Quantifying sources of variability in neonicotinoid residue data for assessing risks to pollinators

open access: yesJulius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2014 guidance for assessing pesticide risks to bees relies on higher-tier studies of residues in pollen and nectar to refine pesticide exposure estimates obtained from lower tier information (e.g., default ...

Inter-Laboratory Comparison of RT-PCR-Based Methods for the Detection of Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus on Tomato

open access: yesPathogens, 2022
In 2020, a test performance study (TPS) for the specific detection of tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) was organized in the frame of the H2020 Valitest project. Since no validated tests were available, all the protocols reported in the literature

Analysis and hardware testing of cell capacitor discharge currents during DC faults in half-bridge modular multilevel converters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper focuses on the behaviour of the cell capacitor discharge currents during DC faults in half-bridge modular multilevel converters. Active switches, not designed for fault conditions, are tripped to minimize discharge currents effect on the ...
