Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for synthesizing, without a solvent, N-alkyl-glycosyl(di)amine derivatives represented by the following general formula (I): The invention also concerns the use of N-alkyl-glycosyl(di)amine derivatives represented by the general formula (I), and N-alkyl-glycosyl(di)ammonium quaternary salts represented by the general formula (II) and N-alkyl-glycamine derivatives represented by the general formula (III) obtained from N-alkyl-glycosyl(di)amine derivatives represented by the general formula (I), as antibacterial and/or antifungal agents against phytopathogens.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving efficiency of capturing images of documents at computers is provided. The method comprises receiving an instruction to obtain an image of a document using a mobile computer device comprising a camera; generating a unique parameterized uniform resource locator (URL) that has been assigned to the image of the document; sending, to a mobile computer device, the URL using a messaging service and receiving, from the mobile computer device, an invocation of the image capture function specifying the GUID; uploading, from the mobile computer device, the image file; storing the image file in association with the GUID; in response to the instruction to obtain the image of the document, sending the image file to the first computer device.
