We investigated the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) hyphae in alternation of soil microbial community and Aroclor 1242 dissipation. A two-compartment rhizobox system with double nylon meshes in the central was employed to exclude the influence of Cucurbita pepo L. root exudates on hyphal compartment soil. To assess the quantitative effect of AMF hyphae on soil microbial community, w...

The boundary feedforward control problem for a class of distributedparameter port-Hamiltonian systems in one spatial dimension is addressed. The considered hyperbolic systems of two conservation laws (with dissipation) are discretized in the spatial coordinate using an energy-based, structure preserving discretization scheme. The resulting finite-dimensional approximate state representation has...

Electronics technology is indispensable for improving automotive performance. Especially, in electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), electric systems are the heart of the automobile. Power devices are one of the most important components of car electronics systems and they are applied to many systems, for example, oil-pressure valve control of the ABS system, and motor contro...

Interaction of Alfven waves with plasma inhomogeneity generates phase mixing which can cause the dissipation of Alfven waves. We investigated the dissipation of standing Alfven waves due to phase mixing at the presence of steady flow and sheared magnetic field in solar spicules. Moreover, the transition region between chromosphere and corona was considered. Our numerical simulation showed that ...

Passive control methods can be utilized to build earthquake resistant structures, and also to strengthen the vulnerable ones. In this paper, we studied the effect of this system in increasing the ductility and energy dissipation and also modeled the behavior of this type of eccentric bracing, and compared the hysteresis diagram of the modeled samples with the laboratory samples. We studied seve...

determination of price of lost property is faced with two difficulties: on the one hand, property price is variable from time to time so it is necessary to determine the price of the item in which time must be considered? on the other side question of devaluation of money is raised. whether the agent of the loss is responsible for this or she/he is merely responsible for the value of property i...

The impact of varying soil, landscape, and climate conditions on the off-site transport of pesticides must be determined to develop improved pesticide management practices. This study quantified the rate of S-metolachlor dissipation after fall and spring application in eroded and rehabilitated landforms in which topsoil was moved from the lower slope to the upper slope. Fall-applied metolachlor...

In this paper, we propose a novel modification to the WENO-family schemes reduce its intrinsic dissipation. work, focus on WENO5 scheme, which is rewritten in terms of central plus dissipative part, and then, dissipation controlled based flow physics. This achieved by using automatic adjustment (ADA) method an posteriori approach. methodology allows us greatly increase accuracy original scheme ...
