The Schwinger-Dyson equations for the nucleon and meson propagators are solved self-consistently in an approximation that goes beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation. The traditional approach consists in solving the nucleon Schwinger-Dyson equation with bare meson propagators and bare meson-nucleon vertices; the corrections to the meson propagators are calculated using the bare nucleon propagato...

Crop coefficient curves provide simple, reproducible means to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ET) from weather-based reference ET values. The dual crop coefficient sKcd method of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United States (FAO) Irrigation and Drainage Paper No. 56 (FAO-56) is intended to improve daily simulation of crop ET by considering separately the contribution of evapora...

Cropland soils are key systems in global carbon budgets due to their high carbon-sequestration potential. It is widely accepted that clays one of the soil components have a significant effect on stabilisation organic (SOC), owing its surface interactions with molecules. However, identification direct effects SOC stabilization complicated, mainly difficulty accurately characterizing mineralogy c...

Soil labile organic carbon and soil enzymes play important roles in the carbon cycle of coastal wetlands that have high organic carbon accumulation rates. Soils under three vegetations (Phragmites australis, Spartina alterniflora, and Scirpusm mariqueter) as well as bare mudflat in Hangzhou Bay wetland of China were collected seasonally. Seasonal dynamics and correlations of soil labile organic...

The oribatid mite genus Cultroribula Berlese, 1908 is represented in Mongolia with six species. Most species of Cultroribula found in Mongolia are inhabitants of litter of various types of forests, soils of steppes and the high mountain alpine zone, but are also commonly found in lichens growing on trees or bare rock and terricolous bryophytes. In this work, two species, Cultroribula altaica sp...

Data for water vapor adsorption and evaporation are presented for a bare soil (sandy loam, clay content 15%) in a southern Spanish olive grove. Water losses and gains were measured using eight high-precision minilysimeters, placed around an olive tree, which had been irrigated until the soil reached field capacity (!0.22 m m). They were subsequently left to dry for 10 days. A pair of lysimeters...

Investigating and evaluating the quantity spatial distribution of arable sandy land in arid semiarid areas is great significance for sustainable development utilization resources maintenance stability structure function regional ecosystems. Based on characteristics soil, being without susceptible to wind erosion, this study used limiting factor exclusion method investigate evaluate areas. All s...

Using Tagalog as a case study, this paper provides an analysis of a cross-linguistically well attested phenomenon, namely, cases in which a bare NP’s syntactic position is linked to its interpretation as definite or indefinite. Previous approaches to this phenomenon, including analyses of Tagalog, appeal to specialized interpretational rules like Diesing’s Mapping Hypothesis. I argue that such ...

The investigation of the anthropogenic contamination by heavy metals of soils is very important for environmental planning and monitoring in urban areas. In the present study, surface soils (0 20 cm) samples from 167 sampling sites in Xuzhou (China) were collected in 2010 and analyzed for heavy metals including Zn, Pb, Fe, Mn, Cu, Cd, Sr, Ba Cr, Ni and Mo via inductively coupled plasma/mass spe...
