Agricultural production is one of the main sources anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing 50% and 60% CH4 N2O respectively. This study evaluated rice yield components, emissions global warming potential between triple (R-R-R) sesame-rice rotation (S-R-R) systems in Can Tho city, Vietnam. The experiments were conducted 3 cropping seasons: Spring-Summer 2016, Summer-Autumn Win...

in order to study the effects of planting date and plant density on yield and its components in three chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars in rainfed conditions of ilam, a field experiment was carried out using split plot design as factorial by complete randomized block design with three replications at shirvan-chardavol agriculture research station during 2008-2009. sowing dates were assign...

Intrinsically coupled nonlinear systems typically present different oscillating components that exchange energy among themselves. A paradigmatic example is the spring pendulum, for which we identify spring, and oscillations. We propose a new approach properly accounts coupling, allows analysis of exchanges types oscillation. obtain rate enhanced chaotic orbits. Moreover, highest rates coupling ...

AIMS The objective of the study was to characterize variations in proline, arginine, histidine, vegetative storage proteins, and cold-inducible gene expression in overwintering roots of field-grown alfalfa, in response to autumn defoliation, and in relation to spring regrowth and winter survival. METHODS Field trials, established in 1996 in eastern Canada, consisted of two alfalfa cultivars (...

The bi-articular m. gastrocnemius and the mono-articular m. soleus have different and complementary functions during walking. Several groups are starting to use these biological functions as inspiration to design prostheses with bi-articular actuation components to replace the function of the m. gastrocnemius. Simulation studies indicate that a bi-articular configuration and spring that mimic t...

this study investigated the effect of sowing date and limited water allocation management for single irrigation on the grain yield of rainfed barley. the experiment was a split-split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications from 2004 to 2006 at the main station of the dryland agricultural research institute at maragheh. the treatments comprised three sowing da...

Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) devices were used to investigate the temporal and spatial changes in vanadium (V) speciation in the Churchill estuary system (Manitoba). Thirty-six DGT sets and 95 discrete water samples were collected at 8 river and 3 estuary sites during spring freshet and summer base flow. Dissolved V concentration in the Churchill River at summer base flow was approxi...

A subway train-steel spring floating slab track-tunnel coupling dynamic model, considering short and middle-long wavelength random track irregularities, and longitudinal connection between adjacent slabs of steel spring floating slab track, was developed. And the influence of slab length on dynamic characteristics of the system under different track conditions and train speeds are theoretically...
