Producing natural vanilla extract from green vanilla beans using a β-glucosidase from Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus

From HUppaal to Uppaal: Vanilla-1

We present a hierarchical version of timed automata, equipped with data types, hand-shake synchronization, and local variables. We describe the formal semantics of this hierarchical timed automata (HTA) formalism in terms of a transition system. We report on the implementation of a flattening algorithm, that translates our formalism to a network of Uppaal timed automata. We establish a correspo...

Origins and Dispersal of Cultivated Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Jacks. [Orchidaceae])

Origins and Dispersal of Cultivated Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Jacks. [Orchidaceae]). Vanilla is a clonally propagated crop originating from Mesoamerica. Information regarding the circumstances under which vanilla cultivation began is incomplete. Presumably, the Totonac people of Papantla (north-central Veracruz, Mexico) were the earliest to cultivate vanilla; however, the oldest reports of va...

Comparison of Fungal Community in Black Pepper-Vanilla and Vanilla Monoculture Systems Associated with Vanilla Fusarium Wilt Disease

Long-term vanilla monocropping often results in the occurrence of vanilla Fusarium wilt disease, seriously affecting its production all over the world. In the present study, vanilla exhibited significantly less Fusarium wilt disease in the soil of a long-term continuously cropped black pepper orchard. The entire fungal communities of bulk and rhizosphere soils between the black pepper-vanilla s...

More than just vanilla.

A first taste of Vanilla

We present an overview of Vanilla, a system for building interpreters from components implementing language fragments. We describe Vanilla’s architecture and capabilities, and illustrate its use by defining a simple language feature.
