Summerfruit tοrtriχ, Adoxophyes orana: life cycle, warning system and control

Phylogenetic analysis of conserved genes within the ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase gene region of the slow-killing Adoxophyes orana granulovirus.

A physical map of the genome of Adoxophyes orana granulovirus (AoGV) was constructed for the restriction enzymes BamHI, BglII, EcoRI, PstI and SacI using restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA hybridization techniques. This enabled the size of the AoGV genome to be estimated at 100.9 kbp. A plasmid library covering 99.9% of the AoGV genome was constructed using five restriction enzymes. The ...

On the Optimal Frequency and Timing of Control Points in a Project’s Life Cycle

The dynamic nature of projects and the fact that they are carried out in changing environments, justify the need for their periodic monitoring and control. Collection of information about the performance of projects at control points costs money. The corrective actions that may need to be taken to bring the project in line with the plan also costs money. On the other hand, penalties are usually...

An efficient method to control the amplitude of the limit cycle in satellite attitude control system

In this paper, an efficient method is presented to control the attitude of a satellite with ON-OFF actuator. The main objective of this novel method is to control the amplitude of the limit cycle which commonly appears in the steady state of such systems; and at the same time by consideration of real actuator constraints, reduce the fuel consumption of system. The Proposed method is a combinati...

Techno- Economic and Life- Cycle Cost Assessment of the CCHP/ PV Hybrid System Application

In recent decades, excessive using fossil fuels has been resulted in emitting greenhouse gases such as CO2, consequently, environmental pollution. In this study, the techno-economic analysis of the CCHP/PV hybrid system application for a sample building was examined to reduce the environmental pollution and primary energy consumption of the buildings. The life-cycle cost analysis was...
