Influence of irrigation conditions in the germination of plasma treated Nasturtium seeds [PDF]
Plasma treatments had emerged as a useful technique to improve seed germination. In this work we investigate the influence of different irrigation conditions and plasma treatments on the germination of nasturtium seeds.

Nitrification amplifies the decreasing trends of atmospheric oxygen and implies a larger land carbon uptake [PDF]
[1] Atmospheric O-2 trend measurements are used to partition global oceanic and land biotic carbon sinks on a multiannual basis. The underlying principle is that a terrestrial uptake or release of CO2 is accompanied by an opposite flux of O-2.

A model of heart rate kinetics in response to exercise
We present a mathematical model, in the form of two coupled ordinary differential equations, for the heart rate kinetics in response to exercise. Our heart rate model is an adaptation of the model of oxygen uptake kinetics of Stirling: a physiological ...

Effects of verbal encouragement on performance of the multistage 20 m shuttle run
Exertion tests for predicting maximal oxygen uptake (VO2) intend to estimate the person maximum performance. Some articles mention the verbal encouragement in their protocol to reach it, while others do not.

Improving control of duponchelia fovealis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by rooting media related strategies [PDF]
Soil-dwelling predatory mites can be very effective as biological control agents against larvae of the lepidopteral pest Duponchelia fovealis. Some growing media were reported to have natural high level and stable populations of predatory mite.

Dynamic regulation of erythropoiesis: A computer model of general applicability [PDF]
A mathematical model for the control of erythropoiesis was developed based on the balance between oxygen supply and demand at a renal oxygen detector which controls erythropoietin release and red cell production.
