An emerging class of materials that are hybrid in nature is propelling a technological revolution in energy, touching many fundamental aspects of energy-generation, storage, and conservation. Hybrid materials combine classical inorganic and organic components to yield materials that manifest new functionalities unattainable in traditional composites or other related multicomponent materials, wh...

We consider a hyperbolic system of conservation laws describing multicomponent flows through a transport pipeline, with applications to CO2 transport and storage. We demonstrate that numerical dissipation easily leads to an underestimation of the amplitude of pressure pulses and the resulting pipe strain. We argue that recently developed high-resolution methods, particularly adapted to our curr...

Abstract Sweet passion fruit (Passiflora alata Curtis) is a species native to Brazil that economically important for consumption and can also be used as an ornamental plant. The objective of this work was evaluate different forms storing Passiflora seeds the purpose preserving accessions in germplasm banks. Three experiments were performed. In first, without aril stored two periods (one three y...

Synthetic seed technology is an exciting and rapidly growing area of research as deals with conservation and storage of rare, endangered and desirable genotypes along with its easy handling and transportation. As propagation of many ornamental and medicinally important plant species is labour intensive, application of different growth retardants and osmotica in simple artificial seed system wou...
