Two novel applications using a portable and wireless sensor system (e-nose) for the wine producing industry-The recognition and classification of musts coming from different grape ripening times and from different grape varieties-Are reported in this paper. These applications are very interesting because a lot of varieties of grapes produce musts with low and similar aromatic intensities so the...

MEN WHO grow vegetable seeds for sale engage in a specialized and highly competitive farming operation. They compete to maintain superior strains of most standard varieties and to develop new varieties. Most of the large vegetable seed companies have well-qualified staffs to develop and maintain stock seed, from which is produced seed for the market, mostly by farmers who have contracts with th...

With the advent of cloud computing, different providers with heterogeneous services (compute, storage, network, applications, etc.) and their related Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have emerged. This heterogeneity complicates implementation an interoperable system. Several standards been proposed to address this challenge provide a unified interface resources. The Open Cloud Computin...

As we address important societal needs, the circular economy equips us with means to jointly combat climate change and biodiversity loss, including revaluation of waste. The wine-making process is a huge generator waste, creating problems for manufacturers every year; therefore, an appropriate management valorisation winery wastes are crucial, even if it difficult. This results from hardship di...

Leg autotomy can be a very effective strategy for escaping a predation attempt in many animals. In spiders, autotomy can be very common (5-40% of individuals can be missing legs) and has been shown to reduce locomotor speeds, which, in turn, can reduce the ability to find food, mates, and suitable habitat. Previous work on spiders has focused mostly on the influence of limb loss on horizontal m...

The sense of smell, olfaction, is seldom engaged in digital interactive systems, but, supported by the proper technology, olfaction might open up new interaction domains. Human olfactory experience involves active exploration, directed sniffing and nuanced judgements about odour identity, concentrations, blends, yet to date most compact displays do not directly support these experiences. We des...

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of embroidering folklorized poetic works by Taras Shevchenko on towels (rushnyky), many which belong patriotic inscriptions (for most part, Western Ukraine, 1930s). These lines could be in a variety contaminations. Embroideresses often combined between two and four different works, therefore creating an absolutely new text. Particularly, I demonstrate ru...
