DEM and soil bin study on a biomimetic disc furrow opener
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2019 To reduce the resistance and energy consumption of disc furrow openers, biomimetic coupling disc furrow openers (BCDFOs) that were inspired by digging animals (e.g., the convex hull of a dung beetle pronotum and the back-ridge scales of a pangolin) were ...

Simulation of the effect of irrigation with Saline-sodic water on Soil infiltration Rate changes with Kostiakov and Philip's infiltration model [PDF]
رویکردهای نوین در مهندسی آب و محیط زیست, 2023 In order to evaluating effects of irrigation with saline-sodic water, we conducted three infiltration experiments in clay-loam soil in end-close furrow. We were using 5cm water depth every week, which had EC=12 ds/m and SAR=32. Experiments were done with

Influence of tied-ridge-furrow with inorganic fertilizer on grain yield across semiarid regions of Asia and Africa: A meta-analysis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background In semiarid areas, low productivity of crops has been attributed to lack of appropriate soil moisture conservation practices since droughts and soil erosion are rampant in most areas of this region.

Embryo-scale epithelial buckling forms a propagating furrow that initiates gastrulation
Nature Communications, 2021 Cell apical constriction driven by actomyosin contraction forces is a conserved mechanism during tissue folding in embryo development. While much is now understood of the molecular mechanism responsible for apical constriction and of the tissue-scale ...

Epigenetic inheritance, epimutation, and the response to selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There has been minimal theoretical exploration of the role of epigenetic variation in the response to natural selection. Using a population genetic model, I derive formulae that characterize the response of epigenetic variation to selection over multiple
