In-field wireless sensor network to predict rice blast (RICE-GUARD)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The RICE-GUARD monitoring system is a tool designed to assist rice-growers in their rice blast management decisions. Rice blast is the most serious disease of cultivated rice. It is caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea (Pyricularia oryzae Cav.), which in favourable conditions can produce yield losses of up to 100 %. The fungus affects all the rice-growing regions of the world, including all ric ...

Optimal Strategy to Innovate and Reduce energy consumption In urban rail Systems (OSIRIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"For many transport modes, energy reduction strategies can be effectively formulated at the level of the vehicle or vessel. New technologies can therefore be introduced to a vehicle and the direct energy savings can be readily quantified. However, such approach is not suitable to be employed for urban rail, where it is not sufficient to consider only the energy performance of vehicles; the energy ...
