Association with the Syndrome "Basses Richesses" of Sugar Beet of a Phytoplasma and a Bacterium-Like Organism Transmitted by a Pentastiridius sp.

2002

The syndrome “basses richesses” of sugar beet (SBR) was first observed in 1991 in Burgundy, France. A cixiid planthopper, Pentastiridius beieri, has been proved to be involved in the transmission to sugar beet of a stolbur phytoplasma, which could be detected in some affected plants. In 2000, periwinkle and sugar beet exposed to field-collected cixiids developed symptoms similar to SBR on sugar beet. Use of 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the presence of phytoplasma in some of the plants, which were also positive for this pathogen in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. A phloem-restricted gram-negative bacteria was seen i…

Valoración de la regeneración ósea en un modelo animal: Utilización del plasma rico en plaquetas en la curación de los defectos óseos. Estudio prelim…

2007

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los factores de crecimiento y otras moléculas con capacidad osteoinductora pueden considerarse biomateriales que poseen actividad importante en los procesos de reparación y regeneración de los seres vivos. Esta capacidad puede utilizarse para favorecer, asegurar y aumentar lo procesos de reparación del tejido óseo. En esta tesis doctoral se realiza el estudio de la aplicación aislada en un defecto óseo, de un compuesto rico en plaquetas y factores de crecimiento, el plasma rico en plaquetas (PRP).MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Hemos realizado un estudio experimental prospectivo, comparativo bilateral y controlado, interviniendo quirúrgicamente 30 conejos raza Nueva Zelanda, a los que se p…

Fast Green’s Function Method for Ultrafast Electron-Boson Dynamics

2020

The interaction of electrons with quantized phonons and photons underlies the ultrafast dynamics of systems ranging from molecules to solids, and it gives rise to a plethora of physical phenomena experimentally accessible using time-resolved techniques. Green's function methods offer an invaluable interpretation tool since scattering mechanisms of growing complexity can be selectively incorporated in the theory. Currently, however, real-time Green's function simulations are either prohibitively expensive due to the cubic scaling with the propagation time or do neglect the feedback of electrons on the bosons, thus violating energy conservation. We put forward a computationally efficient Gree…

The sensitivity of buckwheat plants to pathogens under conditions of mixed viral and mycoplasmal infection

2016

It was investigated, that mixed infection of buckwheat distributed in various ecological regions of Ukraine, the pathogens that belong to different taxonomic groups have different and peculiar morphological and structural properties. First was shown that buckwheat is affected by buckwheat burn virus (BBV) together with Mycoplasma. Mixed infection leads to proliferation of sepals, clarification of the flowers petals, reduction and greening of petals, hypoplasia or hypodevelopment of stamens and pistils: all of this can lead to partial or complete sterility.

Computer vision and thermal monitoring of HMPE fibre rope condition during CBOS testing

2020

Abstract Fibre rope usage in deep sea lifting operations is gaining more prominence in recent times. With rope minimum break loads (MBL) comparable to that of their steel wire counterparts, the use of high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) ropes is seen as a viable option for use in subsea construction cranes. The ropes are worn out during use and visual inspection remains one of the main methods of determining whether a fibre rope is to be retired from use, therefore a natural extension is condition monitoring through computer vision. Creep and temperature are constraining with HMPE ropes and should be monitored continuously, particularly when the rope is cyclically bent over sheaves. Additional…

Structural assessment of the EU-DEMO WCLL Central Outboard Blanket segment under normal and off-normal operating conditions

2021

Abstract Within the framework of the EUROfusion design activities concerning the EU-DEMO Breeding Blanket (BB) system, a research campaign has been carried out at the University of Palermo with the aim of investigating the structural behaviour of the DEMO Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) Central Outboard Blanket (COB) segment. The assessment has been performed considering three different loading scenarios: the Normal Operation (NO), the Over-Pressurization (OP) and the Upward Vertical Displacement Event (VDE-up). In particular, NO scenario represents the loading case referring to the nominal operating conditions, whereas the OP scenario refers to the loading conditions due to an in-box LOCA…

Efecto del polimorfismo de la apolipoproteína E en el perfil lipoproteico y riesgo cardiovascular en una población mediterránea

2002

Fundamento La asociacion de las variantes comunes del gen de la apolipoproteina E (apo E)con arteriosclerosis varia segun las poblaciones. Nuestro objetivo fue estimar la asociacion entreestas variantes geneticas (alelos e2, e3 y e4) con las concentraciones de lipidos plasmaticosy el riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV) en una poblacion mediterranea espanola. Pacientes y metodo Se ha realizado un estudio transversal en 486 individuos (144 varones y342 mujeres) procedentes de poblacion general mediterranea (7-85 anos). Se determino el genotipode la apo E y variables antropometricas, bioquimicas y del estilo de vida. Resultados La frecuencia alelica para e2 y e4 fue baja (0,052; interval…

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydroxyethyl starch in hypovolemic pigs; a comparison of peripheral and intraosseous infusion.

1999

Intraosseous (i.o.) infusion is considered a useful technique for the administration of medications and fluids in emergency situations when peripheral intravascular access is not possible. This study investigated the effectiveness of i.o. versus intravenous (i.v.) infusion of hydroxyethyl starch (HES 200/0.5) in hypovolemic pigs. Twenty-three pigs (8- to 9-week-old) were anaesthesized, instrumented and blood was withdrawn (25-30 ml/kg) to50 mmHg mean arterial pressure (MAP). The animals were left untreated in haemorrhage for 30 min. Relevant haemodynamic parameters were monitored and blood samples were collected for blood gas and HES concentration analysis. Infusion of HES via i.v. or i.o. …

Morphological similarities between DBM and an economic geography model of city growth

2009

International audience; An urban microeconomic model of households evolving in a 2Dcellular automata allows to simulate the growth of a metropolitan area whereland is devoted to housing, road network and agricultural/green areas. Thissystem is self-organised: based on individualistic decisions of economic agentswho compete on the land market, the model generates a metropolitan area withhouses, roads, and agriculture. Several simulation are performed. The resultsshow strong similarities with physical Dieletric breackdown models (DBM). Inparticular, phase transitions in the urban morphology occur when a controlparameter reaches critical values. Population density in our model and theelectric …
