Received 25 February, 2014; Acceppted 9 June, 2014 Due to premature defoliation, early blight epidemics can cause major yield losses. Large-spore Alternaria species such as A. solani and A. tomatophila have long been recognized as important pathogens responsible for such blight disease in the famiily Solanaceeae and thus represent a serious risk for crop production. Small-spore Alternaria species have also been frequently isolated from plant samples with typical blight symptoms but their incidence as primary pathogens is often controversial. In order to study the diversity of small-spore Alternaria species, 32 isolates were selected from a larger collection of 130 isolates from infected leaves, fruits and sttems of tomato from various growing regions of North-West Algeria. Morphological characterization under standard conditions annd polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses using specific primers to amplify a part of the ITS regions and the 5.8S gene were conducted to confirm their identification as members of the altternata section.

  • A Comparison of Some Existing Radios with Implications for Public Safety Interoperability
    Chameleonic Radio Technical Memo No. 4 A Comparison of Some Existing Radios with Implications for Public Safety Interoperability S.W. Ellingson June 1, 2006 Bradley Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University Blacksburg, VA 24061 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Methodology 1 3 Findings 2 4 Concluding Remarks 3 A Summary of Radio Speci¯cations 5 B Brochures 7 ii 1 Introduction Presently, public safety communications infrastructure in the U.S. consists of a dis- parate collection of radio technologies operating over a wide range of frequencies and using a variety of incompatible protocols [1]. This situation impairs interoperability between public safety agencies, which is particularly apparent during periods of crisis. One possible approach to mitigating this di±culty is to employ mobile radios that are capable of operating over multiple frequency bands and protocols (modes), as opposed to being limited to one frequency range and one protocol [2]. However, this problem is not unique to the public safety community. A simi- lar problem has arisen in military radio communications, which has led to the de- velopment of military radios with multiband/multimode capabilities [3]. Also, for somewhat di®erent reasons, multiband/multimode mobile radios are prevalent in the amateur radio community. Therefore, there may be something to be learned by com- paring the characteristics of these existing multiband/multimode radios to existing public safety mobile radios. This report is a ¯rst attempt. 2 Methodology The summary of this brief, informal study is reported in the form of a table in Ap- pendix A. Ten radios were selected, including 6 from the public safety market, 3 from the military market, and 1 from the amateur radio market.

  • KY-58 (Vinson)
    KY-58 (Vinson) The KY-57/58 is a member of the VINSON family. The VINSON family consists of wideband secure voice (WBSV) units developed by the National Security Agency to provide line of sight half-duplex voice and data encryption at 16 Kbps. The KY-57/58 provides security for AM/FM, VHF, UHF, half-duplex PTT combat net radios and tactical wireline systems when used with the HYX-57. Also used by non-tactical users for high-level communications in the local wideband telephone networks and wideband satellite terminals. The KY-57 is the manpack/vehicular model and the KY-58 is the airborne/shipborne version. The KY-57/58 is certified to pass data up to TOP SECRET and accepts key from the family of Common Fill Devices and also incorporates remote keying. KY-57/58 production was completed in 1993. No further production is planned. KY-58 photo by Tim Tyler Tim Tyler comments."The photo above depicts the KY-58 unit inside a USCG HH-65C 'Dolphin' helicopter taken in September 2008. It is currently configured just for use on their 225-400MHz aircraft band radio. Supposedly, they're in the process of upgrading the HH-65 helos into an MH-65 (Special Ops capable) configuration which will have APCO P-25 compliant radios (with AES crypto, for talking to other DHS agencies) as well as ANDVT / KY-100 type crypto for communicating with the military-side of USCG ops". The photo above depicts a KY-58 RCU installation in an A-10 attack aircraft.

IES 7.3.1 OBJECTIVES AND RELEVANCE Through this subject, Students can understand the physical concept of Radiation and they can relate real- world situations. They can learn about various types of antennas, its working principle and design. Since Hertz and Marconi, antennas have become increasingly important to our society until now they are indispensable. They are everywhere: at our homes and workplaces, on our cars and aircrafts. While our ships, satellites and spacecrafts bristle with them, even as pedestrians we carry them. “With mankind’s activities expanding into space, the need for antennas will grow to an unprecedented degree. Antennas will provide the vital links to and from everything out there. 7.3.2 SCOPE It gives about the basic concepts of the antenna parameters and also about the various antenna theorems in detail. Antennas are the basic components of any electric systems and are connecting links between the transmeter and free space and the receiver. Antenna place a vital role in finding the characteristics of the system in which antennas are employed. It gives in detail about the various types of microwave, VHF, and UHF antennas, their characteristics and the various applications.

  • Design of Cellular and GNSS Antenna for Iot Edge Device
    Master Thesis Master's Programme in Electronics Design, 60 credits Design of Cellular and GNSS Antenna for IoT Edge Device in collaboration with HMS Industrial Networks AB Electronics Engineering,15 credits Halmstad 2019-04-10 Ioannis Broumas HALMSTAD UNIVERSITY 60 Credits Author Ioannis Broumas Supervisor Johan Malm Examiner Pererik Andreasson School of Information Technology Halmstad University PO Box 823, SE-301 18 HALMSTAD Sweden 2 Abstract Antennas are one of the most sensitive elements in any wireless communication equipment. Designing small-profile, multiband and wideband internal antennas with a simple structure has become a necessary challenge. In this thesis, two planar antennas are designed, simulated and implemented on an effort to cover the LTE-M1 and NB-IoT radio frequencies. The cellular antenna is designed to receive and transmit data over the eight-band LTE700/GSM/UMTS, and the GNSS antenna is designed to receive signal from the global positioning system and global navigation systems, GPS (USA) and GLONASS. The antennas are suitable for direct print on the system circuit board of a device. Related theory and research work are discussed and referenced, providing a strong configuration for future use. Recommendations and suggestions on future work are also discussed. The proposed antenna system is more than promising and with further adjustments and refinement can lead to a fully working solution. 3 Στον αδελφό μου Μάκη 4 Contents 1.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.
