Management of Fusarium wilt of tomato by bioagents, fungicides and varietal resistance

Tomato wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. l ycopersici is most important and destructive disease of tomato in Maharashtra, which causes considerable losses in yield of tomato. Therefore, present studies were undertaken to test the efficacy of eight fungicides and six bioagents in vitro and ten varieties of tomato in green house against Fusarium wilt of tomato Among the eight fungicides, Mancozeb + Carbendazim (0.125 + 0.05 %) had completely checked the growth of pathogen which inhibited 100 per cent growth of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici followed by Thiram + Carbendazim (0.15 + 0.05 %), Carbendazim (0.1 %), Thiram (0.3 %), Carboxin (0.2 %), Captan (0.25 %), Propiconazole (0.2 %), Mancozeb (0.25 %) with 93.75, 92.50, 90.00, 87.50, 81.25, 67.50 and 62.50 per cent growth inhibition over control, respectively. In vitro , the antagonistic effect of four species of Trichoderma and two bacterial bioagents were tested against this pathogen. Among the four Trichoderma species tested, Trichoderma viride recorded highest growth inhibition (85.00 %) of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici followed by T. harzianum, T. hamatum, T. koningii with 72.50, 70.00, 61.12 per cent growth inhibition over control, respectively and among two bacterial bioagents, Bacillus subtillis was found more effective than Pseudomonas fluorescens with 79.2 and 62.5 per cent growth inhibition over control. Among the ten varieties tested against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici in greenhouse, Bhagyashree and Dhanashree were found moderately resistant to wilt of tomato having 25.00 and 30.00 per cent disease incidence followed by RII-T-2, M-1-3, M-2-2, 8-1-5,NBC, 6-1, M-1-2 and RII-T1 with 55, 60, 60, 70, 70, 75, 80 and 85 per cent disease incidence, respectively.
Influence of parameters of molecular mobility on formation of structure in ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride copolymers

The low-temperature molecular mobility has been studied by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy on the bulk films of statistic copolymers of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) with tetra- (TFE) and trifluoroethylene obtained by crystallization from a solution in acetone. The results show that activation energy of the kinetic units in the glassy state depends significantly on the concentration of polar groups. The cooperative mobility above the glass transition temperature is described by Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher equation; the lowest value of the effective activation energy was found in the copolymer with highest amount of non-polar TFE content. It has been shown that the parameters of the dynamics are related to the structural parameters obtained by infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray Spectroscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering. In particular, the largest crystals and the highest value of the “large” period have been detected in VDF/TFE copolymer with lowest activation parameters of microbrownian and local mobility. Number of lamellar crystals in stacks is determined by the concentration of VDF polar groups in copolymer chain.
A new cryoprotectant formulation for the next generation of high throughput screening toxicology tests

All pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic products have to undergo rigorous toxicity testing before going to market. In the past, this was often done through testing with animals, but this approach has been in rapid decline. The alternative is testing of products for toxicity against mammalian cells in multi-well plates. This technique is very important in the pharmaceutical industry where early detection of drug toxicity can reduce the cost of bringing drugs to market. Testing against hepatocytes (liver cells) is critically important, but these cells are difficult to cryopreserve in multi-well plates. At present they have to be shipped globally in a fresh format, presenting major logistical challenges, and then used within days, often with less than ideal results in terms of cell uniformity and test reproducibility.

In CryoProtect, I will develop a means of cryopreserving cells within multi-well plates allowing them be shipped to laboratories around the world and thawed only when they are needed. In the absence of ice nucleants, aqueous cell suspensions can supercool well below the ice melting point which often results in cell death. I have already pioneered the use of feldspar as an ice nucleant in cryopreservation. However, feldspar alone is not enough to cryopreserve cells in multi-well plates. In this PoC application I propose to build on a discovery related to our work on ice nucleation by sea spray aerosol, published in Nature. We can substantially improve the ice nucleating ability of feldspar by adding ammonium ions to the solution in which cells are suspended prior to freezing (this solution is called the cryoprotectant solution) leading to enhanced survival rates of hepatocytes. This PoC grant is needed in order to optimise the composition of the new cryoprotectant formulation for specific applications, trials and testing, producing technical marketing materials, assessment of significant markets and the development of an evidence based business plan.
Implementation for the production of MV switchgear in air insulation with unified field width based on completed development research

