Plant cells engage in mutualistic and parasitic endosymbioses with a wide variety of microorganisms, ranging from Gram-negative (Rhizobium, Nostoc) and Gram-positive bacteria (Frankia), to oomycetes (Phytophthora), Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) and true fungi (Erysiphe, ascomycete; Puccinia, basidiomycete). Endosymbiosis is characterised by the 'symbiosome', a com...

This paper describes an improvement of the engineering process of automated plants by combining information of the technical process and plant structure. Integrating a semi-formal process description in MS Visio for the requirements engineering phases and using these planning results throughout the engineering process can be an approach for an integrated engineering. By linking the semi-formal ...

In this paper, a new high-speed real-time network, PICNET(Plant Instrumentation and Control NETwork)+ is proposed. It is implemented as the control network of KNX-5, the DCS(Distributed Control System) for the nuclear power plant. Existing fieldbuses could not accommodate increasing data quantity and decreasing control period, and present broadband networks could not meet a hard real-time prope...

This brief meeting review summarizes the recommendations of NSF and NPGI funded bioinformaticians concerning the future requirements for plant bioinformatics systems and databases.

The nuclear envelope and the nuclear pore are important structures that both separate and selectively connect the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm. The requirements for specific targeting of proteins to the plant nuclear envelope and nuclear pore are poorly understood. How are transmembrane-domain proteins sorted to the nuclear envelope and nuclear pore membranes? What protein-protein interactions...

Kobe Steel's history of pelletizing plants began when the company built a plant at its Kobe Works in 1966. This paper introduces the history of pelletizing plants, including process outlines and the latest achievements in the construction of plants overseas. In the past, plant owners had focused mainly on the quality of the product pellets and plant equipment, as well as the cost of the plants....

this study aims at evaluating the completeness of the content of the ecological part in environmental impact assessments (eias) and environmental impact statements (eiss) on content review basis. the requirements of the ecological content as stated in the of five sets of thai’s eia guidelines, namely the specific guidelines for power plants, industrial projects, dams and harbors and the gene...

Plant growth studies involve seed germination studies and this depends on storage viability and dormancy aspects besides essential requirements and factors for the same. Of the various factors regulations plant growth and developmental processes intrinsic factors play a significant role. Plant hormones are chemicals that regulate plant growth. These occur in extremely low concentrations and inf...
