Humidity and temperature interact in breaking physical dormancy in Fabaceae seeds from the Brazilian semiarid region

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In semiarid ecosystems such as the Brazilian Caatinga, physical seed dormancy (PY) is critical for plant persistence when water is unpredictable, but how soil moisture and temperature regulate PY release and seed longevity in species of native Fabaceae that have different growth forms is unknown. Methods Seeds of the herbaceous species

On the Impact of Mechanical Constraint on Band Structure and Photo‐Elastic Effect in Photonic Resonators

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
We computationally investigate the mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of strained GeSn microdisks on silicon substrates. By combining photo‐elasticity, strain‐dependent band‐structure calculations, and optical mode analysis, we study how strain distribution, structural configuration, and temperature affect the electronic band structure and ...

Study on Fluid Pressure in Tubing, Dynamic Stress in Reservoir, and Fracture Propagation Morphology During Variable‐Rate Hydraulic Fracturing

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Variable‐rate hydraulic fracturing can induce unsteady flow in the tubing, thereby generating fluctuating fluid pressure near the bottom‐hole reservoir. Dynamic stress is generated in the reservoir under the action of fluctuating fluid pressure and propagates as stress waves.

Modeling and Statistical Characterization of Preliminary Breakdown Pulses in Negative Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Flashes

IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility
Preliminary Breakdown Pulses (PBPs) are electromagnetic signatures of the process occurring in the early stages of a Cloud-to-Ground (CG) lightning flash, leading to the initiation of the downward stepped leader followed by the first Return Stroke (RS) retracing the leader channel.

RSM–ANFIS‐Based Process Optimization of Thermo‐Sonication of Amla Juice: Effect on Enzyme Inactivation, Physico‐Chemical, Phytochemical, Sensory, and Microbiological Quality

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Thermo‐sonication parameters were optimized to maximize PPO inactivation while maintaining overall juice quality. ANFIS demonstrated superior predictive accuracy with higher R2 and lower RMSE compared to RSM. Further, the quality assessment of treated juice highlighted the potential of thermo‐sonication as a sustainable alternative to conventional ...

Longitudinal Swallowing and Salivary Changes With CLR 131 and Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) often present with severe, persistent dysphagia and xerostomia following prior chemoradiation. Although swallowing impairments and salivary dysfunction have been reported in this population, prior longitudinal studies have not examined changes in salivary composition or how these ...
