It refers to a set (1) that is composed of a box (2) formed by the base (4), which houses a pair of supports (3) designed to support the structure (ES) of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. The box (2) has vertical grooves (5) on the outer face, which turn into reinforcing ribs (6) on the inside. The base (4) has a central sectioning (7) that creates two housings (8A) and (8B) for the filling of ballast (L); the upper perimeter (S) of the base (4) is formed by an edge (9) which, on the rear face (P), is raised (10) and features a horizontal edge (9A) and a curved edge (9B) with three holes (F1). The edge (9) becomes a slanted edge (9C) on the front face (F); the pair of supports (3) has an edge (11) at the bottom (IN) with a curve (11A) aligned with the curved edge (9B) of the base. This curved edge has 90° folds at the ends, forming two flaps (12) and contains equidistant holes (F2) as well as end housings (13) for rods (14) that connect the supports. Each flap (12) also has holes (F3) and is closed laterally by a plate (15) with longitudinal channels (16) that reinforce the structure.

The present disclosure provides a glutamic acid-metal complex, where the metal is a magnesium ion or a calcium ion. The present disclosure further provides a use of the glutamic acid-metal complex for enhancing plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and for aiding damaged plants in resuming growth, flowering, and fruiting. By using the glutamic acid-metal complex of the present disclosure, plants' adaptability to environmental stresses can be enhanced, and crop yield can be improved with significantly reduced adverse effects on the plants themselves or on the environment.

The present disclosure provides an amino acid-cobalt complex, where the amino acid is glutamic acid or aspartic acid. The present disclosure further provides a use of the aforementioned amino acid-cobalt complex for preparing antibacterial or antiviral compositions; the use of the amino acid-cobalt complex of the present disclosure or the composition prepared therefrom can effectively inhibit the activity of various pathogenic bacteria or viruses. Furthermore, based on the characteristics of the single amino acid and its chelated metal ion, it enhances safety during individual use while providing effective antibacterial or antiviral activity.

Process for replacing a worn or defective rail section (7) of a metro-railway line (100), which provides for remotely forming a replacement rail section (5) by carrying out, on a dedicated straight welding track, a series of flash-butt welds (3) between precisely aligned standard-length rail bars (4); on site, adapting the curvature of the replacement rail section (5) to the curvature of the line (100) in the worn or defective rail section (7) if the line (100) in the worn or defective rail section (7) includes at least one curve; cutting the replacement rail section (5) to size; and replacing the worn or defective rail section (7) by joining its ends to the rail still in place by means of aluminothermic welds (12).

Method for monitoring and managing defects (1) in the rails (2) and switches of a metro-railway line, which provides a first new scan of at least a section of the metro-railway line performed by a first ultrasonic sensor system mounted on a motorized rolling vehicle moving continuously along said section of the metro-railway line to detect indications of potential defects (1), a creation of a database containing at least information regarding the positions and the probable sizes of the indicated potential defects (1), the overlapping and comparison of these indications of potential defects with similar indications from any previous scans to distinguish new indications, a second new scan of all positions of the indicated potential defect (1) listed in the database, both new and from any previous scans, using a second portable ultrasonic sensor system for final confirmation of the defects and separation of false indications or false positives, the assignment of a class to the confirmed defects (1), an association in said database between the confirmed defects (1) and their respective classes, an association in said database of a dedicated intervention type for each classified defect (1), a dedicated intervention for each classified defect (1), and an association in said database of an outcome for each dedicated intervention.
