Effects of Steinernema carpocapsae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) on biological parameters of larvae responses of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera…
2013
Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) known as the Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is becoming more and more of a problem in Italy, and especially in Sicily, where it is well adapted. The infestations are mainly in the urban areas, and for that reason, chemical control is not advisable. Data from literature show that entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) particularly Steirnenema carpocapsae, have a quite successfully control of RPW. However, results coming from the laboratories are often in contrast with each other and no data are available on precise doses and S. carpocapsae seems not be able to reproduce itself in the host. The effect of EPN on the RPW immune system is totally unknown. D…
Religiöse Haltung und politische Moral im Werk des exilierten deutsch-iranischen Autors SAID
2022
Ein ‚Weltbürger ohne ein eigenes Fenster’ - so bezeichnete sich selbst SAID, einer der wichtigsten zeitgenössischen iranischen Autoren, der seit langer Zeit in Deutschland lebte und publizierte. Obwohl Politik und Exil, zusammen mit Liebe und Religion, die zentralen Themenfelder seines literarischen Schaffens waren, verstand er sich nicht als politischer Autor. Vielmehr sah er sich als Augenmenschen, der die Realität aufmerksam beobachtete und mit seinen Werken das Gewissen seiner Leser in Bezug auf die schon lange andauernde politische und religiöse Unterdrückung im Iran aufrütteln wollte. Da gerade die Religion seit einigen Jahren SAIDs Lieblingsthema war, fokussiert sich der Beitrag auf …
Un salteri català del segle XV perdut
2014
El Salteri de la Seu de València no es una obra completa, sinó que va estar restaurat al segle XIX a partir de diferents versions d’aquest text bíblic, una de les qual és perduda a hores d’ara. Gràcies a aquest procés de restauració, en tenim notícia i el conservem, en part. El procés de restauració va tenir lloc l’any 1820 i va estar supervisat per Onofre Soler i Rubio, el canonge arxiver, que havia estat rector de la Universitat de València anys abans i que ho tornaria a ser després d’aquest episodi. The Psalter of the Cathedral of Valencia is not a complete work, but was restored in the nineteenth century from different versions of the biblical text, one of which is lost by now. With thi…
Network-Assisted Resource Allocation with Quality and Conflict Constraints for V2V Communications
2018
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has recently established in Rel. 14 a network-assisted resource allocation scheme for vehicular broadcast communications. Such novel paradigm is known as vehicle--to--vehicle (V2V) \textit{mode-3} and consists in eNodeBs engaging only in the distribution of sidelink subchannels among vehicles in coverage. Thereupon, without further intervention of the former, vehicles will broadcast their respective signals directly to their counterparts. Because the allotment of subchannels takes place intermittently to reduce signaling, it must primarily be conflict-free in order not to jeopardize the reception of signals. We have identified four pivotal types…
Spirulina reduces diet-induced obesity through downregulation of lipogenic genes expression in Psammomys obesus
2020
The present study evaluates the protective effect of spirulina against diet-induced obesity and metabolic disorders in Psammomys obesus, an animal model of metabolic syndrome. Psammomys obesus live...
Paracrobeles psammophilus sp. nov. (Nematoda: Cephalobidae) from El Saler, Valencia (Spain)
1999
Paracrobeles psammophilus sp. nov. (Nematoda: Cephalobidae) is described from soil of the Dehesa de El Saler (province of Valencia, Spain). This is the second record of a species of the genus Paracrobeles Heyns, 1968. The new species is characterized by rounded cheilorhabdions and the large spicules and gubernaculum of males.
Frequentist and Bayesian approaches for a joint model for prostate cancer risk and longitudinal prostate-specific antigen data
2015
The paper describes the use of frequentist and Bayesian shared-parameter joint models of longitudinal measurements of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the risk of prostate cancer (PCa). The motivating dataset corresponds to the screening arm of the Spanish branch of the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer study. The results show that PSA is highly associated with the risk of being diagnosed with PCa and that there is an age-varying effect of PSA on PCa risk. Both the frequentist and Bayesian paradigms produced very close parameter estimates and subsequent 95% confidence and credibility intervals. Dynamic estimations of disease-free probabilities obtained using Bayesian infe…

1999
In this note, we present a scheme for tightening 0–1 knapsack constraints based on other knapsack constraints surrogating.
The genus Pterocephalus (Dipsacaceae) in Morocco
1999
In Morocco the genus Pterocephalus ADANS. (Dipsacaceae) is represented by two species: Pterocephalus depressus COSSON & BALANSA, endemic in the Grand Atlas and Pterocephalus kunkelianus PERIS, ROMO & STUBING sp. nova, endemic in the central part of the Rif mountains. Information on the nomenclature, morphology, ecology and distribution of both taxa in Morocco is given here and original illustrations are also included. In Marokko wird die Gattung Pterocephalus ADANS. (Dipsacaceae) durch zwei Arten vertreten: Pterocephalus depressus COSSON & BALANSA, endemisch im Grosen Atlas, und Pterocephalus kunkelianus PERIS, ROMO & STUBING sp. nova, endemisch im zentralen Rif-Gebirge.

On Utilizing Stochastic Non-linear Fractional Bin Packing to Resolve Distributed Web Crawling
2014
This paper deals with the extremely pertinent problem of web crawling, which is far from trivial considering the magnitude and all-pervasive nature of the World-Wide Web. While numerous AI tools can be used to deal with this task, in this paper we map the problem onto the combinatorially-hard stochastic non-linear fractional knapsack problem, which, in turn, is then solved using Learning Automata (LA). Such LA-based solutions have been recently shown to outperform previous state-of-the-art approaches to resource allocation in Web monitoring. However, the ever growing deployment of distributed systems raises the need for solutions that cope with a distributed setting. In this paper, we prese…
