Abu-Lebdeh et al.Hydrogen is the best friend of man and the environment. Actually, it is the core element from that can extract energy, at infinity, in various forms. Until now has not been sufficiently exploited, but once with the evolution of the human species is the time to start to pool all types of energy which the hydrogen and its isotopes may … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMissouri Spring Freeze Event and Crop Loss Analysis for the Years 1982-2015Mirza Mohd Shahriar Maswood, Ali Koleiny, Scott Nickell et al.A spring freeze is an unexpected freeze event occurring in late spring that can result in severe domestic crop loss. These events coincide with seasonal weather conditions that promote early crop development. As a consequence, early growth is most susceptible to freeze damage. Spring temperature fluctuations pose significant threat to crop yield and growth, when compared to onsistently cold springtime … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 4 May 2018 · 8,734 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Basic Reactions in Nuclear FusionRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Aversa Raffaella, Samuel Kozaitis et al.Over time it has advanced the idea that the achievement of a hot nuclear reaction can require tens or hundreds of millions of degrees. Precise calculations clearly indicate a much higher temperature. At least 10 million degrees are necessary for 1 keV in thermonuclear reaction. At 400 keV it needs a temperature of 4000 million degrees to occur the hot … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 20 Jul 2017 · 8,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Tradeoffs in Herbicide Resistant Brassica rapa: Effects on Pollen and Ovule Production, Biomass and DevelopmentRobin Bingham, Pamela King, Andrew G. KeckFor decades, herbicides have been used to control weeds and increase crop yields, a practice resulting in a growing number of weeds that are herbicide resistant. Like the problem of antibiotic resistance for medicine, herbicide resistant weeds present a significant agricultural challenge. To meet this challenge, we need management strategies informed by a more complete understanding of the biology of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2017 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants.
