It is easy to recognize that Earth’s climate changing. Scientists agree the changes they observe are mostly caused by humans, primarily due greenhouse gases emitted burning of fossil fuels. Climate change has severe consequences—it leads glaciers melting; sea levels rising; increased numbers dangerous heatwaves, wildfires and droughts; decrease yields from food crops; loss ecosystems. We can mo...

When embarking upon X-ray diffraction data collection from a potentially novel macromolecular crystal form, it can be useful to ascertain whether the measured data reflect a crystal form that is already recorded in the Protein Data Bank and, if so, whether it is part of a large family of related structures. Providing such information to crystallographers conveniently and quickly, as soon as the...

Alkaline proteases are one of the industrially important enzymes and generally preferred from alkaliphilic sources. Here we have provided the data on optimized production and characterization of alkaline proteases from five newly isolated and identified alkaliphiles from Lonar soda lake, India. The data provided for optimization of physicochemical parameters for maximum alkaline proteases produ...

the monobasic genus sphaeropothrips is recorded in iran for the first time. this is the fourth member of the thrips genus-group recorded from iran, and a key is provided to distinguish these four genera. information about these four genera is provided, and some problems in the recognition of true host-plant associations in iran are discussed.

A system for optimizing athletes’ sport performances has been designed and partially assembled on the basis of the already implemented “Mobile Coaching” and “PerPot” concepts. The intention of Mobile Coaching is to assist sportsmen via feedback information derived from physiological and biomechanical parameters recorded during physical activity. PerPot is an antagonistic model for predicting lo...

Both airborne and terrestrial laser scanners are used to capture large point clouds of the objects under study. Although for some applications, direct measurements in the point clouds may already suffice, most applications require an automatic processing of the point clouds to extract information on the shape of the recorded objects. This processing often involves the recognition of specific ge...

The large digital frame camera UltraCamX was introduced in 2006 by Vexcel Imaging (a Microsoft Company). This paper will give a short technical overview about the concept of the camera and more information on the radiometric quality of the UltraCamX. The focus in this paper is set on the radiometric quality of the sensors. Already recorded image data are analyzed in detail for their radiometric...
