We present the measurement principle and the optical design of a Quad Mach Zehnder Egg Timer (QMZ) interferometer as HSRL technique, allowing simultaneous measurements of particle backscattering and wind velocity.Key features of this concept is to operate with a multimodal laser and do not require any frequency stabilization.These features are rele
The capacity of wine yeast to utilize the nitrogen available in grape must directly correlates with the fermentation and growth rates of all wine yeast fermentation stages and is, thus, of critical importance for wine production.Here we precisely quantified the ability of low complexity nitrogen compounds to support fast, efficient and rapidly init
This second issue of 2021 is especially devoted to Arts Education.With a thematic dossier, guest-edited by Catarina S.Martins and Pedro Mucuna Pruriens Alves, this edition brings to the front a very urgent and significant problem in education: how to teach art and how to develop and sustain art schools.In a rapidly changing world, these problems mu
Soil metal contamination associated with productive activities is a global Disinfectants issue.Metals are not biodegradable and tend to accumulate in soils, posing potential risks to surrounding ecosystems and human health.Plant-based techniques (phytotechnologies) for the in situ remediation of metal-polluted soils have been developed, but these h
