Relationship between Chilling Accumulation and Heat Requirement for Flowering in Peach Varieties of Different Chilling Requirements

open access: yesAgronomy
Previous studies have shown a negative correlation between chilling accumulation (CA) and heat requirements (HRs) in peaches (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), consistent with findings in other plants in spring events.

A Simulative Approach for the Prediction of Mesoscale Residual Stress Fields in Solution‐Strengthened Ferritic Ductile Iron

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a 3D representative volume element‐based simulation approach to predict mesoscopic residual stress and strain fields in silicon solid solution‐strengthened ductile cast iron. By modeling phase transformation kinetics with an enhanced Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov model, the effects of varying cooling rates on residual stresses are ...

Final-Offer Arbitration and Public-Safety Employees: The Massachusetts Experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
[Excerpt] We conclude that, in terms of its impact on the bargaining process, final-offer arbitration has had a mixed record in Massachusetts. On the one hand, the law must probably be given some credit for preventing police and firefighter strikes; in ...

Mechanical Behavior and Microstructural Changes Associated with Tensile Deformation above the Martensite Start Temperature during Quenching and Subsequent Partitioning of a Low‐Alloy 37SiB6 Steel

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A new experimental setup, incorporating digital image correlation and infrared thermography in combination with inductive‐conductive heating for precise temperature control, is used to analyze the mechanical behavior and microstructural changes of sheet metal under complex thermomechanical test conditions that represent quench and partitioning ...

The Effect of Cold and Drought Stresses on Yield, Yield Components and Water Use Efficiency of some Corn Hybrids (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

open access: yesIkufīziyuluzhī-i Giyāhān-i Zirā̒ī, 2017
Cold and drought stresses are considered as the most important factors limiting crop production. To evaluate the effect of these tow stresses on yield and yield components of corn hybrids, a field experiment was implemented in split plots based on a ...

Can a \u27Dumb Ass Woman\u27 Achieve Equality in the Workplace? Running the Gauntlet of Hostile Environment Harassing Speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Sandra Bundy may have guessed that her new job with the District of Columbia Department of Corrections would be a challenge. What she may not have expected was that she would have to meet the challenge under very different conditions than those faced by ...
