Numerical Simulation of Thermal Stratification in Cold Legs by Using OpenFOAM
*,† During a small-break loss-of-coolant accident in pressurized water reactors (PWRs), emergency core cooling system (ECCS) is actuated and cold water is injected into cold legs. Insufficient mixing of injected cold water and hot primary coolant results in thermal stratification, which is a matter of concern for evaluation of pressurized thermal shock

Stratification requirements for seed dormancy alleviation in a wetland weed. [PDF]
Echinochloaoryzicola(syn.E. phyllopogon) is an exotic weed of California rice paddies that has evolved resistance to multiple herbicides. Elimination of seedlingsthroughcertain weed control methods can limit the spread of this weed, but is contingent on ...

New insight into stratification of anaerobic methanotrophs in cold seep sediments [PDF]
Methane seepages typically harbor communities of anaerobic methane oxidizers (ANME); however, knowledge about fine-scale vertical variation of ANME in response to geochemical gradients is limited. We investigated microbial communities in sediments below a white microbial mat in the G11 pockmark at Nyegga by 16S rRNA gene tag pyrosequencing and real ...

Optimizing Seed Germination and Seedling Growth in Different Kiwifruit Genotypes
The presence of dormant embryos in seeds and nonuniformity in seedling growth are the main limiting factors for kiwifruit propagation. Studies on the germination of hybrid genotypes are limited, especially at different ploidy levels.

Predicting the consequences of global warming on Gentiana lutea germination at the edge of its distributional and ecological range [PDF]
Background Temperature is the main environmental factor controlling seed germination; it determines both the percentage and the rate of germination. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the global mean surface temperature could ...

Comparison of acid scarification, stratification and endocarp removal on seed germination of three olive cultivars [PDF]
Present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of chemical scarification (Sulphuric acid 97% for 0, 3, 6 and 9 h at 25°C), removal of endocarp and cold stratification (0, 21 and 31 days at 10°C) treatments on percentage and rate of seed germination ...
