This study investigated the effects of skim-milk supplementation on the quality and penetrating ability of boar semen preserved at 15 °C. When boar semen samples were preserved in Modified Modena extender supplemented with various concentrations (0, 7.5, 15, 30 and 50 mg/mL) of skim milk powder at 15 °C for 4 weeks, higher sperm motility and viability were observed in the case of 7.5 mg/mL skim...

The authorities in Modena hope the bats can stop the onslaught of the tiger mosquito. Council workers place the bat boxes in quiet, dark, south-facing sites that bats prefer for breeding in the early months of the year. “We are trying to think of what we could do to exploit their natural predators and so we thought of bats,” says Modena’s environment councillor Simona Arletti. “Until now the me...

The paper presents the development of a virtual database for the genotypic selection of cereal cultivars starting from phenotypic traits. The database is realized by integrating two existing web databases, Gramene 1 and Graingenes , and a pre-existing data source developed by the Agrarian Faculty of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. The integration process gives rise to a virtual inte...

The simplicity of keyword queries has made them particularly attractive to the technically unskilled user base, tending to become the de-facto standard for querying on the web. Unfortunatelly, alongside its simplicity, came also the loose semantics. Researchers have for a long time studied ways to understand the keyword query semantics and retrieve the most relevant data artifacts. For the web,...

Today most used devices are connected with each other building the Internet of Things (IoT). A variety of protocols are used depending on the underlying network infrastructure, application (e.g., Smart City, eHealth), and device capability. The judgment of the security feeling of the data sharing depends on personal settings (e.g., easy to use, encrypted transmission, anonymization support). Mo...
