Nonchemical quarantine treatments, using a combination of short-duration high temperatures under low oxygen, elevated carbon dioxide atmospheric environment were developed to control codling moth in sweet cherries, Prunus avium (L.). The two treatments developed are a chamber temperature of 45 degrees C for 45 min and a chamber temperature of 47 degreesC for 25 min under a 1% oxygen, 15% carbon...

Traditional CBR approaches imply centralized storage of the case base and, most of them, the retrieval of similar cases by an exhaustive comparison of the case to be solved with the whole set of cases. In this work we propose a novel approach for storage of the case base in a decentralized Peer-toPeer environment using the notion of Unspecified Ontology. In our approach the cases are stored in ...

Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most widespread reproductive modification induced in insects by the maternally inherited intracellular bacteria, Wolbachia. Expression of CI in Drosophila melanogaster is quite variable. Published papers typically show that CI expression is weak and often varies between different Drosophila lines and different labs reporting the results. The basis for thi...
