High diversity of known and new, mostly exotic Phytophthora species in forests, nurseries and streams across Portugal and numerous associated forest tree declines are a consequence of long‐term plant introductions and outplantings. Abstract Between 2010 and 2015, an extensive survey of Phytophthora diversity was performed across Portugal.

Optical Surface Roughness Estimation Using Artificial Intelligence
An artificial intelligence (AI) model has been developed using a data set recorded by a laser triangulation scanner and a digital camera. This model is capable of identifying whether blasted steel surfaces are good or bad, and it can also estimate the roughness of these surfaces in the form of the Rz parameter, based on images alone.

Energetically Consistent Eddy‐Diffusivity Mass‐Flux Convective Schemes: 1. Theory and Models
Abstract This paper presents a self‐contained derivation, from first principles, of a convective vertical mixing scheme based on the Eddy‐Diffusivity Mass‐Flux (EDMF) approach. This type of closure separates vertical turbulent fluxes into two components: an eddy‐diffusivity (ED) which accounts for local small‐scale mixing in a nearly isotropic ...

In processes of refining and chemical productions, alarm systems are generally centralized alarm management systems for process parameters. However, in order to address the challenges of advanced manipulation and maintenance during emergencies, there has been limited research on timely alarming for individual critical process parameters.

Abstract The most advanced power grid design, known as a ‘smart power grid’, integrates information and communication technology (ICT) with a conventional grid system to enable remote management of electricity distribution. The intelligent cyber‐physical architecture enables bidirectional, real‐time data sharing between electricity suppliers and ...

The correction of the dimensionless equation for the mass transfer coefficient estimation during the membrane modules regeneration [PDF]
The cleaning or regeneration of fouled membrane modules is an essential procedure in the membrane equipment operation. Despite the development of some successful cleaning techniques, the predictions of the membrane separation process operation parameters

To illustrate the construction of precursor complementary DNAs, we isolated mRNAs from whole venom samples. After reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we amplified the cDNA coding for a neurotoxic protein, phospholipase A2 D49 (PLA2 ...
