**Background:** The farming of Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) is an important part of the poultry industry in developed countries; however, the lack of research and improvement programs has led to poor productive outcomes in developing regions …
Non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) is the second most important Colombian agribusiness in social importance. However, the sugar cane industry is facing some challenges caused by the controversial nutritional and safety attributes of NCS. Some Colombian …
Proper health management is essential for productivity in duck farming. However, there is limited information on the effect of management conditions on rates of metabolic problems and parasitic infections in anatids. We evaluated the rates of …
The Muscovy ducks (*Cairina moschata*) are one of the most exploited species in the duck farming industry due to their large size and their meat quality. Therefore, it has considerable economic value for small farmers and large factories. We aim to …
Wastewater sludge is a by-product of waste water treatment; it is often employed in agricultural processes following appropriate microbiological stabilization. In this study, we evaluated two methods of sludge stabilization in the waste water …
**Aims.** This work investigates the potential of using the wavelength-dependence of galaxy structural parameters (Sérsic index, $n$, and effective radius, $R_e$) to separate galaxies into distinct types. **Methods.** A sample of nearby galaxies with …
Bulge–disc decomposition is a valuable tool for understanding galaxies. However, achieving robust measurements of component properties is difficult, even with high-quality imaging, and it becomes even more so with the imaging typical of large …
We investigate the relationship between colour and structure within galaxies using a large, volume-limited sample of bright, low-redshift galaxies with optical–near-infrared imaging from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey. We fit single-component, …
We demonstrate a new multiwavelength technique for two-dimensional parametric modelling of galaxy surface-brightness profiles, which we have incorporated into the widely used software GALFIT. Our new method, named GALFITM, extends GALFIT3's current …
In this paper, we demonstrate a new method for fitting galaxy profiles which makes use of the full multiwavelength data provided by modern large optical–near-infrared imaging surveys. We present a new version of GALAPAGOS, which utilizes a recently …
