Atmospheric nitrogen fixation by gliricidia trees (Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp.) intercropped with cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.)
(2018)Aims: The objective was to estimate the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (Ndfa) by legume (Gliricidia sepium) trees for the benefit of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) trees in agroforestry systems. Methods: Four sites where cocoa ... -
Design of a test for the electromagnetic coupling of non-local wavefunctions
(2019)It has recently been proven that certain effective wavefunctions in fractional quantum mechanics and condensed matter do not have a locally conserved current; as a consequence, their coupling to the electromagnetic field ... -
Channel changes of the adige river (Eastern Italian Alps) over the last 1000 years and identification of the historical fluvial corridor
(2018)A 1:50,000-scale geomorphological map of the Adige/Etsch River valley bottom (NE Italy) is presented. The study area is 115 km long, and it extends between the villages of Merano/ Meran and Calliano, including also the ... -
Station-keeping control of an unmanned surface vehicle exposed to current and wind disturbances
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)Field trials of a 4 m long, 180 kg, unmanned surface vehicle (USV) have been conducted to evaluate the performance of station-keeping heading and position controllers in an outdoor marine environment disturbed by wind and ... -
Resolution-adaptive risk-aware trajectory planning for surface vehicles operating in congested civilian traffic
(2016)The growing variety and complexity of marine research and application oriented tasks requires unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to operate fully autonomously over long time horizons even in environments with significant ... -
Disambiguation of Isomeric Procyanidins with Cyclic B-Type and Non-cyclic A-Type Structures from Wine and Peanut Skin with HPLC-HDX-HRMS/MS
(2018)Hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry was successfully applied for the identification of A-type tetrameric, pentameric, and hexameric procyanidins in peanut skin. This extended a previous ... -
UV-Denaturation Assay to Assess Protein Photostability and Ligand-Binding Interactions Using the High Photon Flux of Diamond B23 Beamline for SRCD
(2018)Light irradiation with high photon flux in the vacuum and far-UV region is known to denature the conformation of biopolymers. Measures are in place at Diamond Light Source B23 beamline for Synchrotron Radiation Circular ... -
Impacts of nitrogen addition on plant species richness and abundance: A global meta-analysis
(2018)Aim Experimental nitrogen (N) addition (fertilization) studies are commonly used to quantify the impacts of increased N inputs on plant biodiversity. However, as plant community responses can vary considerably among ... -
Volatile, phenolic and sensory profile of in-amphorae Chardonnay wine by mass spectrometry and chemometric analysis
(2018)The sensory properties, the phenolic composition, and the volatile profile of Chardonnay wine made in amphorae were compared with the wine obtained in large wooden barrels (2000 L) and small toasted barrels (225 L). ... -
Household food waste dehydration technique as a pre-treatment method for food waste minimisation
(2016)The results of the examination of the physicochemical characteristics of domestic food waste (DFW) pretreated with the domestic food waste drying method are presented within this research. Domestic waste drying is considered ... -
Isotopic Exchange HPLC-HRMS/MS Applied to Cyclic Proanthocyanidins in Wine and Cranberries
(2018)Cyclic B-type proanthocyanidins in red wines and grapes have been discovered recently. However, proanthocyanidins of a different chemical structure (non-cyclic A-type proanthocyanidins) already known to be present in ... -
Utilization of biomass gasification by-products for onsite energy production
(2016)Small scale biomass gasification is a sector with growth and increasing applications owing to the environmental goals of the European Union and the incentivized policies of most European countries. This study addresses two ... -
Congestion avoiding heuristic path generation for the proactive route guidance
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)The benefits in reducing traffic congestion of system optimum with respect to user equilibrium traffic assignments are well-known. Recently a linear programming based approach was proposed that aims at achieving a compromise ... -
Temporal shifts in endophyte bacterial community composition of sessile oak (Quercus petraea) are linked to foliar nitrogen, stomatal length, and herbivory
(2018)We studied the relationship between plant functional foliar traits and the endophytic bacterial communities associated in trees, taking the example of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl). Forty-five samples with ... -
Selective binding of potassium and calcium ions to novel cyclic proanthocyanidins in wine by high-performance liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry
(2018)Rationale: Cyclic B-type (referred also as crown) proanthocyanidins (PACs) were recently identified in wines. A high-performance liquid chromatography/high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/HRMS/MS) method was ... -
Combination of decentralized waste drying and SSF techniques for household biowaste minimization and ethanol production
(2016)The results of the demonstration of an innovative household biowaste management and treatment scheme established in two Greek Municipalities for the production of lignocellulosic ethanol using dehydrated household biowaste ... -
Monitoring of glucose in beer brewing by a carbon nanotubes based nylon nanofibrous biosensor
(2016)This work presents the design, preparation and characterization of a novel glucose electrochemical biosensor based on the immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOX) into a nylon nanofibrous membrane (NFM) prepared by ... -
Are Two Better Than One? A New Approach for Multidentate Grafting of Peptides to a Gold Substrate
(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2016)Multidentate binding of two helical hexapeptides to a gold surface was obtained by introducing in the peptide chain a non ribosomial amino acid, i.e. the 4-amino-1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxylic acid (Adt) residue, a ... -
Effects of the Addition of Spray-Dried Whey on the Stability of Fat-Reduced Mayonnaise-Type Emulsions During Storage
(WILEY, 2018)The applicability of the spray-dried whey for the production of reduced-calorie mayonnaise-type emulsions was studied. Whey was used as a stabilizing/emulsifying agent and as a fat-replacement component. Whey powder was ...
