Eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV, genus Nucleorhabdovirus, family Rhabdoviridae) is transmitted in nature by leafhoppers and its natural host range includes vegetable crops (eggplant, tomato, potato, pepper), ornamentals (pittosporum, honeysuckle, pelargonium) and wild plants (caper, Solanum nigrum). The prevalence of infections is generally very low. EMDV has been demonstrated to be the caus...

This research was carried out in order to evaluate the presence and distribution of viral infections causing severe disease eggplant plants collected from different districts Bekaa valley, Lebanon. Most infected showed virus-like symptoms consisting predominantly leaf blotch, mottling chlorotic ring spots; twisting plant dwarf were also observed visited fields. Symptomatic asymptomatic screened...

Traffic accidents have become a major issue for researchers, academia, government and vehicle manufacturers over the last few years. Many emergency situations frequently occur on road. Unfortunately, lead to health injuries, destruction of some infrastructure, bad traffic flow, more importantly these events cause deaths hundreds thousands people due not getting treatment in time. Thus, we need ...

In this paper, the authors propose a simple concept for emergency information dissemination in vehicular ad-hoc networks. Instead of competing for the shared wireless medium when transmitting the emergency information, the authors’ proposed method requires nodes to cooperate by synchronizing their transmissions. The proposed scheme is backward compatible with IEEE 802.11p carrier sense multiple...
