The effects of root temperatures (25, 35 and 45°C) and temperature duration (30, 60 and 90 min) on net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate in Tradescantia pallida were investigated. The experiment was conducted under controlled conditions with factorial arrangement based on a completely randomized design (CRD) and four replications. Result showed that, net photosynt...

A critical challenge to creating effective open multi-agent systems is allowing them to operate effectively in the face of potential failures. In this paper we present an experimental evaluation of a set of domain-independent services designed to handle the failure modes ("exceptions") that can occur in such environments, applied to the wellknown "Contract Net" multi-agent system coordination p...

The world’s demand for electrical energy is increasing rapidly while the use of fossil fuels getting limited more and by policies need reducing impact climate change. New sources are required to fulfill electricity they currently found in renewable energy, especially solar wind power. Choosing optimal PV nominal power minimizes unnecessary surplus that exported grid thus not making any on than ...

This study examined the role of carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion on the resynthesis of two pools of glycogen, proglycogen (PG) and macroglycogen (MG), in human skeletal muscle. Nine males completed an exhaustive glycogen depletion exercise bout at 70% maximal O2 consumption on two occasions. Subsequent 48-h dietary interventions consisted of either high (HC, 75% of energy intake) or low (LC, 32% of...

qct calculations were performed to study the behavior of energized nh2oh formed by association collision of nh2 radical with oh radical. a potential energy surface that describes the behavior of the title reaction has been constructed by interpolation of ab initio data. h2o, hon, hno, nh3, o, h2no, cis or trans-honh, and h products and two vibrationally energized nh2oh and nh3o adducts were obs...

We develop a recycling model using 13C/12C mass balance for net growth/loss of the sedimentary organic carbon (Corg) reservoir, and apply it to the Neogene bulk marine carbonate δ13C record. The model allows for variations in photosynthetic fractionation factors, carbon cycling rates, and the isotopic composition of riverine carbon inputs to the oceans. The sign of the net flux term is controll...

To study the role of muscle mass and muscle activity on lactate and energy kinetics during exercise, whole body and limb lactate, glucose, and fatty acid fluxes were determined in six elite cross-country skiers during roller-skiing for 40 min with the diagonal stride (Continuous Arm + Leg) followed by 10 min of double poling and diagonal stride at 72-76% maximal O(2) uptake. A high lactate appe...

We evaluated the hypotheses that alterations in glucose disposal rate (Rd) due to endurance training are the result of changed net glucose uptake by active muscle and that blood glucose is shunted to working muscle during exercise requiring high relative power output. We studied leg net glucose uptake during 1 h of cycle ergometry at two intensities before training [45 and 65% of peak rate of o...
