trient concentration in the leaves (Beaufils, 1973). Those dual ratios represent the minimum expression for nutriIn this study, we evaluated the potential of reflectance and fluoresent interactions. Parent and Dafir (1992) developed a cence for the detection of the Compositional Nutrient Diagnosis (CND) N index (IN). The CND reflects nutrient deficiencies as well new indicator of plant nutritio...

There is increasing environmental concerns about irrigation runoff, leachates, and other effluents from farms, composting sites, and other operations (Hong et al., 2009; LeaCox et al., 2004; Yeager et al., 1993). Waste effluents may cause surface and groundwater contamination (Million et al., 2007; Owen et al., 2008). Effluents are often rich in certain nutrients and can potentially be recycled...

the numerical method presented by safaiy et al. [1] is reformulated with finite volume method in its most general form and tested on non-orthogonal flow problems. navier-stokes equations are solved for the solution of stream function and vorticity. numerical solutions of the driven skewed cavity flow, solved using a fine grid (513×513) mesh, are presented for reynolds number of 100 and 1000 for...

A number of user authentication schemes have been proposed to provide roaming services in the global mobility network (GLOMONET). However, most of these schemes are based on an asymmetric cryptosystem, which has a higher computational cost. To achieve computational efficiency, Chang et al. proposed an authentication scheme using simple hash functions for mobile devices in the GLOMONET. However,...

—Fishes can provide an important link between benthic and pelagic habitats by removing nutrients from sediments and excreting them into the water column. The relative importance of nutrients excreted by fishes to ecosystem productivity may vary among species and with abiotic conditions. I measured excretion rates of three benthic feeding fishes, gizzard shad Dorosoma cepedianum, smallmouth buff...
