The biological control agent for bacterial canker of kiwifruit, in Aureo® Gold, is a strain of Aureobasidium pullulans identifiable by novel SCAR marker primers by Deirdre A. Cornish, Magan M. Schipper, Jenny M. Oldham, Janet Yu, Joel L. Vanneste

“…One set of primers designed on this SCAR marker gave a unique amplicon only with CG163 and not with any of the 164 strains of A. pullulans tested. In addition, an in silico analysis revealed that none of the 75 strains of A. pullulans for which the whole genome sequence is available had the same sequence as either one of those primers. …”

Assessment of RANS Models for Milli-Channel Turbulent Flow in Drip Irrigation Emitter by Qi Feng, Qingzheng Li, Yaojun Li, Xuefeng Qiu, Jiandong Wang, Xingfa Huang

“…Furthermore, computations using SWF failed to capture the asymptotic characteristics of flow parameters in the near-wall region, resulting in an overestimation of turbulent kinetic energy and turbulence intensity. Additionally, the magnitude of wall shear stress in the channel corners fell below the threshold required for self-cleaning, underscoring the necessity for optimizing channel structures to enhance the anti-clogging performance of the emitter.…”

Mechanical properties and microscopic damage characteristics of coal series limestone under coupling effects of high temperature and impact by Peng Wu, Lianying Zhang, Bing Li, Yadong Zheng, Ming Li, Fuqiang Zhu

“…The results showed that the dynamic stress-strain curve of coal-series limestone under the real-time coupling effect of high temperature and impact during the compaction stage was not significant; As the impact velocity increases and the temperature increases, the plastic characteristics of the dynamic stress-strain curve become more notable, and the brittle failure of the sample is gradually changed into brittle-ductile failure. Additionally, the dynamic peak stress and dynamic elastic modulus exhibit distinct quadratic variations with the increased temperature, and the dynamic peak stress approximately increases linearly with the impact velocity. …”
