This research focuses implementation of software-based cancellation approach mitigate adverse effects BDFT in dragging tasks. A flight-simulator experiment with 18 participants was p...

The effects of biodynamic production practices on composition and sensory attributes of Sangiovese wines were examined for 2 years (2009 and 2010) in a vineyard that was converted from organic (ORG) to biodynamic (BDN) viticulture. During the first year (2009), the BDN wines were characterised by low alcohol strength, colour intensity, total polyphenols, monomeric anthocyanins and catechin. Con...
