No full textEl Castell de Vallmoll és un edifici d´origen medieval que, segons els estudis realitzats per l´arquitecte Miquel Orellana i Gafaldà, redactor del projecte, data del segle XI. Aquest edifici medieval ha sofert moltes reformes, reconstruccions i ampliacions fins al segle XIX, moment en què és abandonat definitivament

Transcriptome analysis (RNA-sequencing) of cultivated wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) and Bipolaris oryzae at 24 h and 48 h of their interaction.
No full textThe datasets contain expressed genes of the Northern Wild Rice (Zizania palustris L.) obtained during Bipolaris oryzae infection versus those expressed by mock-inoculated (water) plants at 24h and 48h. It also contains Bipolaris oryzae transcripts during infection of Northern Wild Rice compared to those expressed by the fungus in vitro at 24 h and 48 h.We designed a transcriptome study to understand the global gene expression between a cultivated wild rice, Itasca – C12, and the Bipolaris oryzae isolate TG12Lb2 at 12 h and 48 h of their encounter. Wild rice activated numerous plant recognition receptors, followed by active transcriptional reprogramming of signaling mechanisms driven by Ca+2 and its sensors, mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades, activation of an oxidative burst, as well as phytohormone signaling bound-mechanisms. Several transcription factors associated with plant defense were found to be expressed. Importantly, evidence of diterpenoid phytoalexins, especially phytocassane biosynthesis, among other defense genes was found. In B. oryzae, predicted genes associated with pathogenicity, including secreted effectors that could target plant defense mechanisms, were expressed.UMII MnDRIVE Updraft Grant 1000-12165-MNI11-1806486USDA-ARS project: 5026-12210-004-00DCastell-Miller, Claudia V.; Kono, Thomas J.Y.; Samac, Deborah A.; Kimball, Jennifer A..

Scale-up activation of carbon fibres for hydrogen storage
No full textIn a previous study, we investigated, at a laboratory scale, the chemical activation of two different carbon fibres (CF), their porosity characterization, and their optimization for hydrogen storage [1]. In the present work, this study is extended to: (i) a larger range of KOH activated carbon fibres, (ii) a larger range of hydrogen adsorption measurements at different temperatures and pressures (i.e. at room temperature, up to 20 MPa, and at 77 K, up to 4 MPa), and (iii) a scaling-up activation approach in which the obtained activated carbon fibres (ACF) are compared with those from laboratory-scale activation. The prepared samples cover a large range of porosities, which is found to govern their ability for hydrogen adsorption. The hydrogen uptake capacities of all the prepared samples have been analysed both in volumetric and in gravimetric bases. Thus, maximum adsorption capacities of around 5 wt% are obtained at 77 K, and 1.1 wt% at room temperature, respectively. The packing densities of the materials have been measured, turning out to play an important role in order to estimate the total storage capacity of a tank volume. Maximum values of 17.4 g/l at 298 K, and 38.6 g/l at 77 K were obtained.Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. supplied the two precursor materials. Financial help was received from the European Union (Marie Curie Research Training Network-HyTRAIN-Project reference: 512443), MEC (ENE2005-23824-E/CON), the Generalitat Valenciana (ACOMP06/089 and PROMETEO/2009/047), as well as MEC-CTQ2006-08958/PPQ

Effect of electron beam irradiation on quality and shelf-life of Tommy Atkins mango (Mangifera indica l.) and blueberry (Vaccinium corymbsum l.)
No full textThe main goal of this research was to determine the feasibility of using electron
beam irradiation as an alternative disinfestation technology while preserving the overall
quality of mangoes, and to verify its suitability for the preservation shelf life of
blueberries.
Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the fruits were evaluated.
Mangoes were irradiated at 1.0, 1.5 and 3.1 kGy using a 10MeV (10 kW) linear
accelerator (LINAC) with double beam fixture. Samples were stored at 12������C and 62.7%
RH for 21 days. Blueberries packed in plastic clamshell containers were irradiated at 1.1,
1.6 and 3.2 kGy doses using the same linear accelerator with a single beam. The shelf
life of the berries stored at 5������C and 70.4% RH was evaluated for 14 days. The firmness
of mangoes irradiated at 1.5 and 3.1 kGy significantly (p > 0.05) decreased during
storage. There was a reduction of total sugars (8.1% and 14.1%) in samples irradiated at
1.0 kGy and 1.5 kGy, respectively. All irradiated mangoes had significantly lower (50- 70 %) ascorbic acid content throughout storage. The phenolic compounds increased in
samples irradiated at 1.5 kGy (27.4%) and 3.1 kGy) (18.3%). Sensory evaluation of the
fruits irradiated with 3.1 kGy showed significantly less acceptability for overall quality,
color, texture and aroma. Irradiation of blueberries at 1.1 kGy had no significant (p >
0.05) effect on the fruits' physicochemical characteristics with the exception of ascorbic
acid which decreased by 17% after 14 days. A significant decrease in texture (firmness)
of irradiated berries was observed during storage time. Total sugars decreased in all
irradiated fruits while total phenolics and tannins increased (10 -20%). Sensory attributes
of samples irradiated with 1.1 kGy and 1.6 kGy were found acceptable by the panelists.
The high dose-treated fruits were considered unacceptable.
The results from this research suggest that a 1.5 kGy is the best treatment to
maintain the quality attributes of mangoes and increase the shelf life by three days. The
electron beam irradiation of packed blueberries at doses of 1.1 and 1.6 kGy ensures and
enhances the quality and the shelf life of blueberries up to 14 days
The micro processes underlying small firms'integration into territorial innovation dynamics - a knowledge based perspective
No full textThe paper is concerned with the process of SMEs' insertion into innovation projects within regional clusters. The objective is to contribute to a better understanding of this process by examining the underlying mechanisms of territorial innovation dynamics. A particular attention is given to the interplay between the features of territorial dynamics of innovation identified, and SMEs' capacity to participate to collaborative innovation projects. In this perspective, the article analyse the front-end process of territorial inter-organizational innovation, the early stage during which partners negotiate and establish collaborative innovation projects. Rather than investigating how clusters facilitate the access to new resources and knowledge, the crucial question here is how clusters allow the combination of different component of knowledge among heterogeneous actors. First, our findings reveal the key underlying role of architectural knowledge in local innovation processes. Second, they suggest that the nature of architectural knowledge inside the cluster influences the capacity and the motivation of SMEs to participate to local innovation projects. These findings contribute to theory by developing a grounded model of territorial dynamics of innovation and of SMEs integration into localised innovation projectsclusters; SMEs; architectural innovation; knowledge; local innovation projects
