The aim behind this research was to determine whether the use of this mixture would enhance the efficiency of pesticides while decreasing the recommended dose. Naturally infected tomato plants, grown in the greenhouse, were treated with two commonly used fungicides SWITCH （Syngenta, Switzerland） and SIGNUM （BASF, Germany） each alone or combined with a commercially available organic sanitizer PERACLEAN？5 （Evonik Industries, Germany）. A total of 27 treatments were tested consisting of three concentrations of synthetic fungicide （×1, ×1/2 and ×1/4 of the recommended dose） either applied separately or combined with three concentrations of the tested sanitizer （0.5, 1 and 1.5％）. The control efficacy achieved by the fungicides applied alone ranged between 0 and 66.7％ while all fungicide-sanitizer mixtures resulted in up to 70％ control of grey mould. The treatment that provides the maximum control of B. cinerea was the result mixture of ×1/4 of the recommended concentration of SWITCH （15 g L-1） with 0.5％ of PERACLEAN？5. This combination suppressed 85％ of grey mold infections while decreasing the usually used amount of this pesticide by 75％, reducing therefore the well known negative impacts of chemical pesticides on environment and consumers health.展开更多

In this paper we subject a single-degree-of-freedom system, consisting of spring and damper, to an earthquake excitation, and meanwhile investigate the response behavior from a novel theory about the dynamical system, by viewing the time-varying signum function of It can reflect the characteristic property of each earthquake through and the second component of f, where is a time-sampling record of the acceleration of a ground motion. The barcode is formed by plotting with respect to time. We analyze the complex jumping behavior in a barcode and an essential property of a high percentage occupation of the first set of dis-connectivity in the barcode from four strong earthquake records: 1940 El Centro earthquake, 1989 Loma earthquake, and two records of 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake. Through the comparisons of four earthquakes, we can observe that strong earthquake leads to large percentage of the first set of dis-connectivity.展开更多