SA 42799(2015/X) Energy Nortle sp. z o.o. conducts business activity in the scope of: — production of low-voltage switchgear (main and branch switchgear, residential and counter boards, AKPiA switchgear, lighting control boards, capacitor batteries, PW switchgear, cable and cable-measuring connectors), — design in the field of electrical and telecommunication networks and installations, — maintenance works related to the assembly and modernisation of power supply systems, periodic inspections of distribution equipment, measurement and testing of electrical networks and installations. Energy Nortle sp. z o.o. carried out and settled the research project as part of the Bon for Innovation competition. Another project is the implementation of an investment project as part of the second stage of this competition. The result of the project will be practical implementation for the production of improved technology for the construction of sN switchgear. A characteristic feature of the design solution is the unified dimensions of the curtain structure, which will translate into standardisation of the production process. The proposed technology allows you to adjust the configuration of the switchgear to the investor’s requirements without the need to disassemble the entire multi-pole switchgear. This reduces the power off time of customers, improving the reliability parameters of the power supply system. The proposed solution also raises safety standards by limiting the width of the equipment corridor regardless of the direction of the evacuation route from electric traffic spaces. As a result of the project, process innovation will also be implemented. The technology and the production process of the sN switchgear will change. Currently, during the production of switchgear, ready-made prefabricated/modules were used, which were then assembled in full depending on individual designs and expectations of customers. As a result of the implementation of the project and the purchase of a fiber laser cutting machine, the Applicant will produce modules and construction himself
An innovative microbial cell factory for natural vanillin

Vanillin is the second most expensive spice globally (€11.000/kilo) and used compound in fragrances and food industry. Over 99% of all vanillin is chemically synthesised. However, market demand for chemically synthesized vanillin is declining due to the excessive use of fossil resources and solvents that severely impact the environment. However, the production of natural vanillin is limited (<1%) due to natural disasters, the limited capacity and high costs. This shows the strong societal, industrial and environmental need for an innovative, cheap and scalable production method for natural vanillin. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a suitable alternative to produce vanillin from natural substrates; the resulting product is classified as natural vanillin under European and US food legislation. However, conventional genetic engineering methods have strong technological limitations.   
 
EV Biotech aims to revolutionize conventional biotechnology by developing an innovative microbial cell factory (MCF) strain using innovative technologies from systems biology and in silico modelling. To achieve this, EV Biotech envisions a novel molecular dynamics modelling strategy based on 3D protein simulations and computational enzyme design tools to redesign these enzymes. In fact, the development of this molecular dynamics model for proteins is critical for the overall proof-of-concept and success of BELLOSSOM. However, the team lacks a PhD-level scientist who has specialized knowledge of molecular dynamics modelling of proteins/enzymes. EV Biotech plans to exploit three business opportunities by recruiting an Innovation Associate: (1) a lack in the market for large-scale natural vanillin production methods, (2) the industrial demand for MCF with higher production rates of natural compounds, and reduced time and costs for their development, and (3) the addition of a molecular dynamics model for proteins in the production pipeline to enhance the current market position.
I Romani nel Corno d’Africa. Controllo delle vie marittime verso terre lontane e incognite

Résumé Cette contribution vise à présenter quelles étaient les relations commerciales entre le Proche-Orient et les régions orientales de l’Afrique et, en particulier, la Corne de l’Afrique. Il s’agit de liens particulièrement forts qui, inévitablement pourrait-on dire, ont conduit à des relations commerciales entre les marchands romains et les populations vivant dans ces régions. Ce sont précisément les régions d’Afrique centrale et orientale qui ont été le point de contact entre l’Occident et l’Orient, au point de devenir des bases de première importance pour les routes par lesquelles transitaient des produits de toutes sortes (des denrées alimentaires autant que des tissus précieux) avec les Indes.
Decision-making tool for the assessment and selection of construction processes based on environmental criteria: Application to precast and cast-in-situ alternatives

This paper presents a quantitative environmental impact assessment tool for the decision making of construction processes including structures, infrastructures and buildings by means of an Environmental Impact Index (EII) to be applied at design and/or construction stages. The research is based on multi-attribute utility theory, interviews with experts representatives of the different stakeholders in construction, and an analysis of fifty-nine European and Spanish environmental legislative acts. The resulting tool was applied to two construction alternatives for road drains (one precast and one cast-in-place). The findings show that the tool enables the prioritisation of construction processes and the selection of the best alternative in terms of environmental impact and that the results are stable to reasonable weight variations. The tool contributes to decision making in the context of project management in construction: it can help professionals in public administration, and design and construction companies. It helps to quantify the cradle-to-gate impact of construction work, which has usually been less studied than the operational impact in the life-cycle assessment of buildings. The tool is being piloted in construction projects of the Barcelona City Council.

