Abstract Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterium native to America and classified as priority pest for EU regulation. Since 2013, X. has been identified in European countries with Mediterranean climate, such Italy, France, Spain Portugal, different subspecies sequence types (ST) detected. 2015 subsp. multiplex ST6 and/or ST7 detected Corsica the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur almost 70 plan...

This work reports on the implementation of a two-dimensional, varia-tional geometric constraint solver based on a constructive approach. The solver computes a solution in two phases. First, using rewrite rules, the solver builds a sequence of construction steps. Then, the construction steps are carried out to generate an instance of the geometric object for the current dimension values. We disc...

The first recorded electroantennographic preliminary studies on stingless bees have been performed using two species of Frieseomelitta from Brazil. Experiments with F. silvestrii and F. varia showed that antennae respond to hexane extracts of heads and abdomens of both species and posterior tibia of F. silvestrii (which carry plant resin), as well as to the pure compounds 2-heptanol and 2-nonan...

The problem of the pairing interaction is dealt with even Grass-mann variables in the hamiltonian framework. Eigenfunctions of given energy, seniority and zero third component of angular momentum are given in terms of single particle and collective bosonic fields. Si tratta il problema dell'interazione di pairing con le varia-bili di Grassman pari nel formalismo hamiltoniano. Si danno le autofu...

Cutaneous malignant melanoma is the most common cause of mortality from skin cancers in Caucasian populations. The incidence rates of malignant melanoma show considerable varia‐ tion worldwide. Annual incidence rates per 100,000 people vary between about 40 in Australia and New Zealand to about 20 in the United States [1,2]. In contrast, a significantly lower inci‐ dence rate has been reported ...

We prove L 1 {contraction and thus uniqueness for solutions of the equation modelling un-stationary saturated{unsaturated water ow in porous media. Due to three diierent types of boundary conditions, describing contact with an impervious layer, with water reservoirs of variable level and with the atmosphere, this elliptic{parabolic equation comes as a varia-tional inequality with time{dependent...

Common origin of lingual and facial artery is a relatively frequent anatomic varia-tion. Instead, bilateral lingual-facial trunk has been described only sparsely in the literature. In this report authors describe and analyse a case of bilateral common lingual-facial trunk in the context of its anatomical, clinical and embryological implications. We also describe possible consequences in perform...
