Identification of the Pathogens and Laboratory Bioactivity Determination of the Rot Disease of Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) by Yanling Ren, Tao Wang, Jian Tang, Yingjie Jiang, Yaxin Huang, Chengping Zhang, Jing Peng, Juan Wang, Shanshan Wang, Jing Wang

“…In this study, the rotten fruits of kiwifruit (Cultivar “Jinyan”) were collected from Pujiang city (Sichuan province), Xixia city, (Henan province), Zhouzhi (Shaanxi province), Meixian city (Shaanxi province), and Bijie (Guizhou province), China, and the pathogenic fungi were identified by isolation and purification, pathogenicity test, morphological characteristics, and analysis of ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (rDNA-ITS) sequences. The results showed that the pathogenic fungi of kiwifruit rot disease were Botryosphaeria dothidea and Dothiorella gregaria. …”

MS-1 by Sofia M. Pereira PhD, Steve R. Williams PhD, Patricia Murray PhD, Arthur Taylor PhD

“…Furthermore, the magA -induced enhancement in iron uptake in HEK cells is insignificant, suggesting this gene is a poor reporter even for cell types that can tolerate its expression. We suggest that the use of magA for stem cells should be approached with caution, and its efficacy as a reporter gene requires a careful assessment on a cell-by-cell basis.…”

Improving Knowledge about Risks Related to Alpine Sports: A Collaborative Laboratory on Accidentology by Maud Vanpoulle, Bastien Soulé, Eric Boutroy, Brice Lefèvre

“…This article describes the creation, socialization and evolution of the research project associated with the SERAC database, highlighting the hybrid and uncertain nature of the knowledge produced and how it is inextricably linked with the mountain environment. At its source, the SERAC project has two complementary but also divergent aims: that of collaborative action research to support social innovation, and the production of contextualized knowledge that can ideally be translated into accident prevention recommendations and a better understanding of risky alpine practices.…”

Forward Position Solution and Singularity Analysis of a 3SPS+1PS Bionic Parallel Manipulator by Li Yang, Cheng Gang, Feng Lanlan

“…In order to overcome the defects of traditional serial hip joint testing machine on high speed,complex motion simulation and large dynamic loading,aparallel hip joint testing machine with a3SPS+1PS spatial parallel manipulator as the core module is developed.The complicated forward position solution and the singularity are significant difficulties of its application.An analytical model of forward position analysis is built with the coordinates of hinge points on the moving platform and a univariate polynomial equation of higher degree is obtained,proving that there exist 8forward solution for a single input at most.The singular status of the testing machine under required motions is investigated according to the Jacobian matrix.The two singular points are proved to be the forward singularities caused by the overlaps of the forward position solution.Then the corresponding avoidance strategy is given.…”
