There is a growing need to provide support and applicable tools farmers the agro-industry in order move from their traditional water status monitoring high-water-demand cropping irrigation practices modern, more precise, reduced-demand systems technologies. In precision viticulture, very few approaches with ground robots have served as moving platforms for carrying non-invasive sensors deliver ...

Soil moisture (SM) is an indicator of the status land surface, which useful for monitoring extreme weather events. Representative global SM datasets include National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), European Centre Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis 5 (ERA5), but due to their low spatial reso...

In order to critique literary works (comparative literature), the in question are usually criticized from two different cultures, so according this type of method, created same culture can be examined together. He found their commonalities and differences achieved good results. Although Attar Sanai have played an important role determining intellectual policy drawing Rumi's mystical model, abil...

The WRKY transcription factors (TFs), play crucial role in plant defense response against various abiotic and biotic stresses. The role of WRKY3 and WRKY4 genes in plant defense response against necrotrophic pathogens is well-reported. However, their functional annotation in tomato is largely unknown. In the present work, we have characterized the structural and functional attributes of the two...

Constrained Nonlinear Predictive Control of Gasoline Low-Temperature Combustion — Combustion of a gasoline fuel with a high amount of recirculated exhaust gas is increasingly gaining interest. Such in part load conditions, a low combustion peak temperature can be achieved, which yields lowest emissions but suffers from instabilities of the process and a highly nonlinear behavior. These properti...

Satellite measurements of volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions can provide critical information for aviation hazard mitigation, particularly when ash detection techniques fail. Recent developments in space-based SO2 monitoring are discussed, focusing on daily, global ultraviolet (UV) measurements by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA’s Aura satellite. OMI’s high sensitivity to SO2...

The 11th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (June 24±28) took place at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. A wide range of topics was covered in 18 sessions, ranging from `genomics' to ` ̄oral' induction, and `patterning and organogenesis'. In the evenings, several very popular genomics workshops took place. Chuck Gasser (University of California) led the workshop, `Discussion ...
