Comparison of Cold Hardiness Evaluation of Woody Species by ELLT and TTCLT

open access: yesHortScience, 2020
Cold hardiness evaluation is important for screening woody species in cold areas. We compared cold hardiness by estimating the 50% lethal temperature (LT50) using electrolyte leakage test (ELLT50) and triphenyltetrazolium chloride test (TTCLT50) for 26 ...

A Logical Calculus To Intuitively And Logically Denote Number Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Simple continued fractions, base-b expansions, Dedekind cuts and Cauchy sequences are common notations for number systems. In this note, first, it is proven that both simple continued fractions and base-b expansions fail to denote real numbers and thus ...

Improvement of fire reaction and mould growth resistance of a new bio-based thermal insulation material [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the present paper, the performance of an innovative thermal insulation rigid board is evaluated in terms of fire behaviour and fungal resistance. The board is based on vegetal pith and a natural gum (corn pith and sodium alginate) and it is completely
