Aetiopathogenesis of glomerulonephritis in canine leishmaniasis: idiotypic characterization of IgG eluted from the kidney tissue
No full textAssessing yacht design processes: a comparison of traditional and integrated methodologies
Full text linkYacht design process currently faces challenges as slow data sharing, lack of flexibility in modelling and inefficient optimisation of shapes. This paper assesses the potential of an integrated approach over the traditional one, using a hypothetical industry scenario. The key aspects of data sharing/project management, modelling system, and shape optimization are compared, and new collaborative tools and technologies are introduced. The research reveals significant benefits of the integrated approach over the traditional one highlighting its potential to foster innovation within the industry
How Digital Technologies Can Support Sustainability of the Waterborne Passenger Mobility Ecosystem: A Case Study Analysis of Smart Circular Practices in Northern Europe
Full text linkTo tackle the significant increase in traffic congestion and pollution in urban areas, wa- terborne transport systems can offer a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative, decreasing traffic congestion on roads, noise, and pollution emissions, with reduced infrastructure requirements. Developing a sustainable waterborne passenger system requires a multidisciplinary approach and a systemic view, which involves various stakeholders and knowledge. Digital transition can encourage a better management of resources and enables systems integration promoting circular economy and ecosystem models, which create interrelations among systems. The aim of this study is to identify circular practices adopted in the waterborne passenger mobility (WPM) ecosystem driven by digital technologies. A holistic perspective which considers all the system of actors and their mutual interactions has been adopted. Five case studies have been selected in Northern Europe and analyzed by applying the Smart Circular WPM Ecosystem framework, previously developed by the authors. The analysis identifies a list of Smart Circular practices resulting from the application of digital technologies during specific lifecycle stages, involving certain actors’ categories, and enabling circular principles. The case studies analysis also highlighted unexplored or under-considered fields of action which can be the base for further researc

No full textShoot Regeneration from Leaf Explant in Nipponanthemum nipponicum
No full textShoot regeneration from leaf explants has been achieved in Nipponanthemum nipponicum (syn. Chrysanthemum nipponicum), a diploid-related species to cultivated hexaploid chrysanthemums. Effects of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and indolacetic acid (IAA), each at three levels of concentration, were tested on three progenies derived from self-fertilisation of a cultivated clone. Optimal BA concentration for regeneration was 2.2 μM, while no significant differences were detected between the IAA concentrations tested. Significant differences between the progenies were observed. Several genotypes were then tested for their shoot-forming ability. Seven out of 23 did not produce shoots, six produced shoots in more than 50% of the explants. The mean number of shoots per regenerating explant was up to thre
