Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDietary Inclusion of Sunflower Seed Alters Blood Plasma and Endometrium Lipid Profile in Beef CowsMariângela Bueno Cordeiro Maldonado, Ricardo de Oliveira Rodrigues, Dante Pazzanese Duarte Lanna et al.Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA)-enriched diets are recognized as a significant approach for improving the reproductive efficiency of cattle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sunflower seed, a PUFA-rich feed source, supplementation on plasma and endometrium lipid profiles in beef cattle. It was hypothesized that feeding of sunflower seed has an additional effect on PUFA that … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2023 · 5,547 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolluscicidal Activity of Ethanolic Dieffenbachia seguine (Dumb Cane) Leaf Extract Against Pomacea canaliculata (Golden Apple Snail)Alfredo V. Corpuz, Carmela M. Florentino, Ace Danielle C. Avero, Sherwin V. AlvaroThe golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata), an invasive species that originated in South America, has caused significant damage to rice plantations in Southeast Asia, notably the Philippines. Because of its voracious appetite for aquatic vegetation and quick reproduction rate, it poses a significant agricultural problem. Conventional control approaches, which mostly use chemical molluscicides, have increased environmental issues and threats to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 846 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 709 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Context-Aware Temporal Convolutional Network for Water Replacement Prediction in Catfish Biofloc Ponds With Imbalanced Event HandlingYaddarabullah, Inanpi Hidayati Sumiasih, Mutiara Dewi PuspitawatiWater replacement is a biologically critical yet under-automated decision in biofloc-based aquaculture systems. Mistimed actions can destabilize microbial ecosystems, elevate fish mortality, and compromise sustainability through excessive water usage. Traditional rule-based heuristics often fail to account for the nonlinear and multiscale dynamics of pond environments. To address this, we propose a Context-Aware Temporal Convolutional Network (CA-TCN), a rare-event classification framework … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Mar 2026 · 1,664 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLarvicidal Activity of Spondias purpurea (Sineguelas) Leaf and Hylocereus costaricensis (Dragon Fruit) Stem Extracts Against Aedes aegyptiAlfredo V. Corpuz, Nigell Mikhail A. Gallardo, Ace Danielle C. AveroThe study determined the larvicidal activity of the different concentrations of Spondias purpurea and Hylocereus costaricensis extracts by measuring percent mortality in Aedes aegypti larvae, a primary vector of dengue and other arboviral diseases. The hypothesis proposed that combining both extracts would yield greater larvicidal activity due to potential synergistic interactions. Ethanolic extraction was used to isolate a wide array … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2025 · 2,417 accessesView PDF Cite
