Salinity and Bacterial Diversity: To What Extent Does the Concentration of Salt Affect the Bacterial Community in a Saline Soil?

2014

In this study, the evaluation of soil characteristics was coupled with a pyrosequencing analysis of the V2-V3 16S rRNA gene region in order to investigate the bacterial community structure and diversity in the A horizon of a natural saline soil located in Sicily (Italy). The main aim of the research was to assess the organisation and diversity of microbial taxa using a spatial scale that revealed physical and chemical heterogeneity of the habitat under investigation. The results provided information on the type of distribution of different bacterial groups as a function of spatial gradients of soil salinity and pH. The analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA showed differences in bacterial compositi…

Efficient and Lightweight Data Integrity Check in In-Networking Storage Wireless Sensor Networks

2009

In In-networking storage Wireless Sensor Networks, sensed data are stored locally for a long term and retrieved on-demand instead of real-time. To maximize data survival, the sensed data are normally distributively stored at multiple nearby nodes. It arises a problem that how to check and grantee data integrity of distributed data storage in the context of resource constraints. In this paper, a technique called Two Granularity Linear Code (TGLC) that consists of Intra-codes and Inter-codes is presented. An efficient and lightweight data integrity check scheme based on TGLC is proposed. Data integrity can be checked by any one who holds short Inter-codes, and the checking credentials is shor…

Repozytorium instytucjonalne wobec Zintegrowanego Systemu Informacji o Nauce i Szkolnictwie Wyższym

2017

W artykule przedstawiono doświadczenia Biblioteki Głównej Uniwersytetu Opolskiego w tworzeniu instytucjonalnego repozytorium opartego na wcześniej funkcjonującym systemie ewidencji publikacji. Lokalnie gromadzone dane o publikacjach przekazywane są następnie, na podstawie obowiązujących aktów normatywnych regulujących System Informacji o Nauce, do ministerialnych systemów teleinformatycznych. W tekście omówiono również problemy związane z gromadzeniem i przekazywaniem danych o publikacjach do Modułu Sprawozdawczego Polskiej Bibliografii Naukowej, jednego z modułów Zintegrowanego Systemu Informacji o Nauce i Szkolnictwie Wyższym.

Current bioinformatics tools in genomic biomedical research (Review).

2006

On the advent of a completely assembled human genome, modern biology and molecular medicine stepped into an era of increasingly rich sequence database information and high-throughput genomic analysis. However, as sequence entries in the major genomic databases currently rise exponentially, the gap between available, deposited sequence data and analysis by means of conventional molecular biology is rapidly widening, making new approaches of high-throughput genomic analysis necessary. At present, the only effective way to keep abreast of the dramatic increase in sequence and related information is to apply biocomputational approaches. Thus, over recent years, the field of bioinformatics has r…

Healthcare trajectory mining by combining multidimensional component and itemsets

2012

Sequential pattern mining is aimed at extracting correlations among temporal data. Many different methods were proposed to either enumerate sequences of set valued data (i.e., itemsets) or sequences containing multidimensional items. However, in real-world scenarios, data sequences are described as events of both multidimensional items and set valued information. These rich heterogeneous descriptions cannot be exploited by traditional approaches. For example, in healthcare domain, hospitalizations are defined as sequences of multi-dimensional attributes (e.g. Hospital or Diagnosis) associated with two sets, set of medical procedures (e.g. $ \lbrace $ Radiography, Appendectomy $\rbrace$) and…

Experimental Performance Evaluation of Cloud-Based Analytics-as-a-Service

2016

An increasing number of Analytics-as-a-Service solutions has recently seen the light, in the landscape of cloud-based services. These services allow flexible composition of compute and storage components, that create powerful data ingestion and processing pipelines. This work is a first attempt at an experimental evaluation of analytic application performance executed using a wide range of storage service configurations. We present an intuitive notion of data locality, that we use as a proxy to rank different service compositions in terms of expected performance. Through an empirical analysis, we dissect the performance achieved by analytic workloads and unveil problems due to the impedance…

Essential Oils as Nematicides in Plant Protection-A Review

2023

By 2030, the European Commission intends to halve chemical pesticide use and its consequent risks. Among pesticides, nematicides are chemical agents used to control parasitic roundworms in agriculture. In recent decades, researchers have been looking for more sustainable alternatives with the same effectiveness but a limited impact on the environment and ecosystems. Essential oils (EOs) are similar bioactive compounds and potential substitutes. Different studies on the use of EOs as nematicides are available in the Scopus database in the scientific literature. These works show a wider exploration of EO effects in vitro than in vivo on different nematode populations. Nevertheless, a review o…

L'isola delle cento leggende

2022

L’isola delle cento leggende. Così Andrea Pittiruti presenta, al pubblico televisivo della RAI nel 1962, Ustica, nuovo approdo del turismo internazionale. Un documentario che ripercorre la storia dell’isola, dall’originario insediamento fenicio alla prima colonizzazione del XIII sec., dalle scorribande saracene al 19 maggio 1961 giorno in cui si chiude la triste parentesi del confino politico (attivo dal 1926). Le ricerche e le esperienze didattiche del Laboratorio di Visual e Graphic Design e Web Design, corso integrato del Corso di laurea magistrale in Design e Cultura del Territorio, nel Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, dal 2018 al 2021 esplorano quest…

Mobile agent application fields

2004

Publisher Summary Mobile agents are a recent paradigm for software design, which extends object oriented programming features. An agent can perform its task autonomously; a mobile agent can carry out complex tasks that require the agent to migrate from a network place to another one. Mobile agent application fields are many. It can replace web services in other cases, mobile agents and web services can be an effective solution together. The chapter discusses the three mobile agent application fields, which are: parallel and distributed computing, data mining and information retrieval, and networking. An overview of the development platforms is also discussed. Data mining and information ret…