Ground-Breaking perovskite technologies for advanced x-ray medical imaging systems

The PEROXIS project will develop a new X-ray imaging system with higher sensitivity and spatial resolution compared to conventional ones, which will support diagnosis during intervention and treatments of various diseases.
The emerging semiconducting perovskite materials, largely used for photovoltaic applications, are a good candidate since they have the potential to globally address the following ambitious objectives:
-Advancing X-ray based imaging systems for advanced diagnostics and treatments of two major diseases: cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
-Improving the efficiency and spatial resolution of flat panel X-ray detectors
-Groundbreaking perovskite-based direct conversion X-ray imaging detectors for large-area compatibility
-Validating the feasibility of phase contrast imaging for earlier detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
PEROXIS is a multidisciplinary project engaging 7 EU partners from 4 countries (France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands) covering the academic, RTO and industrial (3 major medical equipment manufacturers) worlds. An implementation plan is presented in the form of 8 work packages, 6 of which are technical in nature. Synergy in communication and dissemination by the several partners and stakeholders (external advisory board mainly composed of physicians who provide letters of intent) will permit to maximize the PEROXIS project impact.
Both solutions to overcome the fundamental technological barriers as well as appropriate deliverables, tasks, milestones and risks in order to complete the project objectives in due time are presented. The medical sector will be highly impacted by the PEROXIS project outcome: future applications of an improved PEROXIS imaging system will not be limited to COPD and CVD only, but may be extended to various other clinical domains in which the performance of diagnostic driven therapy systems is limited by current flat panel X-ray detector technology.
Detecting Implicit Expressions of Affect from Text using Semantic Knowledge on Common Concept Properties

Emotions are an important part of the human experience. They are responsible for the adaptation and integration in the environment, offering, most of the time together with the cognitive system, the appropriate responses to stimuli in the environment. As such, they are an important component in decision-making processes. In today’s society, the avalanche of stimuli present in the environment (physical or virtual) makes people more prone to respond to stronger affective stimuli (i.e., those that are related to their basic needs and motivations ― survival, food, shelter, etc.). In media reporting, this is translated in the use of arguments (factual data) that are known to trigger specific (strong, affective) behavioural reactions from the readers. This paper describes initial efforts to detect such arguments from text, based on the properties of concepts. The final system able to retrieve and label this type of data from the news in traditional and social platforms is intended to be integrated Europe Media Monitor family of applications to detect texts that trigger certain (especially negative) reactions from the public, with consequences on citizen safety and security.
Catching–Up along the global value chain: models, determinants and policy implications in the era of the fourth industrial revolution

Catching-Up along the global value chain: business models, determinants and policy implications in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (CatChain) is a project built on a multidisciplinary and multi-sectorial exchange program focused on unravelling the process of Catching-Up from different sectorial perspectives at a country level. It analyses the role of business models (BMs) in entering, learning and upgrading the Global Value Chain (GVC), aiming at recognising the determinants and challenges faced by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in tackling the process of upgrading in a globalising economy. The outcome of the project will be the definition of policy tools and frameworks to support effective policy-making actions in the implementation of Research and Innovation Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3), with respect to the new agenda of Europe 2020, mainly for low-income EU countries.
The main aims of the project are:
1.to identify: if and how a country should focus on developing domestic trade networks and upgrading before entering into GVCs; whether it should improve its infrastructures in regional value chains implementing the RIS3 strategy for its economic transformation;
2.to study the emerging BMs underpinning the successful entry, learning, and upgrading in GVCs, after the investigation and valuation of case studies in different sectors and countries;
3.to isolate the conditions that define the preferable entry strategy;
4.to recognise the policy framework that facilitates entries and supports SMEs in developing a profitable business strategy.  
To give robust scientific answers to the question of whether entering GVCs by sponsoring one large national firm or a set of small and dynamic enterprises, CatChain intends to bridge the Catching-Up approach with the GVCs literature, paying attention to the role that entry, learning and upgrading strategies – integrated with BMs, play in fostering a process of country-level catching-up in distinct sectors.
Studying (De-)Politicization of the EU from a Citizens Point of View: A New Comparative Focus Group Study

