The level of N₂-fixation of different genotypes of winter pea in comparison to spring pea in pure and mixed stands

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2011
In contrast to the common spring pea (SP), little is known about the capacity of winter peas (WP) for sym­biotic N2 fixation in pure and mixed stands. Therefore, seven WP genotypes and one semi-leafless SP in pure stands and two mixtures with cereals (25%

Solution‐Processed Thin‐Film Transistors With Tunable Temporal Dynamics for Neuromorphic Computing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solution‐processed CNT and CNT/P3HT ion‐gated transistors exhibit materials‐defined synaptic timescales: fast CNT devices for high‐frequency spiking and slow hybrid devices for temporal integration. Embedding these dynamics into coupled reservoir‐computing and spiking neural network simulations reveals that a Hybrid‐Reservoir / CNT‐SNN architecture ...

The Effects of Different Rotations of Beans, Maize, and Cabbage on Soil Moisture and Economic Benefits

Agronomy
The article investigates the effects of different cropping rotations on soil moisture and economic benefit. Cabbage–maize–cabbage (CMC), beans–maize–cabbage (BMC), and cabbage–cabbage–cabbage (CCC) treatments were set up to study the effects of different
