Adaptive-array beamforming achieves high resolution and sidelobe suppression by producing sharp nulls in the adaptive beampattern. Large-aperture sonar arrays with many elements have small resolution cells; interferers may move through many resolution cells in the time required for accumulating a full-rank sample covariance matrix. This leads to “snapshot-deficient” processing. In this paper, t...

High densities of antagonistic Streptomyces are associated with plant disease suppression in many soils. Here we review use of inoculation and organic matter amendments for enriching antagonistic Streptomyces populations to reduce plant disease and note that effective and consistent disease suppression in response to management has been elusive. We argue that shifting the focus of research from...

epilepsy is among the most common disorders of the central nervous system and there is not an absolute method for its treatment. it has been shown that each seizure has a depressing effect on the following seizure. thus, finding the mechanisms responsible in this phenomenon can improve our knowledge toward new ways for epilepsy treatment. in this study, the role of adenosine a1 receptors in pos...

background: many of health system services are done in clinical counseling. a patient’s expectation of clinical consultation and physician office visits is to obtain diagnostic-remedial results, while such an expectation can be fulfilled only through an active relationship between the doctor and the patient. the aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of doctor- patient interaction in an e...

Plant shoots have thick, polylamellate outer epidermal walls based on crossed layers of cellulose microfibrils, but the involvement of microtubules in such wall lamellation is unclear. Recently, using a long-term movie system in which Arabidopsis seedlings were grown in a biochamber, the tracks along which cortical microtubules move were shown to undergo slow rotary movements over the outer sur...

In this position paper we present S-MOVE (Smart and Social Move), a social innovation project funded by MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education, Research and University). SMOVE is based on a new conception of urban community, that allows citizens to share data and decisions in a smart and innovative way. In order to implement this new vision of urban mobility, called smart mobility, a deep integrat...
