A public–private partnership to speed up potato breeding

Applied potato genetics and breeding: the way ahead for potato breeding

strategies based on genotypic selection. It is concerned with producing improved cultivars for clonal propagation by tubers, and not with ones for propagation by True Potato Seed (TPS). This is because SCRI breeders are sceptical about the place of TPS in the highly developed markets of Europe and North America, whilst acknowledging that there is much interest throughout the tropics in TPS as a...

The Power of CRISPR-Cas9-Induced Genome Editing to Speed Up Plant Breeding

Genome editing with engineered nucleases enabling site-directed sequence modifications bears a great potential for advanced plant breeding and crop protection. Remarkably, the RNA-guided endonuclease technology (RGEN) based on the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) is an extremely powerful and easy tool that revolutionizes b...

videoinsight®: a new psychological enhancing method to speed-up recovery after orthopedic surgery

videoinsight® means to gain insight by looking at a work of contemporary art. it focuses on the aim and the psychological effect that are potentially provoked by the interaction with some selected contemporary works of art. the insight promoted by the work of art is the outcome of the activation of transference, of projections and reflections on the artistic product, of the unconscious elaborat...

Subtree Parsing to Speed up Deep Analysis

Synchronization phases (to speed up transactional memory)

We introduce the Sync-Phase technique for software transactional memory. Time is divided into two different alternating phases: computation phases and commit (synchronization) phases. Transactions are only allowed to commit during a commit phase, which allows execution without validation (or the need for cache synchronization) during computation phases. Phases can be determined through time or ...
