the water deficit is the most important limiting non-biological factor to achieve the potential yield of crops. to evaluate the effect of silicon application on yield of millet under drought stress in field an experimental was carried out. treatments were included three irrigation regimes after 60 (non-stress), 90 (moderate stress) and 120 (severe stress) mm evaporation from evaporation pan, cl...

Nanostructured silicon has proven to be a promising candidate in tissue engineering. However, recent research on fabrication of silicon scaffolds has been limited to expensive, complex, and time-consuming lithographic techniques that require the addition of caustic chemicals. Moreover, these techniques generate structures that do not truly mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM). Therefore, we int...

This article presents the (hi)story about the Nordunet project and its " plug. " This is a (hi)story about how the Internet " won " the " religious war " about computer communication protocol standards in Scandinavia. This history teaches us important lessons about how the Nordic countries (except Denmark) became the leading ones in the adoption and use of the Internet. On a more general level ...

introduction nowadays, salinity is one of the limiting factors for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. on the other hand, sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) is a self-pollinated and short-day plant, which partly has been adapted to salinity and water stress conditions; also play an important role in humans, livestock and poultry nourishments. all studies have showed the positive effects of...
