Epimerization of ergot alkaloids in feed

Chronic intake of cereals contaminated with ergot alkaloids can cause ergotism and Mastectomy Clothing result in the loss of toes and fingers or even death.Today, due to common risk management practices, ergotism is rare as a human disease but remains a problem in livestock husbandry.Each alkaloid coexists under two forms (R and S), though only the

Structure-from-Motion Photogrammetry and Rare Earth Oxides can quantify diffuse and convergent soil loss and source apportionment

Accurately quantifying rates of soil erosion requires capturing both the volumetric nature of the visible, convergent fluvial pathways (also known as rills) and the subtle nature of the less-visible, diffuse pathways (interrill areas).The aim of this study was to use Rare Earth Oxide Green Foods (REO) tracers and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogr
