In mobile environment, the asymmetric communication between mobile clients and server is a distinguishing feature. The conventional query processing mechanisms cannot be directly applied. In this research, we investigate the approach of using separate processing for read-only transactions (ROTs). Since ROTs have a significant proportion in several applications like traffic information service, ...

Diseases caused by root rots figure prominently amongst the most-studied pathologies of forest trees. Indeed, root and butt rots cause more economic damage to commercial forestry in the temperate world than any other known type of disease. While this notoriety underlines the negative impact of this type of disease on timber production, a much more dynamic and positive role can be assigned to ro...

Aureobasidium pullulans, a cosmopolitan yeast-like fungus, colonises leaf surfaces and is a potential biocontrol agent for plant pathogens. Forty-one isolates of the fungus from the surface of several fruits and vegetables cultivated in Southern Italy were compared by molecular analysis and biocontrol activity. Characterisation of the isolates by using arbitrarily primed PCR (ap-PCR) confirmed ...

Abstract Objectives The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of essential oils against fungal pathogens including chemical analysis (GC-MS) most effective oil. Methods antifungal assessed after morpho-molecular identification Alternaria alternata . Mycelial growth inhibition (%) in vitro treatment eight at different concentrations observed A. Fungitoxicity assay done following composition by ...

Fruit diseases brought on by fungus infestation leads to postharvest losses of fresh fruit. Approximately 30% harvested fruits do not reach consumers’ plates due losses. Fungal pathogens play a substantial part in those losses, as they cause the majority fruit rots and consumer complaints. Understanding fungal pathogenic processes control measures is crucial for developing disease prevention tr...

In the internet environment, computers-based information systems are being employed to maintain large amounts of information to meet different users’ information requirements. The users interact with the system by inserting/updating/querying the required information. The information systems process the user requests by executing the update transactions (UTs) for inserts/updates and readonly tra...

In the emerging web databases and e-commerce scenario, information systems have to meet intensive information requirements from a large number of users. These information systems receive both update transactions (UTs) and read-only transactions (ROTs). A UT contains both read and write operations and an ROT contains only read operations. Designing efficient protocols to process ROTs is a resear...

Differential expression analysis is one of the most common types of analyses performed on various biological data (e.g. RNA-seq or mass spectrometry proteomics). It is the process that detects features, such as genes or proteins, showing statistically significant differences between the sample groups under comparison. A major challenge in the analysis is the choice of an appropriate test statis...
