321 honey samples from Switzerland were collected. The botanical authenticity of 176 honey samples was confirmed by the determination of electrical conductivity, sugar composition, pH-value, free acidity, and microscopical pollen analysis [2], as well as the sensory evaluation by three experts. The honey samples were assigned to one of the following groups: floral honeys from acacia (Robinia sp...

Ambient Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing systems must deal with a wide variety of environments, users and devices. Designing and implementing their interaction systems is quite a complicated task because it is difficult to know in advance the conditions in which the system will be run. This article presents Dandelion, a framework that uses a model-driven approach to support the development...

This research aimed to investigate the uricosuric effect of dandelion plant extracts in hyperuricemic rats induced by potassium oxonate (PO).
 Methods. Hyperuricemia was using PO, and root were administered observe their impact on uric acid (UA) levels. The study involved adult male Swiss weighing approximately 150–180 grams, randomly divided into five groups (n = 6). Group 1 served as nor...

The present study investigates the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the major bioactive constituents of medicinally important plant Taraxacum officinale in its aqueous and methanol extract of root, stem and flower. Saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols were highly concentrated in the stem, root and flower, with the higher concentration of flavonoids in the flower extracts. Phenols an...

The amount of data generated on the Web is increasing day by day, but it is not always accessible and usable: developers have to go through numerous steps from obtaining the data to building applications on top of it. The mission of SpazioDati is to eliminate these steps from the development process. SpazioDati pulls the data from various disparate data sources together in one big knowledge gra...

At present, there are few harvesters for dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum) seeds, which limits the large-area planting of dandelion. Furthermore, manual harvesting is characterized by huge labor intensity, low efficiency, and high costs. Combining material characteristics plants seeds with agronomic requirements a self-propelled seed harvester was designed. The mainly composed collection devices...
