Do Xylem Fibers Affect Vessel Cavitation Resistance? [PDF]
Abstract Possible mechanical and hydraulic costs to increased cavitation resistance were examined among six co-occurring species of chaparral shrubs in southern California. We measured cavitation resistance (xylem pressure at 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity), seasonal low pressure potential (P min), xylem conductive efficiency ...

Numerical simulation of grain-size effects on creep crack growth by means of grain elements [PDF]
The effect of grain size on creep crack growth is investigated by means of a numerical technique in which the actual crack growth process is simulated in a discrete manner by grain elements and grain boundary elements.

Cavitation wear of Eurofer 97, Cr18Ni10Ti and 42HNM alloys
The microstructure, hardness and cavitation wear of Eurofer 97, Cr18Ni10Ti and 42HNM have been investigated. It was revealed that the cavitation resistance of the 42HNM alloy is by an order of magnitude higher than that of the Cr18Ni10Ti steel and 16 ...

Optimization of leaf morphology in relation to leaf water status: A theory. [PDF]
The leaf economic traits such as leaf area, maximum carbon assimilation rate, and venation are all correlated and related to water availability. Furthermore, leaves are often broad and large in humid areas and narrower in arid/semiarid and hot and cold ...
