Zeolite application and irrigation during ripening reduced berry sunburn damage and yield loss in cv. Sangiovese ( L.).

Climate change poses significant challenges to the grapevine cultivation for wine production. In the last years, the occurrence of extreme weather events such as intense heat waves and prolonged period of drought increased sunburn damage with negative consequences to yield and berry composition. Short-term adaptation strategies are urgently needed to mitigate these effects.

Acoustic Dual-Function Communication and Echo-Location in Inaudible Band.

Acoustic communications are experiencing renewed interest as alternative solutions to traditional RF communications, not only in RF-denied environments (such as underwater) but also in areas where the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is heavily shared among several wireless systems. By introducing additional dedicated channels, independent from the EM ones, acoustic systems can be used to ensure the continuity of some critical services such as communication, localization, detection, and sensing. In this paper, we design and implement a novel acoustic system that uses only low-cost off-the-shelf hardware and the transmission of a single, suitably designed signal in the inaudible band (18-22 kHz) to perform integrated sensing (ranging) and communication.

The genus Brullé, 1834 in Cambodia, with descriptions of two new species (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Licinini).

The species recorded from Cambodia are discussed and two new species, and are described. Moreover, the holotypes of (Bates, 1892) and Jedlička, 1936, two often misinterpreted species from the Oriental Region, are illustrated and some aspects of their morphology are clarified. Finally, an analytical key to all species recorded from Cambodia is provided.
