Condiment paprika research in Australia

Australian condiment paprika plant improvement research is 10 years old. The production and processing industry is in its infancy. The research is producing condiment paprika cultivars suitable for a highly mechanised crop husbandry system, with genes for early lignification of the stem, fruits for detachability of the calyx, high dry matter and pigment content. A potential hybrid seed production system is discussed

Rules and regulations for the safeguard of water resources: examples from European, Italian and Albanian experiences

Water is a vital and precious resource for people and for ecosystems. We should make each possible effort to protect water resources and increase people’s access to clean and sufficient water. To pursue these purposes many efforts have been realised in terms of technical rules and national laws. This contribution describes the approach of the European Union, Italy and Albania, considering also some local government initiatives concerning the protection of water resources, in terms of availability and quality, and of ecosystems. Attention is given also to the effect of the whole water cycle management in terms of environmental protection and reduction of water-related natural disaster

The aim of this research is to reflect the real data with the approach of health services in the University Clinical Center of Kosovo and also have received different opinions from parents of children who have been hospitalized in the pediatrics clinic than they were satisfied with the provision of this clinical services offered.Keywords: health management, evaluation of satisfaction of patients to health services, Pediatrics Clinic

On the stability and spectrum of non-supersymmetric AdS(5) solutions of M-theory compactified on Kahler-Einstein spaces

Eleven-dimensional supergravity admits non-supersymmetric solutions of the form AdS(5)xM(6) where M(6) is a positive Kahler-Einstein space. We show that the necessary and sufficient condition for such solutions to be stable against linearized bosonic supergravity perturbations can be expressed as a condition on the spectrum of the Laplacian acting on (1,1)-forms on M(6). For M(6)=CP(3), this condition is satisfied, although there are scalars saturating the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. If M(6) is a product S(2)xM(4) (where M(4) is Kahler-Einstein) then there is an instability if M(4) has a continuous isometry. We show that a potential non-perturbative instability due to 5-brane nucleation does not occur. The bosonic Kaluza-Klein spectrum is determined in terms of eigenvalues of operators on M(6).Comment: 21 pages. v2: Includes SU(4) quantum numbers for CP3 case, typos fixed, refs adde
