Peach crop area in Uruguay has seen a reduction over the last years.A possible reason for this is a decrease in return.Consequently, this paper aims at studying whether or not peach growing is a profitable activity for growers.Data supporting this study came from Mercado Modelo of Montevideo and the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and hooks hang

Increasing extreme precipitation variability plays a key role in future record-shattering event probability
Abstract Climate events that break records by large margins are a threat to Pest control society and ecosystems.Climate change is expected to increase the probability of such events, but quantifying these probabilities is challenging due to natural variability and limited data availability, especially for observations and very rare extremes.Here we
Salivary Digestion Extends the Range of Sugar-Aversions in the German Cockroach
Saliva has diverse functions in feeding behavior of animals.However, the impact of salivary digestion of food on insect gustatory information processing is poorly documented.Glucose-aversion (GA) in the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, is a highly adaptive heritable behavioral resistance trait that protects the cockroach from ingesting glucos
Bionic e-skin with precise multi-directional droplet sliding sensing for enhanced robotic perception
Abstract Electronic skins with deep and comprehensive liquid information detection are desired to endow intelligent robotic devices with augmented perception and autonomous regulation in common droplet environments.At present, one technical limitation of electronic skins is the inability to perceive the liquid sliding information as realistically a
