AbstractThe vine breeding of varieties resistant to two major pathogens (mildew and powdery mildew) underpins the promise of a pesticide-free viticulture. Numerous questions appear while professionals try to plant these varietal innovations in their vineyard: what is a good grape variety? Can we produce good wines with these ‘new’ varieties that fit our expectations for taste, quality, their capacity to adapt to our terroirs, etc.? Going faster is a challenge for growers who want to test new production methods associated with new markets. In that context, testing these varieties is a necessity. This paper focuses on one of these specific tests conducted in the Languedoc Wine Region (France). Technicians, scientists and economic players in this sector all together organise the testing in order to distribute the first experimental plants through regional winegrowers. To analyse what qualifies a good experimentation, I follow how actors formulate their concerns and what they take into account in such situations. Using a theoretical framework derived from the Science and Technology Studies (STS), I describe how relations between professionals and objects are transformed as they face uncertainties in their efforts to achieve the promise of a more sustainable viticulture.

Abstract A simple model of behaviour of a single particle on the bulging membrane was presented. As a result of numerical solution of a motion equation the influence of the amplitude and frequency of bulging as well as the particle size on particle behaviour, especially its downstream velocity was investigated. It was found that the bulging of a membrane may increase the mean velocity of a particle or reinforce its diffusive behaviour, dependeing on the permeation velocity. The obtained results may help to design new production methods of highly fouling-resistant membranes.

Turkey as well as in the developing world science, technology and the changing rural development and manufacturing approach accordingly with industry, has changed the shape of the realization of agricultural activities. As a result of new production methods, environmental and human health deteriorated and scientists have turned to organic agriculture. Organic farming practices, which started in the 1980s in our country, have improved significantly with the publication of the organic farming regulation in 1994 and the regulation was last regulated in 2018. Our country with conditions favourable for organic agriculture in terms of soil and water resources, climate, variety of products, this study was prepared in order to see how organic agriculture has progressed over the years and at what stage it is today. In 1990, 8 organic products were produced in Turkey with 313 farmers in an area of 1,037 ha. According to the latest data 73,563 farmers have grown 2,371,612 tons of organic products in 626,885 ha organic agriculture area. In addition, the organic product range produced was increased to 213. When we look at the export situation, it is seen that the total export amount is 111,690,675 tons and a significant amount of this export amount is 41.633,896 tons of wheat and wheat products. Looking at the import data, it is known that the total import amount is 175,865,85 tons and the most imported product is soybeans (non-seed) (99,446 tons). Although a significant increase in organic agriculture production has been observed compared to previous years, it is anticipated that this increase may increase even further considering Turkey's agricultural potential.

Cyclic peptides are widespread throughout the plant kingdom, and display diverse sequences, structures and bioactivities. The potential applications attributed to these peptides and their unusual biosynthesis has captivated the attention of researchers for many years. Several gene sequences for plant cyclic peptides have been discovered over the last two decades but it is only recently that we are beginning to understand the intricacies associated with their biosynthesis. Recent studies have focussed on three main classes of plant derived cyclic peptides, namely orbitides, SFTI related peptides and cyclotides. In this mini-review, we discuss the expansion of the known sequence and structural diversity in these families, insights into the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis, the exciting applications which includes a cyclotide currently in clinical trials for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, and new production methods that are being developed to realise the potential of plant cyclic peptides as pharmaceutical or agricultural agents.

Capitalism has promoted and requires the growing knowledge of entrepreneurs, creative people who have the ability to solve problems in the form of innovation. The types of enterprises they create can be social, public and private. By creating an enterprising company new products and new production methods can be introduced, new markets are open, new sources of raw materials and inputs are developed and new market structures in an industry are created. Entrepreneurship can be taught, the question is how to do it. Teaching entrepreneurship should go beyond the business plan. It proposes a form that overcomes the mistakes found by the author in two research studies in 2008 and 2014 in the programs of management in Bogotá.

Modern metallurgical industry consists of many of supporting and main plants, which require constant material investments. The issue of saving material resources, raw materials, etc., as well as reducing the expenditure coefficient of the metal, optimization and flexibility of production, is an important part for metallurgical companies in the conditions of economic instability in the industrial sector. This article describes the newly developed methods for the production of expandable electric welded pipes from two sheets (double-seam). An assessment of the feasibility of implementing the developed methods was made for the production of large diameter double-seam pipes, using modern engineering analysis methods, based on the finite element method (FEM). Technological modes of shaping were selected to produce products that meet customer requirements. The article describes the results of the experimental work, assesses the convergence of the results obtained using CAE-systems and the experimental work in the plant. The developed mathematical models for the production of pipe billets in the main shaping operations have high convergence and can be used in the calculation of new sizes. The use of the developed mathematical models in the specialized software package MSC Software allows evaluating new technological modes and various production methods without risks and financial losses. The proposed new methods for the production of large-diameter double-seam pipes (forming a sheet from two halves and forming a half cylinder) increased productivity and flexibility of production, and also had a positive economic efficiency, due to lower costs for sheet billet. New production methods have proved their working ability and have proved the possibility of practical application (production of an experimental batch).

The article shows that the success of a production system depends on the ability to effectively change its internal structure in connection with any change in demand or technology. Investing in a new production system as well as modifying an existing system requires informed decisions. Moreover, in a competitive envi-ronment, one of the key decisions that a manufacturing enterprise must make is the selection of appropriate manufacturing systems. The main feature of a flexible manufacturing system, which helps differentiate it from conventional manufacturing systems, is its ability to respond effectively to changes in product type through different flexibilities. Flexible manufacturing systems are well used in the manufacturing world as well as in all industries. Basic information about this technology is very important, because a flexible production system is involved in almost everything that is needed in the modern world.
