Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModeling Winter Hardiness Formation in Winter Wheat PlantsDaria Blyshchyk, Anatoliy Polevoy, Pavel FeoktistovA dynamic model, which describes the growth processes, plant development and the passing of the two phases of the autumn hardening under the influence of agrometeorological conditions in autumn, was developed. The model illustrates effects of intensity of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), sunlight levels, air temperature and soil moisture on the increment of reserves of photosynthesis products and soluble carbohydrates … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2020 · 7,209 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordResponses of Milling Quality to Nitrogen and Water Management in Modern Long Grain Rice VarietiesThitinan Sreethong, Benjavan Rerkasem, Bernard Dell et al.This study determined how nitrogen (N) fertilizer and water management affect grain yield and milling quality of 9 modern rice varieties with long, slender grain in two field experiments. The effect of N on rice grown in wetland culture was evaluated at 0, 60 and 120 kg N ha-1. In a second experiment the rice in aerobic and wetland culture … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2019 · 7,230 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Land Cover on Streamflow Variability in a Small Iowa Watershed: Assessing Future VulnerabilitiesKeith Schilling, Matthew Streeter, Kasey Hutchinson et al.Agricultural expansion and urbanization, coupled with climate change represent major threats to the sustainability of river ecosystems and infrastructure. In this study, we evaluated how subbasins with different dominant land covers within the 27.5 km2 Clear Creek, IA watershed affect key hydrologic indicators. Hydrologic output from two stream gages and a calibrated Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model were used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 8,374 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAutomatic Measurement of Drilling Parameters to Evaluate the Mechanical Properties of SoilsDaniele Pettinau, Pierpaolo Oreste, Marilena Cardu, Davide GuidarelliAny underground work, carried out either to perform excavations, should be based on detailed knowledge of the geological, hydrogeological and geomechanical conditions of the underlying materials. The continuous automatic diagraphy is a test that consists in the continuous surveying of drilling parameters, with total destruction of the core, which can be used, together with geognostic probing surveys and a detailed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,553 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTotal Petroleum Hydrocarbons By Gas Chromatography in Colombian Waters and SoilsC.. González, S. Roa, A. Suspes et al.Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) were required by the Colombian Environmental Authorities. However, the great diversity of hydrocarbon sources, in addition to the variety of available techniques and analytical methods had created confusion among the users of the data in regards to the appropriate methodologies. This study presents the results obtained in the method validation for the determination of TPHs in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Jun 2012 · 9,218 accessesView PDF Cite
