Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is amenable to grafting and this technique can be exploited to improve production of this vegetable crop. Here, we study the performance of the ‘Cristal F1’ eggplant cultivar grafted onto a total of 17 rootstocks, including five families, each of which is made by two parents and their hybrid, as well a commercial eggplant rootstock and a self-grafted control. Three ...

Let S-Set be the category of $S$-sets, sets together with the actions of a semigroup $S$ on them. And, let S-Pos be the category of $S$-posets, posets together with the actions compatible with the orders on them. In this paper we show that the category S-Pos is a radical extension of S-Set; that is there is a radical on the category S-Pos, the order desolator radical, whose torsion-free class i...

Background: Significant increases in the bacterial resistance to various antibiotics have been found in fish farms. Non-antibiotic therapies for infectious diseases in aquaculture are needed. In recent years, light-emitting diode technology has been applied to the inactivation of pathogens, especially those affecting humans. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of blue light (wave...
