genesis and properties of representative Ferralsols from the Brazilian Cerrado of Piauí

Abstract Ferralsols cover substantial areas in tropical regions, yet their pedogenesis on sedimentary rocks remains insufficiently understood. This study aimed to characterize the morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties of five representative sandy-texture...

Evolution of striking dominance in Ultimate Fighting Championship: A cross-temporal analysis of factors associated with victory

This study examined the evolution of action frequencies associated with victory in UFC bouts across three distinct eras (2003–2004, 2013–2014, and 2023–2024). A total of 1722 fights were analyzed: Early Era (2003–2004; n = 77), Transition Era (2013–2014; n = 813), and Modern Era...

Machine learning–based modeling of response patterns to transcranial direct current stimulation in women with fibromyalgia

Background Clinical heterogeneity in fibromyalgia (FM) results in highly variable therapeutic responses to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Identifying predictors and temporal response patterns is crucial to transform personalized neuromodulation strategies. This s...

A Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Moringa oleifera in Sheep and Goat Production Systems in the Scopus and Web of Science Databases (2000–2025)

The multifunctionality of Moringa oleifera is widely recognized; however, its application in small ruminant production remains limited. This study aimed to analyze research trends, scientific structures, and knowledge gaps related to the use of Moringa oleifera in sheep and goat...

Aerial Application of Granular Potassium Chloride: Effects of Flight Height and Application Rate on Deposition Uniformity

The pursuit of greater efficiency in agricultural operations, particularly in input application, has led producers to adopt strategies aimed at minimizing production costs. Aerial fertilizer application has emerged as a viable alternative due to its high operational efficiency an...

On the effects of using nonlinear springs in mono-coupled periodic structures

Abstract Many strategies are employed to control structural vibration. One of them is to design structural elements in a periodic arrangement to obtain the so-called bandgap effect. For infinite periodic structures, bandgaps are defined as frequency ranges where waves do not prop...
