Increased water scarcity necessitates the implementation of water-conserving irrigation management practices to sustain crop production, especially in water-limited areas. Field experiments were conducted evaluate midday leaf potential (LWP) bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum) irrigated differentially using surface drip (DI) and subsurface (SDI) systems during 2016 2017 growing seasons...

In this study, the traditional full/deficit irrigation and partial root drying (F-PRD) techniques with four different amounts of (100%, 80%, 60% 40%) were examined on Rubygem Strawberry species under controlled greenhouse conditions, in terms yield, yield parameters, WUE, IWUE, response factor (ky), etc. their possible reactions have been investigated. study which fresh seedlings used, planted ...

Sustainable agricultural production is mainly attributed to healthy soils. Calcareous soils, especially in arid and semiarid areas, suffer from low organic matter nutrient availability. Low could degrade soil with reducing the crop productivity. Thus, present study aimed assess integrated effect of mulch irrigation on activity, availability, potentiality corn yield under calcareous conditions. ...

By using the H-D isotope eflect on the vibrational spectrum of orthorhombic zoisite, we conflrm the assignrnsnt of a band at 2160 cm-r to a low-energy OH-stretching vibration. These OH groups occur in strong hydrogen bridges with a bonding energy of approximately 4oU/mole, along with the "normal" OH groups in the O(10)-H ...O(4) bridge. Furthermore, four OH librational modes could be identi-fie...

Enantiopure sulfoxides are valuable asymmetric starting materials and are important chiral auxiliaries in organic synthesis. Toluene monooxygenases (TMOs) have been shown previously to catalyze regioselective hydroxylation of substituted benzenes and phenols. Here we show that TMOs are also capable of performing enantioselective oxidation reactions of aromatic sulfides. Mutagenesis of position ...

This paper describes a neural network classifier for the 11000 chip, which optically reads the E13B font characters at the bottom of checks. The first layer of the neural network is a hardware linear classifier which recognizes the characters in this font . A second software neural layer is implemented on an inexpensive microprocessor to clean up the results of the first layer. The hardware lin...

This study aimed to determine the effects of compost amendment on soil properties, as well morphophysiological responses, seed yield, oil content, and fatty-acid profile. Nigella sativa plants under drought stress conditions. In a split-plot design, field experiment was carried out during two seasons (2020/2021 2021/2022), involving three irrigation regimes (named I100, I75, I50 crop evapotrans...
