    Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the basal clades of fungi are poorly known. Recent DNA based taxonomic studies have provided reliable and accurate information. It is therefore necessary to compile all available information since basal clades genera lack updated checklists or outlines. Recently, Tedersoo et al. (MycoKeys 13:1--20, 2016) accepted Aphelidiomycota and Rozellomycota in Fungal clade. Thus, we regard both these phyla as members in Kingdom Fungi. We accept 16 phyla in basal clades viz. Aphelidiomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Caulochytriomycota, Chytridiomycota, Entomophthoromycota, Glomeromycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucoromycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Olpidiomycota, Rozellomycota and Zoopagomycota. Thus, 611 genera in 153 families, 43 orders and 18 classes are provided with details of classification, synonyms, life modes, distribution, recent literature and genomic data. Moreover, Catenariaceae Couch is proposed to be conserved, Cladochytriales Mozl.-Standr. is emended and the family Nephridiophagaceae is introduced

    A selection of papers presented at the Eighth International Bologna Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Porous Media, 10-14 September 2006, University of Bologna, Italy. This special issue of the online Journal Diffusion Fundamentals contains a number of contributions presented at the Eighth International Bologna Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Porous Media, held in Bologna from 10 to 14 September 2006. The idea to publish this special issue was evoked shortly after the Conference as the large number of original and high quality contributions could not be published in the traditional printed Proceedings issue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging because of space limitations. The Editorial Board of the online Journal decided to support the idea and to devote the issue to Giulio Cesare Borgia, professor of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Bologna, founder and promoter of the Magnetic Resonance in Porous Media (MRPM) Conferences, who died unexpectedly from a sudden illness in September 2002. Paola Fantazzini was asked to be guest editor. The idea was discussed within the Steering Committee and accepted with great enthusias

    Experimental investigation of the role of soot volatile organic fraction in the regeneration of diesel filters

    This paper involves an experimental investigation of the role of the volatile organic fraction (VOF) adsorbed on the diesel particulate, in the initiation of regeneration of a SiC diesel filter installed on a modern diesel engine, run on catalytic additive-doped fuel. VOF adsorption-desorption and oxidation behaviour is mainly determined by performing a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of samples collected directly from a SiC filter installed on the engine running under low- and medium-speed and low- and medium-load conditions, as more representative of city driving. Based on the TGA analysis results, the percentage VOF content in soot was calculated and mapped as a function of engine speed and load in the range of investigation. The effect of adsorbed hydrocarbons on the regeneration behaviour was assessed by comparing regeneration experiments with the stepwise load increase for a filter loaded with soot at different VOF concentration levels. The appearance of a number of incidents of stochastic regeneration behaviour during loading at low exhaust temperatures with a relative high VOF content was observed and discussed. An effort was made to correlate regeneration rate with the VOF content in soot and the prevailing engine operation point during loading. This work aims at better understanding of diesel filter behaviour with modern diesel engines and also aims to support improved modelling of fuel-additive assisted regeneration by use of fuel additives at low temperatures (150-400degreesC)