Alors que la politisation de l'UE a été de plus en plus étudiée ces dernières années, l’analyse s'est principalement concentrée sur les partis politiques et les médias. Ainsi, les études de la politisation de l'UE chez les individus, sans être absentes, restent rares. Cet article présente un nouveau set de données qualitatives de 21 groupes de discussion dans quatre pays européens et avec des profils sociaux variés, permettant d’étudier les processus de (dé)politisation au niveau des citoyens, la manière dont ils parlent de l'UE et les clivages qui structurent leurs attitudes. Cette recherche comparative offre un nouvel éclairage sur les discours et les opinions sur l'Europe, les mécanismes de politisation et les discussions politiques.
LA A23 SI RACCONTA: UNA VOCE PER CHI INSEGNA NELLA CLASSE DI CONCORSO DI LINGUA ITALIANA PER DISCENTI DI LINGUA STRANIERA

Malgrado la creazione della classe di concorso A23 abbia rappresentato un riconoscimento istituzionale per l’italiano L2 nella scuola, sembra che rispetto a quanto atteso ben poco sia cambiato. Infatti, pur essendo gli unici insegnanti della scuola italiana che sulla base di titoli ed esperienza possono essere considerati competenti in italiano L2, le e i docenti A23 costituiscono una piccola minoranza del corpo docente in servizio e sono stati assegnati esclusivamente ai CPIA. Visto che i CPIA sono l’unica scuola in cui al momento le e i docenti A23 lavorano, l’evento A023: un confronto di esperienze organizzato in occasione di FIERIDA 2021 è stata un’importante occasione che ha permesso di sondare l’attuale situazione di questa classe di concorso. L’iniziativa, inoltre, oltre a evidenziare problemi e criticità, ha permesso la condivisione di buone pratiche e la proposta di azioni costruttive. Dopo una breve presentazione di FIERIDA e di A023: un confronto di esperienze, il contributo si propone di fare un punto sul ruolo che le e i docenti A23 hanno nei CPIA attraverso le dichiarazioni rilasciate nel corso dell’iniziativa. Sempre grazie alle osservazioni fatte dalla platea partecipante, sono presentate una serie di proposte attuabili e concrete per un migliore impiego della professionalità di questi docenti nei CPIA e nelle scuole secondarie di primo e secondo grado.&#x0D; &#x0D; A23 tells her story: a voice for those who teach Italian language for foreign language learners&#x0D; Although the recruitment of A23 teachers (Lingua italiana per discenti di lingua straniera) can be considered a key moment for the institutional recognition for Italian L2 in school, it seems that very few things have changed compared to what was expected. In fact, even if since the school year 2017/2018 teachers that had successfully completed a structured course on teaching Italian as a second language have been included in the Italian public-school staff, nowadays it is evident that A23 teachers constitute a small minority of the teaching staff in service and have been assigned exclusively to the CPIA. Since the CPIAs are the only school where the A23 teachers currently work, the webinar “A023: un confronto di esperienze” organized during FIERIDA 2021 was an important opportunity that allowed to probe the current situation of these teachers. The webinar not only highlighted problems and criticalities, but also allowed the sharing of good practices and the proposal of constructive actions. After having briefly described FIERIDA and the aims and structure of the webinar, this paper focuses on the role that A23 teachers have in the CPIA. Furthermore, thanks to the observations made by the participating audience, in the second part of the paper we present a series of feasible and concrete proposals aimed to improve the quality of Italian L2 teaching in CPIA.
Time - Whole - Openness Relation in Cinema and the Philosophy of Modern Cinema

The main question of this paper – how the forking of the time into three streams - the presence of the past, the presence of presence and the presence of the future which is possible to be reflected in the classical philosophy (Augustine, Leibnic, Bergson), in phenomenology (Husserl, MerleauPonty), in literature (Borges, Proust), is structuring itself in the cinema and in the philosophy of modern cinema. The article investigates some trajectories of this bifurcation: Tarkovsky‘s imprinted time, apocalyptic time and its turn into the crystals of time in the philosophy of cinema of Gilles Deleuze. Keywords: forking of time, imprinted time, crystals of time. DOI:  http://dx.doi.org/10.15823/zz.2014.028
