The implementation of intelligent systems is not particularly widespread in the field of Botany and even less so on Internet. At present, we can currently only find hypertext documents or databases which store unprocessed information. The GREEN (Gymnosperms Remote Expert Executed Over Networks) System is presented as the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques to the problem of botani...

Time-dependent ovulation-blocking effect of ether anesthesia was investigated using female Wistar-Imamichi rats showing a 4-day cycling rhythm. A 6-hr (1400-2000) and 8-hr (1400-2200) anesthesia with ether vapor on proestrus caused ovulation blockade in 85% and 100% of the rats, respectively. On the other hand, pentobarbital injections at 1400 and 1500 completely blocked the spontaneous ovulati...

In this paper, 10-years of ozone (O3) hourly concentrations collected over the period 2000e2009 in the Iberian Peninsula (IP) are analyzed using records from 11 background sites. All the selected monitoring stations present an acquisition efficiency above 85%. The changes in surface ozone over the Iberian Peninsula are examined by means of quantile regression, which allows to analyse the trends...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the rearing conditions during the fattening period of Iberian pigs on the acceptance of the dry-cured hams, and to research into the relationship between acceptance and sensory characteristics, chemical composition and physical-chemical parameters. The duration of the fattening period in Montanera (outdoor system based on acorns and g...

Egg masses of the loliginid squid Loligo vulgaris Lamarck, 1798 are attached to hard substratum or branched sessile organisms on the sea bottom. Embryonic development lasts from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the environmental water temperature. Because embryonic statolith growth of L. vulgaris is very sensitive to temperature under laboratory conditions, we analyzed the possibilitie...

Initial (IC) and boundary conditions (BC) are required in order to solve the set of stiff differential equations included in air quality models. In this work, the influences of ICeBC are analyzed in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula (NEIP) by applying MM5eEMICAT2000eCMAQ. A multiscale-nested configuration has been used to generate the ICeBC. The wider domain (D1) covers an area of 1392 1104 km...
