Effects of Plant Size, Temperature, and Light Intensity on Flowering of Phalaenopsis Hybrids in Mediterranean Greenhouses by Roberta Paradiso, Stefania De Pascale

“…Heating represents the highest production cost, due to the high thermal requirements and the long unproductive phase of juvenility, in which plants attain the critical size for flowering. Our researches aimed to investigate the effect of plant size, temperature, and light intensity, during the phase of flower induction, on flowering of modern genotypes selected for Mediterranean greenhouses. …”

Microbial ecology of sandflies—the correlation between nutrition, Phlebotomus papatasi sandfly development and microbiome by Slavica Vaselek, Bulent Alten

“…The microbial content of the larval gut depends on the composition of the rearing medium, indicating a potential attraction to certain bacteria. The microbial content of the pupa gut was severely diminished, with overall survival of two bacterial species in adult insects - Ochrobactrum intermedium (found in 95% of dissected adults) and Bacillus subtilis (16%). …”

Meeting delay expect value in spray and forward routing algorithm by Xin LIU, Guang JIN, Xianliang JIANG, Jun NIU

“…The existing DTN routing algorithms tend to make data transition inflexible and have a long delay in contact.To solve those problems,an algorithm was proposed which called meeting delay expect value in spray and forward routing algorithm for DTN（MDESF）.This algorithm will use mobile node's contact history to conduct the expected average contact/disconnect time and message expected wait value（EWV）.With those attributes the MDESF will proportionally distribute replicas of a message between two nodes in multiple replicas phase.A buffer management strategy was proposed in order to improve the success rate of imformation fornarded.The simulation results illustrate that the proposed MDESF protocol outperform other existing ones.…”
