A complete structural characterization of the desferrioxamine E biosynthetic pathway from the fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora
(2018)The Gram-negative bacterium Erwinia amylovora is the etiological agent of fire blight, a devastating disease which affects Rosaceae such as apple, pear and quince. The siderophore desferrioxamine E plays an important role ... -
Global environmental change effects on plant community composition trajectories depend upon management legacies
(2018)The contemporary state of functional traits and species richness in plant communities depends on legacy effects of past disturbances. Whether temporal responses of community properties to current environmental changes are ... -
Nitrate induction and physiological responses of two maize lines differing in nitrogen use efficiency: effects on N availability, microbial diversity and enzyme activity in the rhizosphere
(SPRINGER, 2018)The rate of nitrate (NO3 (-)) uptake and changes in rhizosphere properties were studied growing seedlings of two maize inbred lines differing in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rhizoboxes.Changes in NO3 (-) uptake rates ... -
Structural and functional analysis of Erwinia amylovora SrlD: The first crystal structure of a sorbitol-6-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase
(2018)Sorbitol-6-phosphate 2-dehydrogenases (S6PDH) catalyze the interconversion of D-sorbitol 6-phosphate to D-fructose 6-phosphate. In the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora the S6PDH SrlD is used by the bacterium to utilize ... -
Classes of multiojectives games possessing Pareto equilibria
(2017)In this paper we study non cooperative games with potential as introduced by Monderer and Shapley in 1996. We extend the notions of weighted and ordinal potential games to a multicriteria setting and study their Pareto ... -
Business relationships and B2B communication in selected European agri-food chains – First empirical evidence
(2008)The roles of business relationships and B2B communication in selected European agri-food chains are analyzed. Using survey data from 1,026 farmers, food processors and retailers in two commodity sectors (meat and cereals) ... -
Design and control of an axial-flux machine for a wide flux-weakening operation region
(2009)This paper describes the strategy to design and control an axial-flux (AxF) surface-mounted permanent-magnet machine for achieving a wide flux-weakening (FW) operating region. By using a slotted stator with fractional-slot ... -
Analysis and Tests of the Sensorless Rotor Position Detection of Ringed-Pole Permanent-Magnet Motor
(2014)To the aim of creating a high-frequency (HF) anisotropy in a surface-mounted PM machine conductive rings are placed around each pole such rings modify the d-axis HF impedance of the machine. A novel strategy is adopted to ... -
Application of Distributed Pressure Driven Modelling in Water Supply System
(Open Journal Systems, 2018)The simulation of Water Distribution Systems (WDSs) has a crucial role in the network analysis for system planning, network design, rehabilitation strategies and operational strategies optimization. It has been demonstrated ... -
Vacuum correlations in quantum gravity
(Springer, 1992)We give a lowest-order estimation of some invariant correlation functions of quantized Einstein gravity in any dimension N > 2. The non-perturbative evaluation of such functions would play an important role in the Monte ... -
Iron Mobilization and Mineralogical Alterations Induced by Iron-Deficient Cucumber Plants (Cucumis sativus L.) in a Calcareous Soil
(SCIENCE PRESS, 2018)Dicotyledons cope with ion (Fe) shortage by releasing low-molecular-weight organic compounds into the rhizosphere to mobilize Fe through reduction and complexation mechanisms. The effects induced by these root exudates on ... -
Arabidopsis thaliana AUCSIA-1 regulates Auxin biology and physically interacts with a kinesin-related protein
(Bozen - Bolzano University Press, 2012)Aucsia is a green plant gene family encoding 44–54 amino acids long miniproteins. The sequenced genomes of most land plants contain two Aucsia genes. RNA interference of both tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Aucsia genes ... -
Fertilization strategies as a tool to modify the organoleptic properties of raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)Raspberry cultivation is increasing all over the world, being these fruits highly appreciated not only for their taste but also for their high content in bioactive compounds. However, the short shelf-life of these fruits ... -
Design of a Low-Torque-Ripple Fractional-Slot Interior Permanent-Magnet Motor
(2014)Despite a strong nonlinear behavior and a complex design, the interior permanent-magnet (IPM) machine is proposed as a good candidate among the PM machines owing to its interesting peculiarities, i.e., higher torque in ... -
Soil amendment as a strategy for the growth of young vines when replanting vineyards in soils with high copper content
(ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 2018)Soil contamination with copper (Cu)-based agrochemicals used in vineyards for pest control is a growing problem. In this context, the application of soil amendment to limit Cu toxicity, especially for young plants after ... -
Analysis of a second-order sliding-mode algorithm in presence of input delays
(2006)In this note, a double integrator system under the action of a second-order sliding-mode control algorithm is considered, and the resulting closed-loop behavior in presence of an input delay is analysed. Due to the delay, ... -
Towards dynamics in flood risk assessment
(2012)As a consequence of flood impacts, communities inhabiting mountain areas are increasingly affected by considerable damage to infrastructure and property. The design of effective flood risk mitigation strategies and their ... -
A multi agent robotic system for simulation and control of a manufacturing process
(2011)In this work the multi-agent technology is exploited in order to develop a Multi-Agent Robotic System with the aim to simulate and control a production chain and lays the bases for the introduction of the agent technology ... -
Growth and chemical changes in the rhizosphere of black oat (Avena strigosa) grown in soils contaminated with copper
(2018)Copper based pesticides are used to protect vineyards from fungal infections. Plants like black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb) can promote chemical changes in the rhizosphere, reducing copper (Cu) bioavailability in contaminated ... -
Fast Estimation of Line-Start Reluctance Machine Parameters by Finite Element Analysis
(2011)This paper compares two methods to compute the parameters of a line-start synchronous reluctance (LSSR) machine, by means of finite element analysis. In both methods, both the impact of the skin effect on the rotor parameters ...
