Water and radiation use efficiencies of irrigated biomass sorghum in a Mediterranean environment
Biomass sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a crop that can be used for energy production in the bioethanol chain and a greater knowledge of its potential and response to irrigation water levels could help to assess its potential diffusion in ...

Dissipation Factors of Spherical Current Modes on Multiple Spherical Layers
Radiation efficiencies of modal current densities distributed on a spherical shell are evaluated in terms of dissipation factor. The presented approach is rigorous, yet simple and straightforward, leading to closed-form expressions.

The potential for photosynthesis in hydrothermal vents: a new avenue for life in the Universe?
We perform a quantitative assessment for the potential for photosynthesis in hydrothermal vents in the deep ocean. The photosynthetically active radiation in this case is from geothermal origin: the infrared thermal radiation emitted by hot water, at ...

Recognizing production options for pearl millet in Pakistan under changing climate scenarios
Climate change is making the lands a harsher environment all over the world including Pakistan. It is expected to oppose us with three main challenges: increase in temperature up to 2–5°C (heat stress), increasing water stress and severe malnourishment ...

Radiation interception and radiation use efficiency in mixtures of winter cover crops
Abstract Context Cover crops are sown in autumn after harvest of a main crop to capture residual nitrogen and to build biomass that will contribute to soil organic matter after being ploughed under. Mixtures are purportedly more productive than pure stands of single species.

Radiation Use Efficiency and Soil Water Content on Maize-mungbean Intercropping [PDF]
Mungbean is traditionally intercropped with maize by small-scale farmers which do widely in the tropics, including Southeast Sulawesi. This study aims to assess the radiation use efficiency (RUE) and soil water content (SWC) in maize intercropped with
