Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Who Can Afford to Fail? Investigating Science Students' Perceptions of Failure Through the Lens of Their Identities

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scientists agree that learning to cope with failures is an important skill for science students to develop, and students who participate in science research often have positive outcomes after coping with science failures. However, the experience of failure in undergraduate science education more broadly seems to have an overall negative impact

Development of a Systematic Inspection and Evaluation Method for the Bearing Capacity of Dry-Hanging Stone Systems Based on Hardness Testing

Advances in Civil Engineering
By applying the Schmidt hammer rebound (SHR) method and the Leeb hardness method for nondestructive testing (NDT) and localized sampling analysis of stone materials, this study carefully selected suitable experimental parameters to assess the mechanical ...

Decreasing the Environmental Impact of the Electric Steelmaking Route Through Advanced Modelling Techniques

steel research international, EarlyView.
Ensemble models are adopted to estimate the sterile content of scraps arriving to the scrap yard. Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate steel composition and temperature after Ladle furnace. The models are validated on data from two steelworks very satisfactory results and are inherently transferable to other steelworks, as they are ...

Multi‐Scale Mechanical Behavior of Additive‐Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation

steel research international, EarlyView.
The multi‐scale mechanical behavior of additive‐manufactured 316L stainless steel processed by directed energy deposition and high‐pressure torsion is explored. The influence of torsional strain on strength and microstructural evolution is revealed, indicating progressive grain refinement in the ultrafine regime, reaching strength levels nearing 1800 ...
