The aim of this paper was to reduce the current spikes in battery-powered saw motors by designing and implementing a sliding mode model-following adaptive controller. The proposed controller reduces overcurrent consumption, improves system energy efficiency, and effectively maximizes battery runtime, especially under high-load conditions. By applying nonlinear compensation techniques, the controller can ensure smooth motor operation, reduce mechanical stress, and prolong tool life.

The endogenous stress metabolite β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) primes plants for enhanced resistance against abiotic and biotic stress by activating a complex phytohormone signaling network that includes abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene (ET). In this study, through stringent filtering, we identify 14 master regulatory transcription factors (TFs) from the DOF, AHL, and ERF families that potentially regulate the biosynthesis and signaling of these phytohormones. Transcriptional analysis of BABA-treated and suggests that DOF family TFs play a crucial role in stress response regulation in both species.

In this study, we report the interaction between an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, , and tomato plants under heat stress. For the first time, this interaction was studied by Illumina RNA-seq, followed by a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis that investigated root and leaf tissue samples. The genome-wide transcriptional profiling displayed fewer transcriptomic changes in the root under heat-stress conditions caused by .

Plant immunological memory, priming, is a defense mechanism that can be triggered by external stimuli, leading to the activation of biochemical pathways and preparing plants for disease resistance. Plant conditioners improve yield and crop quality through nutrient efficiency and abiotic stress tolerance, which is enhanced by the addition of resistance- and priming-induced compounds. Based on this hypothesis, this study aimed to investigate plant responses to priming actives of different natures, including salicylic acid and beta-aminobutyric acid, in combination with the plant conditioning agent ELICE Vakcina.

Recently, environmentally friendly crop improvements using next-generation plant biostimulants (PBs) come to the forefront in agriculture, regardless of whether they are used by scientists, farmers, or industries. Various organic and inorganic solutions have been investigated by researchers and producers, focusing on tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses, crop quality, or nutritional deficiency. Garlic has been considered a universal remedy ever since antiquity.

Nowadays, many researchers, farmers and companies focus on the development of an environmentally friendly approach for enhancing field vegetable production and protection. Using next-generation plant biostimulants (PBs) could be effective to enhance tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses, vegetable crop quality or nutrient efficiency which is particularly important for vegetables with a short growing season, such as . Two herbal drug-containing plant conditioners Elice16Indures® (supercritical carbon dioxide extract SC-CO) and Fitokondi® (aqueous extract) developed in the RIMPH Ltd (Hungary) were used in pea field experiments to monitor the potential of enhancing crop quality and defense response against different stress factors.

This work aimed to study the plant conditioning effect and mode of action of a plant-based biostimulant used in organic farming. This new generation plant biostimulant, named ELICE16INDURES, is rich in plant bio-active ingredients containing eleven supercritical botanical extracts encapsulated in nano-scale liposomes. The dose-response (10 to 240 g ha) relationship was tested in a field population of autumn barley ( test crop, and underlying molecular mechanisms were studied.

The dynamic of flower development is a key agronomic characteristic affecting soybean yield. RNA-seq dataset of field-cultivated soybean flowers in four developmental stages including flower buds, and early, mature, and overblown stage flowers are reported in this paper. Gene Expression (Gex) library construction and Illumina NextSeq550 sequencing were carried out to produce 86 bp long forward reads.

East-West migration has become a dominant spatial phenomenon in Europe since the step-by-step enlargement of the EU, posing considerable socio-economic and demographic challenges for sending countries. However, little is known about the geopolitics and motivations that inspire a return to the country of origin. The objective of this article is to identify the motivations for emigration, adaptation experiences and decisions of Hungarian migrants who worked in the West for a period of time and returned to Hungary, based on their skills and family status before their return.

The goal of our research was to develop a continuous glass fibre-reinforced epoxy matrix self-sensing composite. A fibre bundle arbitrarily chosen from the reinforcing glass fabric in the composite was prepared to guide white light. The power of the light transmitted by the fibres changes as a result of tensile loading.

Common ragweed L. is the most widespread weed and the most dangerous pollen allergenic plant in large areas of the temperate zone. Since herbicides like PSI and PSII inhibitors have their target genes in the chloroplast genome, understanding the chloroplast genome may indirectly support the exploration of herbicide resistance and development of novel control methods.

This goal of our research was to show that E-glass fiber bundles used for reinforcing composites can be enabled to transmit light in a common resin without any special preparation (without removing the sizing). The power of the transmitted light was measured and the attenuation coefficient, which characterizes the fiber bundle, was determined. Although the attenuation coefficient depends on temperature and the wavelength of the light, it is independent of the power of incident light, the quality of coupling, and the length of the specimen.

Gaining a better understanding of Quality Control (QC) processes is a key requirement to improving performance and reducing patient risk. Detecting analytical error is dependent on a QC strategy that reliably detects a critical shift in a result away from the true value. Recently the concept of Six Sigma has been used by diagnostic laboratories to assess the performance of assays and to assist in the selection of QC rules.

The rubber hand illusion (RHI) and its variant the invisible hand illusion (IHI) are useful for investigating multisensory aspects of bodily self-consciousness. Here, we explored whether auditory conditioning during an RHI could enhance the trisensory visuo-tactile-proprioceptive interaction underlying the IHI. Our paradigm comprised of an IHI session that was followed by an RHI session and another IHI session.
