The Vf gene from the wild species Malus floribunda 821 is most studied apple scab resistance gene. Several molecular markers mapping around this were starting point for a positional cloning project. analysis of bacterial artificial chromosome clones spanning region led to identification cluster genes homologous Cladosporium fulvum family tomato. One these genes, HcrVf2 (homologue C. region), was used transform susceptible cultivar Gala. Four independent transformed lines resistant produced,...
Rice is the most important food security crop in Asia. Information on its seasonal extent forms part of national accounting many Asian countries. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery highly suitable for detecting lowland rice, especially tropical and subtropical regions, where pervasive cloud cover rainy seasons precludes use optical imagery. Here, we present a simple, robust, rule-based classification mapping rice area with regularly acquired, multi-temporal, X-band, HH-polarized SAR...
This paper presents and evaluates multitemporal LAI estimates derived from Sentinel-2A data on rice cultivated area identified using time series of Sentinel-1A images over the main European districts for 2016 crop season. study combines information conveyed by into a high-resolution retrieval chain. Rice was detected an operational multi-temporal rule-based algorithm, were obtained inverting PROSAIL radiative transfer model with Gaussian process regression. Direct validation performed in...
A rice yield estimation system was developed based on the crop growth model ORYZA and SAR-derived key information such as start of season (SOS) leaf area rate. Results from study sites in South South-east Asian countries suggest that incorporating remote sensing data, specifically Synthetic aperture radar (SAR), into a process-based improves spatial distribution estimates. This article highlights detailed methodology SAR data incorporation simulation comprehensive validation forecast...
Recently, methanol has gained increasing attention thanks to the variety of feedstocks suitable for its production and low environmental impact granting molecule a key role in future economic roadmaps as Olah's development model. Nowadays, fossil sources are not exclusive produce syngas: biogas is promising alternative, leading less severe operating conditions smaller plant scales. The most widespread kinetic models synthesis, namely, Graaf Vanden Bussche–Froment models, will be proven fully...
Different rice crop information can be derived from different remote sensing sources to provide for decision making and policies related agricultural production food security. The objective of this study is generate complementary comprehensive hypertemporal optical multitemporal high-resolution SAR imagery. We demonstrate the use MODIS data rice-based system characterization X-band TerraSAR-X CosmoSkyMed identification detailed mapping areas flooding/transplanting dates. was classified using...
The ERMES agromonitoring system for rice cultivations integrates EO data at different resolutions, crop models, and user-provided in situ a unified system, which drives two operational downstream services monitoring. first is aimed providing information concerning the behavior of current season regional/rice district scale, while second dedicated to provide farmers with field-scale useful support more efficient environmentally friendly practices. In this contribution, we describe main...
Active food packaging technology encompasses systems that incorporate active substances into the polymeric matrix. The embedded components exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant properties and are able to absorb or reduce oxygen, carbon dioxide ethylene, thereby enhancing quality safety of products. utilization 2D nanomaterials, such as graphene, has facilitated advent novel avenues for advancement (AP). integration these materials with polymers potential enhance barrier, thermal,...
Asian countries strongly depend on rice production for food security. The major rice-growing season (June to October) is highly exposed the risk of tropical storm related damage. Unbiased and transparent approaches assess crop damage are essential support mitigation disaster response strategies in region. This study describes demonstrates a method rapid, pre-event status assessment. ex-post test case Typhoon Haiyan its impact Leyte Province Philippines. A synthetic aperture radar (SAR)...
Abstract. Rice is the most important cereal crop governing food security in Asia. Reliable and regular information on area under rice production basis of policy decisions related to imports, exports prices which directly affect security. Recent planned launches SAR sensors coupled with automated processing can provide sustainable solutions challenges mapping monitoring systems. High resolution (3m) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imageries were used map monitor growing areas selected three...
Rice mapping products were derived from Sentinel-1A and Landsat-8 OLI multi-temporal imagery over Northern Italy at the early stages of 2015 growing season. A rule-based algorithm was applied to synthetic statistical metrics (TSDs-Temporal Spectra Descriptors) computed temporal datasets optical spectral indices SAR backscattering coefficient. Temporal series are available up tillering/full canopy cover stage which is identified as optimum timing for delivering in-season information on rice...
Reliable and regular rice information is essential part of many countries' national accounting process but the existing system may not be sufficient to meet demand in context food security policy. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery highly suitable for detecting lowland paddy rice, especially tropical region where pervasive cloud cover rainy seasons limits use optical imagery. This study uses multi-temporal X-band C-band SAR imagery, automated image processing, rule-based classification...
From a strategic and an economic point of view, patent prior art searches are very useful for several reasons such as avoiding the infringement third parties’ rights, reinventing something already new in state art, speeding up prosecution application, getting granted with lower associated cost. A search is carried out databases (free charge or fee-based) through keywords classification symbols, indexing codes (IPC – International Patent Classification CPC Cooperative...
The mixed plastic waste problem is becoming an important issue in scientific and technological communities light of the environmental pollution caused by its poorly management.In this paper a new efficient thermo-catalytic pathway to convert into methanol presented key features global yields.The process has been mainly developed silico using Aspen HYSYS V10 with support from experimental data where simulation could not provide reliable information such as gasification step.Consolidated...
