PEAR BLIGHT WIND BORNE

Mechanistically compatible mixtures of bacterial antagonists improve biological control of fire blight of pear.

Mixtures of biological control agents can be superior to individual agents in suppressing plant disease, providing enhanced efficacy and reliability from field to field relative to single biocontrol strains. Nonetheless, the efficacy of combinations of Pseudomonas fluorescens A506, a commercial biological control agent for fire blight of pear, and Pantoea vagans strain C9-1 or Pantoea agglomera...

Adm-aeolus – Esa’s Space-borne Wind Profiling Lidar

The ‘Living Planet Programme’ of the European Space Agency (ESA) is gaining momentum. Six Earth Explorer missions are currently being implemented including ADM-Aeolus, ESA’s Doppler Wind LIDAR (DWL) mission. The Aeolus mission will demonstrate the capability of a space-borne high spectral resolution DWL to accurately measure wind profiles in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere (0-30 km)....

Simulation of Wind Profiles from a Space-borne Doppler Wind Lidar

The importance of wind observations for meteorological analysis has been recognized for many years. The current global observing system lacks a uniform distribution of tropospheric wind measurements, especially in the tropics, southern hemisphere, and northern hemisphere oceans. A Doppler wind lidar (DWL), mounted on a spaceborne platform, has the potential to provide a global three-dimensional...

Prickly pear

The PEAR proposition.

For more than a quarter century, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory has engaged in a broad range of experiments on consciousness-related physical anomalies and has proposed a corresponding selection of theoretical models that have combined to illuminate the fundamental nature of the provocative phenomena that emerge. Productive pursuit of this topic has inescapably i...
