Maintenance of consistent cool root zone temperatures is the factor most critical for successful Darlingtonia californica cultivation. plants grown semi-hydroponically with chilled water will tolerate ambient substantially warmer those conventionally.

The convergent plate boundaries known as the subduction zone is location where cold, hydrate, and old oceanic subduct under hot, dry, young continental plate. top of plate, i.e. crust usually less than 6 km thick carries hydrate material to hot mantle, which commonly an indication occurrence deep earthquake. From recent studies, regional earthquake body wave signal that occurred at was found di...

video-on-demand, VOD, video layout, zone-bit-recording, disk I/O performance Rapid progress in high speed networking and mass storage technologies has made it possible to provide video-on-demand (VOD) services, that deliver movies to viewers' homes on request. In this paper, we study video data layout issues in the video server design. Specifically, we present a family of novel video data layou...

For hot extrusions of magnesium alloy sheets, Dissimilar AZ80 and AZ31 were used, in which AZ80 was placed on advancing side and AZ31 on retreating side, using friction stir butt welding with different process parameters. Some defect-free welded joints with good weld surfaces could be obtained with some suitable welding conditions. The maximum tensile strength of welded joint which is 225.5 MPa...

X-ray spectroscopy of Seyfert 1 galaxies often reveal absorption edges resulting from photoionized gas along the line-of-sight to the central engine, the so-called warm absorber. I discuss how recent ASCA observations of warm absorber variability in MCG−6-30-15 can lead us to reject a one-zone model and, instead, have suggested a multi-zone warm absorber. The evidence for dust within the warm a...
