TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the possibility of increasing the energy performance of thermal bricks through integration with two different technologies: the first is based on the insertion of phase change material (PCM) inside the enclosures of the bricks, while the second involves covering the internal surface with low emissivity coating.

TL;DR: The origin of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that are responsible for spontaneous grape must fermentation was investigated in a long-established industrial winery by means of two different approaches and demonstrate unequivocally that under real vinification conditions, the S. cerevisae strains colonising the winery surfaces are the ones that carry out the natural must fermentation.
Abstract: The origin of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that are responsible for spontaneous grape must fermentation was investigated in a long-established industrial winery by means of two different approaches. First, seven selected components of the analytical profiles of the wines produced by 58 strains of S. cerevisiae isolated from different sites and phases of the production cycle of a Grechetto wine were subjected to Principal Components Analysis. Secondly, the same S. cerevisiae isolates underwent PCR fingerprinting by means of delta primers. The results obtained by both methods demonstrate unequivocally that under real vinification conditions, the S. cerevisiae strains colonising the winery surfaces are the ones that carry out the natural must fermentation.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the persistence of recurring insect outbreaks during AD 1700-2000 and emphasizes that a widely distributed tree-ring network and novel analysis methods can contribute towards an understanding of the changes in outbreak amplitude, synchrony and climate dependence.
Abstract: Knowledge of the persistence of regular larch budmoth outbreaks is limited in space and time. Although dendrochronological methods have been used to reconstruct insect outbreaks, their presence may be obscured by climatic influences. More than 5000 tree-ring series from 70 larch host and 73 spruce nonhost sites within the European Alps and Tatra Mountains were compiled. Site-specific assessment of growth-climate responses and the application of six larch budmoth detection methods considering host, nonhost and instrumental time-series revealed spatiotemporal patterns of insect defoliation across the Alpine arc. Annual maps of reconstructed defoliation showed historical persistence of cyclic outbreaks at the site level, recurring c. every 8-9 yr. Larch budmoth outbreaks occurred independently of rising temperatures from the Little Ice Age until recent warmth. Although no collapse in outbreak periodicity was recorded at the local scale, synchronized Alpine-wide defoliation has ceased during recent decades. Our study demonstrates the persistence of recurring insect outbreaks during AD 1700-2000 and emphasizes that a widely distributed tree-ring network and novel analysis methods can contribute towards an understanding of the changes in outbreak amplitude, synchrony and climate dependence.

TL;DR: The results showed the spreading of these properties among the environmental isolates and confirm the need of both monitoring the presence of vibrios in coastal areas and studying their pathogenicity potential in order to properly protect human health.
Abstract: Summary
Culturable vibrios were isolated from water and plankton fractions collected during an 18-month sampling study performed along the north-central coast of the Adriatic Sea (Italy). Unculturable Vibrio vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus were detected in plankton fractions by polymerase chain reaction amplification of DNA sequences for cytotoxin-haemolysin and thermolabile haemolysin respectively. The presence of V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae virulence genes and the expression of pathogenicity-associated traits were analysed in all isolates. The results showed the spreading of these properties among the environmental isolates and confirm the need of both monitoring the presence of vibrios in coastal areas and studying their pathogenicity potential in order to properly protect human health.

TL;DR: It is concluded that MAD and NLC can encapsulate BC, although only NLC provide long-lasting therapeutic effects possibly extending BC half-life in vivo.
