Bacterial extracellular vesicles and associated functional proteins in fermented dairy products with Lacticaseibacillus paracasei by Gaspar Pérez Martínez, Lola Giner-Pérez, Lola Giner-Pérez, Keshia F. Castillo-Romero, Keshia F. Castillo-Romero

“…Strains present in those products were isolated, and with one exception, all produced small EVs (24–47 d.nm) carrying P40 and P75. In order to winnow bacterial EV from milk EV, products were subjected to centrifugal fractionation at 15,000 × g (15 K), 33,000 × g (33 K), and 100,000 × g (100 K). …”

Novel Vegetation Indices for Cotton Boll Opening Status Estimation Using Sentinel-2 Data by Yu Ren, Yanhua Meng, Wenjiang Huang, Huichun Ye, Yuxing Han, Weiping Kong, Xianfeng Zhou, Bei Cui, Naichen Xing, Anting Guo, Yun Geng

“…Therefore, it is an effective method to detect boll opening status by constructing vegetation indices with the sensitive spectral bands of imagery. In this study, we proposed two new vegetation indices based on Sentinel-2 remote sensing data, namely, the boll area ratio index (BARI) and the boll opening rate index (BORI), in order to estimate the boll opening status on a regional scale. …”
