Genetic, chemical, and physical predispositions of new maize inbred lines and hybrids with efficient photosynthesis [PDF]
This study confirmed our hypothesis that new maize inbred lines and hybrids derived from them had a dominant property of an efficient photosynthetic model. This property is successfully used in breeding programmes, modern technologies of the seed, and

Institutional Change and Discontinuities in Farmers' Use of Hybrid Maize Seed and Fertilizer in Malawi: Findings from the 1996-97 CIMMYT/ MoALD Survey [PDF]
This study records the use of hybrid maize seed and fertilizer by small-scale farmers in Malawi, as well as their opinions about these inputs, from 1989-90 through 1996-97. Its main purpose is to determine whether the principal constraint to smallholders

Enhanced Two‐Photon Excited Emission of Quantum Emitters by Colloidal Plasmonic Metasurfaces
Colloidal plasmonic metasurfaces presenting a completely exposed optical cavity are fabricated via templated self‐assembling silver nanoparticles into squared arrays on top of a thin film of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots. The resulting structure promotes the enhancement of the two‐photon absorption and emission processes of the quantum emitter by exploiting ...

A novel approach for direct sensing of viral RNA is proposed, allowing PCR‐free detection of viral RNA from genomic material, and variants screening by discrimination of polymorphic amplicons. The device is a cost‐effective, user‐friendly platform suitable for both mass screening kits and as a laboratory tool for an optimized management of resources ...

THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE CONDITIONS ON MAIZE YIELD IN THE SOUTHEREN PART OF SERBIA [PDF]
Precipitation and temperatures are of particular importance for maize production. The aim of these studies was to analyze the yields of different maize hybrids in years that were both favorable and unfavorable for their production.

Temperature and pressure sensing are critical for human‐machine interaction applications, allowing robots to identify objects and surface characteristics for safe and precise manipulation. A multilayered robotic skin integrating pressure and temperature sensors is developed to enable simultaneous real‐time detection.

Optimal Experimental Design of Field Trials using Differential Evolution [PDF]
When setting up field experiments, to test and compare a range of genotypes (e.g. maize hybrids), it is important to account for any possible field effect that may otherwise bias performance estimates of genotypes. To do so, we propose a model-based method aimed at optimizing the allocation of the tested genotypes and checks between fields and ...

Growth response to temperature of two maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids with differing levels of cold tolerance : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science (Seed Technology), Massey University [PDF]
Low temperatures are a hazard to maize production especially in high altitude and high latitude areas (Eagles, 1979; Hardacre and Eagles, 1986) where it may cause substantial yield reductions through its accumulated effect on vegetative and reprodutive ...
