A field experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru, Karnataka to study the influence of different approaches fertilizer application using soluble and conventional fertilizers on yield, nutrient requirement economics cabbage under drip fertigation. The results revealed that significant higher marketable yield 62.55 t ha-1 recorded in LMH approach follow...

Abstract The objective of this research is to test the feasibility a large-scale application fertilizer drawn forward osmosis using concentrated hydroponic nutrient solution as draw solution. This will help mitigate ever-growing issue freshwater resources, by providing an alternative source for agriculture. method can then be used grow crops hydroponically in arid regions that have access both ...

This paper presents a discussion on Quebec’s pegmatite lithium resources and potential markets. It also evaluates the opportunities of battery production for electric vehicles (EV) in province while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The shows that mining ore deposits would be sufficient to satisfy province’s demand exporting abroad lithium-ion batteries. By considering only projects whose fina...

A hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, LMH, has been established from a hepatocellular carcinoma induced in a male leghorn chicken by diethylnitrosamine. The cell line is characterized by well-differentiated morphological and biochemical features including the expression of glucose-6-phosphatase and canalicular ATPase activities and triploid karyotype with six marker chromosomes. The cells have ...

Francis turbines operate in many cases out of its best efficiency point, in order to regulate their output power according to the instantaneous energy demand of the grid. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to analyse and determine the unstable operating points for these kind of units. In the framework of the HYPERBOLE project (FP7-ENERGY-2013-1; Project number 608532) a large Francis unit...

In this paper, vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) membranes of different densities are developed and their performances are investigated. VACNT arrays of densities 5 × 10(9), 10(10), 5 × 10(10) and 10(11) tubes cm(-2), are initially grown on 1 cm × 1 cm silicon substrates using chemical vapour deposition. A VACNT membrane is realised by attaching a 300 μm-thick 1 cm × 1 cm VACNT array o...

Submerged structures that operate under extreme flows are prone to suffer large scale cavitation attached to their surfaces. Under such conditions the added mass effects differ from the expected ones in pure liquids. Moreover, the existence of small gaps between the structure and surrounding bodies filled with fluid also influence the dynamic response. A series of experiments and numerical simu...
