trichoderma is a genus of asexually reproducing fungi that is present in all types of soils. trichoderma species have been recognized as antagonists of soil-borne and foliage pathogens and as efficient decomposers of cellulosic waste materials. moreover, they have the ability to increase plant growth and induce plant resistance. along with mycoparasitism, antibiotics and competition, induced re...

BACKGROUND The Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) is a top-level formal foundational ontology for the biomedical domain. It has been developed with the purpose to serve as an ontologically consistent template for top-level categories of application oriented and domain reference ontologies within the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies Foundry (OBO). BFO is important for enabling OBO ontologies t...

The paper presents a tool for the management of different metadata standards and for the efficient creation of metadata for learning object in the Adaptive Learning Environment. The Flexible Metadata Framework uses inheritance and inference on learning object metadata to support authors in the easy creation of metadata sets. Furthermore is enable administrators of LCMS system to easily extend, ...

Combinations of C++ features, like inheritance, templates, and class nesting, allow for the expression of powerful component patterns. In particular, research has demonstrated that, using C++ mixin classes, one can express layered component-based designs concisely with efficient implementations. In this paper, we discuss pragmatic issues related to component-based programming using C++ mixins. ...

An analysis was conducted to examine the market visibility of small aircraft as a transportation mode in competition with automobile and scheduled commercial air travel by estimating the pool of users that would potentially switch on-demand air travel due to cost/time saving. These new aircraft greatly increase the practicality of regional aircraft as a transportation mode that can avoid the co...
