Detection of Bois noir phytoplasma in the vectoring ciciid Hyalethes obsoletus.
Bois noir is a yellow disease of grapevines (Vitis vinifera) caused by phytoplasmas belonging to the class 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani'. These phytoplasmas live mostly on bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica). By accident they are transmitted by the ciciid Hyalesthes obsoletus to V. ...

Expression of Vitis vinifera genes during downy mildew infection
Plasmopara viticola, an oomycete causing downy mildew of grapevines (Vitis vinifera), is one of the major pathogenes in grape production in many grape growing regions world wide. We are interested in genes of V. vinifera expressed during the first 24 h post inoculation.

Zero Emission Buildings: Integrating Sustainable Technologies and Infrastructure Systems
So-called “Zero-Emission” buildings (ZEB) do not produce harmful emissions. In contrast, they may even have positive environmental impacts because they can produce energy, water and resources. Decentralized innovative technologies and systems for the realization of ZEB were developed and successfully applied in ...

Ecological expertise for a micro-hydro unit in St. Moritz
St. Moritz Energy will try to use water which leaks in the area Sur Chaunt Blais for producing electricity with a micro-hydro turbine. The idea is not new, since old documents and project plans as well as existing water intakes fwere found, showing similar considerations in the seventies. The area shows from the ...

Service Allocation Model for Non-medical Support Services
LemoS illustrates the scope of Facility Management in Healthcare (FM in HC) and is based on the SN EN 15221-4 norm. The Service Allocation Model for non-medical Support Services in Hospitals (LemoS) was developed in interdisciplinary consortial collaboration with partners in business and science. As new finding ...

Service Catalogue for Non-medical Support Services in Hospitals (LekaS)
For a long time, little attention had been given to the non-medical support services in hospitals. The importance of Facility / Infrastructure Management became clear after the introduction of SwissDRG and the resulting sensitivity to effectiveness and cost. Especially when taking a more exact, holistic approach to ...

Quality of Sustainable Office Buildings
Sustainability is gaining a rapidly increasingly importance in the field of real estate. Innovations in energy optimizing technologies and construction change the ecological impact of building construction and operation. Currently, however, it is unclear how such changes affect the users of these buildings. The ...

modularCity
The mayor aim of modularCity was to support spatial planning processes with social dimensions and perspectives. The “Markthallenareal” of the city of Langenthal (BE) served as a case study and validation site. Therefore, the modularCity extension was developed to turn the planning software framework Urban ROJ ...
