This article provides comprehensive insights into the detrimental impact of wheat thrips, a widespread and persistent pest that affects crops within our country. The research delves conditions under which thrips cause substantial harm to crops, taking account specific climatic factors present region. A comparative analysis prevalence resulting damage was conducted between years 2020 2023. study...

Sorghum stemborer species remains key yield limiting factor for sorghum production in the Nigerian semi-arid region. When they can afford, farmers rely almost solely on synthetic insecticides for control. Owing to the misuse and environmental and health challenges attributed to the use of synthetic insecticides, a two-year field study was carried out at the University of Maiduguri Research Farm...

Continuous-wave green laser-crystallized (CLC) single-grain-like polycrystalline silicon n-channel thinfilm transistors (poly-Si n-TFTs) demonstrate the higher electron mobility and turn-on current than excimer laser annealing (ELA) poly-Si n-TFTs. Furthermore, high drain voltage accelerates the flowing electrons in n-type channel, and hence the hot-carriers possibly cause a serious damage near...

Films of (10 10) textured CoCrPt have been sputtered on polymer substrates for use as thin film tape media. Underlayers of NiAl combined with various intermediate layers were employed to obtain this orientation without thermal damage to the polymer. It was found that NiAl underlayers sputtered on tape substrates have a (112) growth texture, like they do on glass. Film coercivity varied as a fun...

A method was developed and used to determine the electromechanical properties of high frequency ~.20 MHz! piezoelectric strip vibrators. A nonlinear regression technique was employed to fit the impedance magnitude and phase as predicted by Mason’s model to measured values. Results from experimental measurements on 30 MHz array elements supported by an attenuative backing indicated degraded perf...

INTRODUCTION: Head scab caused by Fusarium graminaerum (Schwabe) has caused significant losses in the soft red winter wheat crop in Kentucky and in small grain crops in many regions of North America. Damage from head scab results in reductions in seed quality, emergence, and yield of wheat. In addition, losses in food-grain quality are caused by production of fungal mycotoxins, specifically vom...

Moreover, the comparative study of prices in Egypt and even in parts of Egypt (a nome, a toparchy, a village) is rendered very difficult by many peculiar circumstances. This is true, for example, of the prices of such a basic commodity as grain. In the statistical lists compiled by modern scholars the price of grain is shown per artaba, as if the artaba were a constant measure. In fact, as has ...
