Scented rose species are very important in the genus Rosa due to their use in highly-prized essential oil production and as garden roses. The fragrance of the rose flower (attar) captured by extraction is one of the most valuable flavor and fragrance products. A comprehensive study of the papers published in the field of in vitro culture and biotechnology of these species, particularly Damask r...

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is a ubiquitous polyphagous arthropod herbivore that feeds on a remarkably broad array of species, with more than 150 of economic value. It is a major pest of greenhouse crops, especially in Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae (e.g., tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini) and greenhouse ornamentals (e.g., roses, chrysanthemum, carnations), ...

Roses have an indisputable leading role in private gardens. They also appear public areas. are very interesting plants for urban areas because they represent aesthetic, ecological, tehnical and sociological potential. In varietes selected according to various criteria such as resistance heat, low temperatures drought, repetitive flowering ease of maintenance. The aim our study is present prefer...

The monitor and prediction of crop developmental stages, particularly harvest time, play an important role in planning greenhouse cropping programs and timetables by cut rose producers. There have been many scientific reports on the application of image analysis technology in estimating greenhouse crop growth stages. In the present research, we studied leaf color variations over time by taking ...

In this work we present an application developed in Derive 6 to compose counterpoints for a given melody (“cantus firmus”). The result is non deterministic, so different counterpoints can be generated for a fixed melody, all of them obeying classical rules of counterpoint. It is also possible that the counterpoint could not be generated, in this case, backtracking techniques have been implement...

Musical scores are some of the most important learning tools for musicians’ acquisition of musical knowledge. However, despite their educational relevance, very little is known about how music students conceive of these cultural external representations. Given that these conceptions might act as mediators of students’ learning approaches, the importance of knowing these conceptions seems eviden...
