LEADER (Leaf Element Accumulation from DEep Roots): A nondestructive phenotyping platform to estimate rooting depth in the field

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 333-353, January/February 2024.
Abstract Deeper rooted crops are an avenue to increase plant water and nitrogen uptake under limiting conditions and increase long‐term soil carbon storage. Measuring rooting depth, however, is challenging due to the destructive, laborious, or imprecise methods that are currently available.

Alternative locust control with a dilutable linseed oil emulsion

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
In this study, we improved a pesticidal formulation based on linseed oil for the control of gregarious locusts. Lab experiments and a semifield experiment conducted with Schistocerca gregaria revealed a high toxicity of this oil emulsion. This emulsion is harmless for humans and biodegradable.

Nature’s Solution to Aedes Vectors: Toxorhynchites as a Biocontrol Agent

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
This review summarizes the predatory potential of Toxorhynchites mosquitoes as biological control agents for Aedes vectors. A single larva can consume hundreds of mosquito larvae during its development, with preference for larger prey and higher consumption rates at higher prey densities.

∗‐π‐Reversible ∗‐Semirings and Their Applications to Generalized Inverses

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
We introduce and study a new class of ∗‐semirings which is called ∗‐π‐reversible ∗‐semirings. A ∗‐semiring R is said to be ∗‐π‐reversible if for any a, b ∈ R, ab = 0 implies there exist two positive integers m and n such that bman∗=0. Some characterizations and examples of this class of semirings are given. As applications, generalized inverses related

Commutative semifields and symplectic spreads

open access: yesJournal of Algebra, 2003
Recently, much attention is again being paid to semi-fields; that is, algebras satisfying all of the axions for a skew field except (possibly) associativity. One of the earliest papers on semi-fields was [\textit{D.E. Knuth}, J. Algebra 2, 182-217 (1965; Zbl 0128.25604)], in which Donald Knuth defined objects called cubical arrays.

The two sets of three semifields associated with a semifield flock [PDF]

open access: yesInnovations in Incidence Geometry: Algebraic, Topological and Combinatorial, 2005
In 1965 Knuth showed that from a given finite semifield one can construct further semifields manipulating the corresponding cubical array, and obtain in total six semifields from the given one. In the case of a rank two commutative semifield (the semifields corresponding to a semifield flock) these semifields have been investigated by Ball and Brown ...
