Global-scale, real-time drought index database
The SPEI is a multi-scale drought index based on climate data that allows the objective quantification of the characteristics of drought episodes on a global scale.
Drone sensor for soil moisture and irrigation efficiency
Droughts demand more precise technologies to measure soil moisture. The solution uses a drone-mounted sensor that reaches 50 cm depth, with a spatial resolution of 20 m and coverage of 30 ha/hour. It enables monitoring of large areas, optimizing irrigation, and detecting water leaks with high efficiency.
Adjustable cutting knife with protection for trimming hides for both tanning and taxidermy
Enhanced knife that enables customizable thinning of hides during the tanning process, offering both protection and adjustable thickness. It is simple to use, features no moving electrical parts, and is highly safe for the user.
Compounds for the treatment of canine Leishmaniosis
New family of compounds with demonstrated in vitro efficacy against intracellular parasites responsible for leishmaniasis and American trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease. Pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies have been conducted in rats, as well as preliminary efficacy studies in a murine model.
Legume derived nutraceuticals as radiosensitizing agents for tumor cells
Natural nutraceutical to promote the prevention of the cancer stem cells (CSCs) phenotype acquisition at the origin of tumor regrowth, metastasis and relapse.
Eudesmanolides as biostimulants for mycorrhizal colonization
New plant-based compounds for use as biostimulants in sustainable agriculture. Ideal for improving the activity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and mycorrhization in plants.
