Abstract: The disclosure relates to dicarbonyl complexes of ruthenium and osmium with bi- and tridentate nitrogen and phosphine ligands. The disclosure relates to methods for preparing these complexes and the use of these complexes, isolated or prepared in situ, as catalysts for reduction reactions of ketones and aldehydes both via transfer hydrogenation or hydrogenation with hydrogen.

Abstract: A new grapevine variety distinguished by its leaf blistering, length of teeth, blade size, bunch length, area of anthocyanin coloration of main veins on upper side of blade of mature leaf, goffering of blade of mature leaf, resistance to downy and powdery mildew and winterhardiness.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating and processing compressed sensor data. Sensor signals can be collected using one or more sensors. The sensor signals can be compressed using a compression data structure. In some instances, the compressed signal corresponds to a sampling rate at or below the Nyquist sampling rate. The compressed signal can be compared to one or more templates. Events within the compressed signal can be detected and characterized based on the comparison.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an innovative food product, made exclusively with ingredients of natural, non-animal origin to make a substitute for a traditional hard-boiled egg. In particular, the invention concerns a substitute product for a hard-boiled egg and the method for its production, a method which allows to accurately reproduce the appearance, consistency and flavor of a traditional hard-boiled egg.

Abstract: A Waste-to-Energy plant comprising: an incineration chamber in which waste is combusted generating flue gas; an economizer heating feedwater using heat from the flue gas; an evaporator producing steam from the heated feedwater using heat from the flue gas; a steam drum receiving heated feedwater from the economizer and supplying heated feedwater, the steam drum receiving steam from the evaporator and supplying steam; and a superheater receiving and heating steam from the steam drum to a superheated steam using heat from the flue gas; the incineration chamber comprising a first PCM-wall and a second PCM-wall each comprising a plurality of pipes and a layer of PCM provided between the pipes and the incineration chamber, the pipes in the first PCM-wall receiving heated feedwater from the steam drum and producing additional steam therein and the pipes of the second PCM-wall additionally heating steam therein using radiant heat from the incineration chamber.

Abstract: A new grape variety distinguished by its high vigour, circular shaped leaves, medium weight fruit clusters, early-medium harvesting time (end of August in northeastern Italy), green dorsal and ventral internodes, and resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew.

Abstract: A new grape variety distinguished by its strong blistering of the upper side of the leaf blade, cuneiform shaped leaves, fruit cluster of medium bunch density with 3-4 wings, medium harvesting time (early September in northeastern Italy), and resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew.

Abstract: A new grape variety distinguished by its high vigour with a semi-erect growth habit, low-medium blistering of the upper side of the leaf blade, circular shaped leaves, fruit clusters of medium or medium-large bunch density with 3-4 wings, medium harvesting time (early September in northeastern Italy), and resistance to downy mildew.

Abstract: A new grape variety distinguished by its resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew, strong blistering on the upper side of the leaf blade, early-medium harvesting time (end of August in northeastern Italy), and semi-erect shoot attitude.

Abstract: A new female kiwi plant named ‘AC 501 022’, distinguished by its oblong fruit with dark brown hairless skin and yellow flesh. The fruit is very sweet with low acidity, and matures relatively early.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved processes for the preparation of ruthenium or osmium complexes comprising acetate ligands, in particular, ruthenium complexes.

Abstract: A new class of ligands derived from benzo[h]quinoline are described and these ligands are used to prepare several novel transition metal complexes. The complexes are preferably of the group VIII transition metals iron, ruthenium or osmium, with the benzo[h]quinolone ligands acting as tridentate ligands. The complexes described are proved to be very active catalysts for the reduction of ketones and aldehydes to alcohols, via hydrogen transfer and hydrogenation reactions. These compounds hence can be usefully employed as catalysts in said reduction reactions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in body fluids, preferably in blood and lymph. In particular, the method for detecting circulating tumor cells in a body fluid comprises a step of detecting a change in pH and/or in a concentration of at least one molecule selected from lactic acid, lactate ions and protons within an isolated volume of said body fluid in which a cell has been encapsulated.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine named ‘CABERNET VOLOS’, primarily suited to the growing conditions of the temperate regions, and characterized by its medium vigor; semi-erect growth habit; medium, pentagonal to circular shaped leaves; short-medium, dense, cylindrical berry clusters; dark blue berries with soft to slightly firm berry flesh, herbaceous taste, and no flesh coloration; and resistance to winter temperatures (to ?24° C.), resistance to downy mildew, and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine, primarily suited to the growing conditions of the temperate regions, and characterized by its medium-strong vigor; horizontal growth habit; medium-sized, wedge-shaped to circular-shaped leaves; very low to low weight berry clusters; berries with slightly firm flesh, neutral taste, and no flesh coloration; primarily used for wine; and resistance to winter temperatures (to ?24° C.), resistance to downy mildew, and tolerance to powdery mildew.
