The final hot strip profile is a superposition of the roll initial crown, the roll bending and flattening crown, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown. In this research, linear regression models are proposed to predict the roll force, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown using experimental data provided by Mobarake Steel Complex (MSC). The short beam theory based on ela...

Species interactions in mixed plantations can influence tree growth, resources capture and soil fertility of the stands. A combined approach tree-ring analyses carbon stable isotope was used to check growth water use efficiency two species, Populus alba L. Juglans regia L., intercropped with each other N-fixing or competitive production species. Furthermore, were performed understand how differ...

Plasticity in crown architecture, contributing to leaf arrangement within crown, is an important feature for whole plant carbon assimilation and survival. In this study, I examined the plasticity in crown architecture to light condition and developmental stage by the changes in shoot production. Rhododendron reticulatum expands crown with orthotropic growth in monopodial branching in young stag...

Logistic regression equations of prescribed fire mortality were developed for white fir (Abies concolor [Gord. and Glend.] Lindl.), sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana Dougl.), ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.), incense-cedar (Calocedrus decurrens [Torr.] Floren.), and giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum [Lindley] Buchholz) in the southern Sierra Nevada, California. A total of 1025 trees wer...
