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

Julius-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 ...

Protection strategy for multi-terminal DC networks with fault current blocking capability of converters [PDF]

, 2017
High voltage dc networks are a promising technology to flexibly transmit power over long distances. However, dc grid protection is still a major challenge. DC fault clearance can be mainly achieved with three devices. These are ac circuit breakers (ACCBs)

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

Pathogens, 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
