This paper discusses how a qualitative understanding on the physics of failure can lead to a theoretical derivation of effective features that are useful for condition monitoring of wet friction clutches. The physical relationships between the features and the mean coefficient of friction (COF) which can be seen as the representation of the degradation level of a wet friction clutch are theoret...

use poor quality resources of water and soil for food production in developing countries must be considered. therefore, three experiments were conduct in complete randomize design with four replications, to study effects of gradually application of different salinity levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds.m-1) at different growth stages (planting and early seedling) and gradually application s...

In this study, response of 12 grapevine rootstock genotypes to cadmium (Cd) toxicity were investigated. The Cd application the soil was made at beginning experiment 4 different doses. Shoot, leaf and root dry matter yields, Cd, N, P Zn contents determined assess genotype tolerance toxicity. Present findings revealed that based on shoot, weights, contents, there Cd-sensitive resistant among pres...

Dry matter accumulation, nitrate reductase activity of various organs, nitrate accumulation, nitrogen derived from nitrate, and nitrogen content were studied during 17 days of vegetative regrowth of harvested (detopped) alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Seedlings were grown in the glasshouse and treated with 0, 40, and 80 kilograms N per hectare applied as K(15)NO(3) to determine whether reduced ni...

We present self-accelerating self-trapped beams in nonlinear optical media, exhibiting self-focusing and self-defocusing Kerr and saturable nonlinearities, as well as a quadratic response. In Kerr and saturable media such beams are stable under self-defocusing and weak self-focusing, whereas for strong self-focusing the beams off-shoot solitons while their main lobe continues to accelerate. Sel...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the inoculation effect of two new endophytic diazotrophic bacteria and the interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and these bacteria on wheat plants. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse with the two strains of diazotrophic bacteria, IAC11HT (Achromobacter insolitus) and IAC12HT (Zoogloea ramigera), and two AMF (Glomus sp. and Acaul...
