Abstract Controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer (CRNF) can effectively enhance crop yields and raise the efficiency of in agroecosystems. In present study, volatilization NH 3 was determined by airflow enclosure chamber technique after application different CRNF rates double-cropping rice fields southern China for continuous years. The early late season (ESR LSR) were cultivated each year. resu...

BACKGROUND At present long-acting somatostatin analogs represent the first-line medical treatment of acromegaly. These drugs produce stable suppression of GH in most sensitive patients and IGF-I normalization in many; they also increase the compliance of acromegalic patients. The recent availability of octreotide (OC)-LAR, a somatostatin analog to be administered at 28-day intervals, has prompt...

Visual latencies and temporal dynamics of area 18 and PMLS direction-selective complex cells were defined with a reverse correlation method. The method allowed us to analyze the time course of responses to motion steps, without confounding temporal integration effects. Several measures of response latency and direction tuning dynamics were quantified: optimal latency (OL), latency of first and ...

The three Instruction Set Extension (ISE) enumeration algorithms described in this paper are Subgraph Enumeration (SE), Subgraph Removal (SR), and Lucky Subgraph Removal (LSR). SE exhaustively enumerates all convex subgraphs of a dataflow graph. SR iteratively finds the highest gain subgraph and then locks the related nodes out of the solution space for the next iteration of the search. Finally...

Chitin is a promising structural material for biomedical applications, due to its many advantageous properties and abundance in nature. However, its usage and development in the biomedical field have been stagnant, because of chitin's poor mechanical properties in wet conditions and the difficulties in transforming it into an applicable form. To overcome these challenges, we created a novel bio...

Abstract Building infrastructure always chooses to use strong materials, low costs, easy maintenance and easily available materials. One of these materials is normal concrete which one the making using Portland cement. The process cement can cause damage environment due greenhouse emissions, so research needed create environmentally friendly concrete, geopolymer concrete. In there still not too...

AlSi10Mg alloys are widely employed in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and microelectronics. This is because its low density, acceptable mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, inexpensive application cost. Advantageous fluidity, short solidification period, minimal volumetric contraction beneficial characteristics under processing such alloys. Despite being used ...

conventional investigations on the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soils are often investigated at the failure point. in this paper, a new concept of comparison of the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soil by estimating the strength and strength ratio (deviatoric stress of reinforced sample to unreinforced sample) at various strain levels is proposed. a comprehensive set of labor...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects harvesting age at 6, 8, 10, and 12 days four barley varieties HB-1307, Debark-1, Tila, local on morphological characteristics, biomass yield, chemical composition, economic benefits under hydroponics in Fogera district National Rice Research Training Center Amhara Region, Ethiopia. interaction variety significantly influenced growth para...
