Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesHighly-Efficient Advanced Thermoelectric Devices from Different Multilayer Thin FilmsSatilmis Budak, Zhigang Xiao, Barry Johnson et al.The efficiency of the thermoelectric materials and devices is shown by the dimensionless Figure of merit, ZT. ZT is calculated by multiplying the Seebeck coefficient with square of the electrical conductivity and absolute temperature and dividing it all by the thermal conductivity. Thermoelectric devices were prepared using different multilayered thin film structures in the order of SiO2/SiO2 + Ge/Ge/Sb + … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2016 · 8,368 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnalysis of the Factors used by Farmers to Manage Risk. A Case Study on Italian FarmsAntonella Pontrandolfi, Fabian Capitanio, Felice Adinolfi, Barry GoodwinThe study analyses the strategies Italian farmers use to cope with the risks that face their production.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSugarcane Response to Water-Deficit Stress during Early Growth on Organic and Sand SoilsDuli Zhao, Barry Glaz, Jack C. ComstockProblem statement: Approximately 20% of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown on sand soils in south Florida, USA. Sugarcane yields in the region linearly increased in last 33 years on organic (muck) soils, but not on sand soils. Water deficit during the formative growth phase on sand soils probably limits sugarcane yields. Approach: A greenhouse study was conducted in 2009 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,260 accessesView PDF Cite
