to investigate the root anatomy and hydraulic conductivity of wheat cultivars, including shiraz, bahar, pishtaz, sistan, and yavaros, a series of controlled environment (growth chamber) experiments were hydroponically conducted at university college of dublin (ucd), ireland in 2010. bahar, pishtaz and sistan cultivars were employed as tolerant to drought and shiraz and yavaros as sensitive. twe...

based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. the results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to othe...

Paul B. MacCready has a knack for knowing the difference between the impossible and that which is merely extremely difficult. In the late 1980s, MacCready, founder and CEO of AeroVironment, a company that consults on pollution management and wind energy, figured that a battery-powered automobile could be practical , provided the entire machine was optimized for efficiency. It would have to be e...

the “driving force - pressure - state - impact – response” modeling framework isadopted to consider the formation mechanisms of environmental risks and the requirements ofecological environment protection. moreover, a systematical index system and evaluation model forthe measurement of the coastal ecological security level is put forward in this paper to assess thestate of coastal ecological en...
