A brief history of development of the 1985 Hargreaves equation and its comparison to evapotranspiration ~ET! predicted by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations ~FAO! Penman-Monteith method are described to provide background and information helpful in selecting an appropriate reference ET equation under various data situations. Early efforts in irrigation water requiremen...

Estimated daily reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) is normally used to determine the water requirement of crops using the crop factor method. Many ETo estimation methods have been developed for different types of climatic data, and the accuracy of these methods varies with climatic conditions. In this study, pair−wise comparisons were made between daily ETo estimated from eight different E...

Abstract This paper introduces the worldwide history of fully automatic operation (FAO) system in urban rail transit, followed by development status China. Then, architecture and characteristics FAO are described, analysis method design requirements is proposed based on human factors engineering. The key technologies introduced from aspects signaling system, vehicle communication traffic integr...

Rhabdomyolysis may result from various factors, namely trauma, exercise, medications, infections, endocrine disorders, congenital myopathies, and metabolic diseases. Among the latter, mitochondrial fatty acid b-oxidation (FAO) defects frequently cause recurrent rhabdomyolysis. FAO disorders are recessively inherited and have a combined incidence of 1:9,300, estimated after implementation of new...

Abnormalities of fatty acid metabolism are recognized to play a significant role in human disease, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) catalyzes the initial step in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO). We produced a mouse model of LCAD deficiency with severely impaired FAO. Matings between LCAD +/- mice yielded an abnormally low number of L...
