Heat waves and drought stress are typical aspects of current climate change, significantly affecting the grapevine physiology in many world growing areas. Biostimulants can play an important role reducing negative effects change; that’s why this experiment was set up order to test two new foliar biostimulants (protein hydrolysates plant origin). The field carried out 2017 2018 Oltrepo pavese ar...

Tropical secondary forests are widespread in the anthropogenically modified landscapes. Because tropical were known to show a steady rate of above-ground biomass (AGB) recovery, they expected play crucial role carbon sequestration. However, preliminary survey logged-over Borneo, some patches covered with ferns and vines do not seem recover steadily despite fact that several decades have passed ...

The effect of gravity and sliding friction on the dynamics around targeted energy transfer an inclined vibro-impact nonlinear sink (VINES) is addressed. non-smooth first formulated in Signorini’s contact law treated using a Moreau-Jean scheme adapted with energy-conserving integration method. Exhaustive discussions are then carried out regarding vibration damping performance VINES, as well thei...

1 June 1, 1998 Introduction It has long been known that modular arithmetic often produces interesting numerical patterns. These patterns can be made easier to comprehend and more interesting by rendering them as images with colors associated with numerical values. The example most often cited is Pascal’s Triangle, which exhibits the binomial coefficients. If you take the coefficients modulo m f...

Intrathymic expression of tissue-specific self-Ags can mediate tolerance of self-reactive T cells. However, in this study we define circumstances by which thymic expression of a tissue-specific autoepitope enhances positive selection of disease-causing, self-reactive T cells. An immunodominant gastritogenic epitope, namely the gastric H/K ATPase beta subunit(253-277) (H/Kbeta(253-277)), was att...

A method of representing transformations of a finite set pictorially is described. These pictures of a function are used to count certain idempotent transformations, and interesting formulae for the Fibonacci numbers are obtained. No part of any string extends beyond the region ° : : ; z ::; 1, and if two strings intersect then they join together, from the point of intersection, to meet the sam...

Recent studies have focused on developing security systems using micro-Doppler radars to detect human bodies. However, the resolution of these conventional methods is unsuitable for identifying bodies and moreover, most of these conventional methods were designed for a solitary or sufficiently well-spaced targets. This paper proposes a solution to these problems with an image separation method ...

Alternaria leaf blight is a much greater threat to muskmelons than watermelons. The disease is caused by a fungus (Alternaria cucumerina) that can rapidly defoliate plants, causing reductions in bulk yield. Melons on defoliated vines ripen prematurely and result in lower quality fruit compared to melons produced on healthy vines. Yield losses greater than 50% will occur in situations where the ...
