Quinoa Phenological Development Modeling Based on Field Data [PDF]
IntroductionClimate change is rapidly degrading the conditions of crop production. For instance, increasing salinization and aridity is forecasted to increase in most parts of the world. As a consequence, new stress-tolerant species and genotypes must be

Evaluation methodologies of damage related issues for heat exchangers in the thermal storage energy system [PDF]
Thermal oil is used as a heat transfer fluid in many thermal solar power systems, while molten salts are used to store thermal energy. The oil absorbs solar energy and transports it to a water-steam cycle via heat exchangers, where it is transformed into

Genome-wide signatures in flax pinpoint to adaptive evolution along its ecological gradient
Background: Flax is one of the eight founder crops of agriculture. It is believed to have been domesticated as a long-day plant that has since spread to survive in a wide range of eco-geographic regions extending from the warm Indian subcontinent to the ...

Search for genetic markers for selection and breeding aimed at increasing birth weight of piglets
With the intensive increase in the fertility traits of sows, the problem of decreasing the weight of piglets at birth has arisen. In this connection, the search for genetic variants associated with the birth weight of piglets is of particular relevance ...

Resonance Phenomenon and Structural Properties of Fe Substituted Pzt Ceramics Prepared by Sol-Gel Method [PDF]
In this paper, Pb1-xFex(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PFZT) nanopowders, with x from 0.00 up to 0.20, were synthesized by using the sol-gel method. The PFZT samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM),

Plotting Lamb waves dispersion curves of an aluminum plate by the Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) method and comparison with analytical curves [PDF]
It is well known that the propagation of Lamb waves in elastic solid medias depends on the frequency and on the material properties, but it does not depend on the propagation direction in isotropic medias and gives rise to two basic types of modes ...
