Ecophysiological models predicting timing of bud burst were tested with data gathered from 40-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees growing in northern Sweden in whole-tree chambers under climatic conditions predicted to prevail in 2100. Norway spruce trees, with heights between 5 and 7 m, were enclosed in individual chambers that provided a factorial combination of ambient (36...

In this work, Fluoropolymer-based ultrathin coating is evaluated as a protective barrier for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) against corrosion failures. Constant humidity with temperature cycling was applied external climatic conditions performance assessment through electrochemical AC impedance and DC potentiostatic measurements. Morphology of the before after test inspected using Optical, Scannin...

results the results showed that the average hr at resting, sitting (32℃ ± 0.1℃), and light workload (30℃ ± 0.1℃) were 78.52 ± 12.10, 69.74 ± 11.98, and 110.78 ± 17.91 beat/min, respectively. the average of ear canal temperature was estimated at 36.70℃ ± 0.36℃ for sitting workload and at 36.71℃ ± 0.27℃ light workload. conclusions the findings of this study illustrated that the average hr and the...

The variability in the emergence process of different populations was confirmed for two Echinochloa crus-galli populations, one from Italy (IT) and second Norway (NO). Seeds were sown 12 localities over Europe Middle East, patterns IT NO compared with those several local at each location. population pots buried to ground level. base temperature (Tb) estimated by (1) analysing logistic models ap...

The following analysis deals with the validation study for already published thermal simulation of human body-clothing-environment system through wear trials. Three test persons and a clothing were selected this study. process chain includes 3D scanning, fit considering deformation properties fabrics, air gaps between skin clothing, thermophysiological body taking into account different metabol...

Identification of climatic indices are vital in essence of their ability to characterize different climatic events. We focus on discovery of climatic indices important for Indian summer monsoon from climatic parameters surface pressure and zonal wind velocity. We use climatic network based community detection approach for discovery of climatic indices. New indices depict better correlation with...

introduction: well type ionization chamber is a measuring device which is used to determine the activity of brachytherapy sources. the chamber has a cylindrical volume in which a cylindrical tube is mounted in the middle of the chamber. for the measurements, the brachytherapy sources are transferred to the middle of the tube. materials and methods: for designing the well type chamber, the measu...

background: the effectiveness and safety of brachytherapy treatment is mainly concerned with the calibration of sources and their traceability to internationally accepted standards. secondary standard dosimetry laboratory (ssdl) does not offer calibration of ionization chambers with gamma-ray spectrum of high dose rate source 192ir . this work has been carried out to calibrate the high dose rat...

taurodontism is a morphologic feature of generally multi-rooted teeth with large pulp chambers and shortened roots. a case of endodontic treatment in a 24-year-old male with the chief complaint of swelling and pain in the right mandibular region is described. periapical lesion was present in the radiographic examination of hypertaurodont second mandibular molar. four root canals were detected w...
