WSP is devoted to regulating applied braking forces to avoid excessive wheel sliding in case of degraded adhesion conditions between wheel and rail. WSP must be also compliant to safety specifications related to assured braking performances and consumed air. Hardware in the loop(HIL) testing offers an affordable and sustainable way to accelerate these activities optimizing cost, duration and safety of experimental activities performed online. HIL test rigs are subjected to continuous updates, customization and natural ageing of their components. This work investigates the criteria that can be adopted to assure a continuous monitoring and validation of a real WSP test rig, the Italian test rig of Firenze Osmannoro.展开更多

Wolbachia infection induces a range of host phenotypes, including cytoplasmic incompatibility, male killing, feminization and thelytoky induction. Heterogony (cyclical parthenogenesis) is a remarkable characteristic of oak gall wasps, Cynipini, which is the largest tribe in Cynipidae. A few species of Cynipini are exceptionally,which are univoltine and exhibit thelytokous parthenogenesis, probably due to deletion of the arrhenotokous generation from their heterogonic ancestor species with Wolbachia infection. In this study, the presence of Wolbachia was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers for the wsp genes in a thelytokous species (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) of the Cynipini. The wsp characteristic 617 bp product was obtained after amplification of extracts from Zhuzhou population. The sequence clearly conformed to Wolbachia group A and was nearly identical to that of Plagiotrochus quercusilicis. The possible implications of Wolbachia infection in the gallwasp are discussed.展开更多
