This study describes the methodology employed to construct a seismic fragility function based on a pre-existing Truck Model Kit numerical model tailored for underground stations.Employing a dynamic numerical model, a comprehensive analysis encompassing 110 distinct cases was conducted, each varying in soil depth and classification.Seismic waves, co
A major application of a distributed WSN (wireless sensor network) is to monitor a specific area for detecting some events such as disasters and enemies.In order to achieve this objective, each sensor in the network is required to collect local observations which are probably corrupted by noise, make a local decision regarding the presence or absen
A real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for simple, rapid and efficient detection of the Olea europaea geminivirus (OEGV), a virus recently reported in different olive cultivation areas worldwide.A preliminary screening by end-point PCR for OEGV detection was conducted to ascertain the presence of OEGV in Sicil
