For all known major apple scab resistance genes except Vr, molecular markers have been published. However, the precise position of some these genes, in genome, remains to be identified. Knowledge about relative is necessary preliminarily evaluate probability success their pyramidization. Pyramidization different into same genotype a reliable way create cultivars with durable resistance. Applying genome scanning approach (GSA), we identified linkage group gene Vm, derived from Malus...
Apple scab, caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis , is major production constraint in temperate zones with humid springs. Normally, its control relies on frequent and regular fungicide applications. Because this strategy has come under increasing criticism, efforts are being directed toward breeding of scab-resistant apple cultivars. Modern programs include use molecular markers, making it possible to combine several different scab-resistance genes 1 cultivar (pyramiding) speed up...
Summary Healthcare systems are increasingly exploiting the advantages of Internet Things technologies: cloud-connected devices with perceptive sensors can gather very accurate health data from people even if they do not get to hospital or private clinics. For potential innovators new medical IoT devices, legal framework applicable was until now limited application General Data Protection Regulation and Medical Devices Regulation. This paper will investigate what happen when IoT-generated...
Fruit quality is one of the main bottlenecks for apricot consumers. Despite relevance phenotyping during field evaluation phase in breeding programmes, molecular bases fruit have been poorly investigated. The identification genomic regions involved traits can be pursued by joining phenotypic data with a molecular-based approach. related QTL definition offers opportunity to optimize programmes introducing an early marker assisted selection (MAS), and identify candidate genes these traits....
Deep learning models are nowadays broadly deployed to solve an incredibly large variety of tasks. However, little attention has been devoted connected legal aspects. In 2016, the European Union approved General Data Protection Regulation which entered into force in 2018. Its main rationale was protect privacy and data protection its citizens by way operating so-called "Data Economy". As is fuel modern Artificial Intelligence, it argued that GDPR can be partly applicable a series algorithmic...
Vf is the main gene conferring monogenic resistance to scab in apple. Given that races 6 and 7 of Venturia inaequalis have recently overcome Vf-gene resistance, breeding strategy at University Bologna’s DCA has shifted polygenic by looking for sources old Italian apple germplasm. Crosses Prima x Durello di Forli, former being heterozygous latter having an unknown form field yielded 80% resistant seedlings but only 60% when conidia inoculum derived from pathotype associated with Forli....
Abstract This early-stage research article intends to explore the regulatory and liability requirements of a not yet fully developed subset consumer Internet Things (IoT) objects: mixed-functions IoT devices. These objects could be wearables or but perform an e-health function, such as measuring your heartbeat, well functions, displaying chat notifications. I argue that these devices will play important role within smart homes they interact with new medical carry on rehabilitation other...
Abstract The purpose of this article is to explain why it relevant connect the European case-law on Medical Devices Directive (MDD), by focussing defective breasts prostheses saga, future regulation liability for healthcare IoT objects. I believe that examining recent dealing with shortcomings in medical devices, will be possible build a scheme objects functions. discusses how new Regulation (MDR) different from previous MDD and whether likely influence schemes In conclusion, argue that,...
Recent developments in the technological domain have increased interactions between artificial and natural spheres, leading to a growing interest ethical, legal philosophical implications of AI research. The present paper aims at creating an interdisciplinary discussion on issues raised by use implementation intelligence algorithms, robotics, applied solutions neuroscience biotechnology field.

This early stage research article aims to outline an issue that, though not strictly connected the cyber-sphere, is most likely going affect it. Standard Setting/Developing Organisations (SSOs/SDOs) are getting more and important in electronics manufacturing field also IP by setting de facto mandatory rules for products be safer but, importantly, efficient. Standards create trust complex objects such as IoT devices, that increasingly available, especially ones house. It worth mentioning...
