Salinità di “breve” e ”lungo periodo”: valutazione dell’effetto dell’applicazione di acidi umici sulla risposta di pomodoro da industria
Creators: name: Caputo, Rosanna
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2006

description: Negli ultimi anni la ricerca si è sempre più orientata verso l’utilizzo di tecniche agronomiche che garantissero, non solo la quantità e qualità dei prodotti, ma soprattutto contribuissero alla sostenibilità dell’attività agricola, favorendo la conservazione delle risorse naturali e riducendo l’impatto ambientale. Uno degli aspetti più ampiamente studiati, soprattutto nelle regioni aride e semiaride del pianeta, rinvenibili in tutti e cinque i continenti e sia in Paesi sviluppati sia in quelli in via di sviluppo, ove le risorse idriche sono limitanti la produzione agricola, sia in termini quantitativi che qualitativi, è quello della salinizzazione delle terre irrigate. Nell’azienda sperimentale dell’Università di Napoli, situata nella Piana del Sele (Bellizzi - Salerno), è in atto un programma di lungo periodo iniziato nel 1988 per valutare gli effetti dell’irrigazione con acque saline su terreno e su diverse specie orticole. L'obiettivo è quello di determinare la reazione delle piante alla salinità residua del suolo che può portare a modifiche dell'accrescimento ed a riduzioni di resa sia in termini quantitativi che qualitativi anche in assenza di irrigazione. I risultati hanno messo in luce che in condizioni di coltivazione intensiva, anche in presenza di dilavamento operato dalla pioggia, le alterazioni indotte sul terreno nel lungo periodo da acque ad elevato contenuto di sali determinano alterazioni dei normali processi fisiologici delle piante, a partire dalla germinazione ed emergenza, con limitazioni dell'accrescimento e riduzioni di resa sia in termini quantitativi che qualitativi. La somministrazione di acidi umici al terreno nel breve periodo non sembra apportare notevoli miglioramenti alla degradazione fisica operata negli anni dai ripetuti interventi di irrigazione con acque saline.Da queste considerazioni nasce l’esigenza di determinare la tolleranza e di caratterizzare la risposta alla salinità delle diverse colture negli ambienti specifici di coltivazione.

Stress corrosion cracking of rotor steels in carbonate/bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide solutions
Creators: name: Rechberger, Johann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this study, the stress corrosion behavior of 3.5%NiCrMoV and 1%CrMoV steels was investigated. Tests were conducted at 95°C in carbonate/bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide solutions. Results from slow strain rate tensile tests and fracture mechanics experiments were compared. A new, easily machinable, specimen geometry for fracture mechanics experiments was tested. The influence of pH, potential, microstructure and inclusions were studied. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was found with all three steels in the 3.5M NaOH solution at active, passive and transpassive potentials. In the 1M carbonate/ bicarbonate solutions, the 1%CrMoV steels showed very severe cracking only during slow strain rate experiments. No major difference in cracking behavior was found between a regular 3.5%NiCrMoV steel and a super clean 3.5%NiCrMoV steel with low Mn and Si content. In acidic CO₂/H₂O environments, crack tip blunting was observed due to strong dissolution processes.

Abstract: The scaling roadmap of silicon channel MOSFETs is reaching its fundamental limits. In this seminar, we discuss the potential of 2-D materials to break through this barrier thanks to their sub-nm thickness. We go from material to device to circuit level simulation assessment, highlighting benefits for scaled digital, analog and back-end-of-line applications. We conclude with an evaluation of the experimental state-of-the-art and the remaining challenges.
Analisi Molecolare del comportamento di evitamento al chinino in Caenorhabditis elegans

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2006

description: Nel presente lavoro di tesi di dottorato l’attività di ricerca è stata rivolta all’analisi molecolare del riflesso di evitamento, esibito dal nematode non parassita Caenorhabditis elegans, in risposta al chinino. Questo progetto s’inserisce negli studi relativi ai sistemi chemiosensoriali, in particolare all’analisi del gusto amaro nell’uomo.
Molti composti nocivi e tossici per gli animali, scartati dai mammiferi in saggi a doppia scelta e riconosciuti amari dall’uomo, sono percepiti come repellenti da C. elegans e scatenano una reazione di evitamento, che consiste in una brusca inversione della direzione del movimento. Ne deriva che la risposta di evitamento nei vermi ed il gusto amaro nell’uomo sembrano far parte di una stessa strategia attraverso cui gli animali limitano i danni causati da composti tossici presenti nell’ambiente.
Il presente studio quindi, utilizzando C. elegans come modello, si propone l’analisi del meccanismo molecolare che consente alle cellule sensoriali di identificare molecole tossiche, percepite come amare dall’uomo. In particolare l’analisi è incentrata sull’evitamento del chinino, un alcaloide estratto dalla corteccia delle piante di genere Cinchona. Questo composto ha vari effetti farmacologi ed è generalmente tossico per cellule ed organismi. Durante l’evoluzione l’uomo ha imparato a percepirlo come amaro e C. elegans ha imparato ad evitarlo.

description: Context. In this paper we present ultra deep images of the compact group of galaxies HCG 86 as part of the VEGAS survey. Aims. Our main goals are to estimate the amount of intragroup light (IGL), to study the light and color distributions in order to address the main formation process of the IGL component in groups of galaxies. Methods. We derived the azimuthally averaged surface brightness profiles in the g,r and i bands with g - r and r - i average colors and color profiles for all group members. By fitting the light distribution, we have extrapolated the contribution of the stellar halos plus the diffuse light from the brightest component of each galaxy. The results are compared with theoretical predictions. Results. The long integration time and wide area covered make our data deeper than previous literature studies of the IGL in compact groups of galaxies and allow us to produce an extended (~160 kpc) map of the IGL, down to a surface brightness level of about 30 mag/arcsec^2 in the g band. The IGL in HCG 86 is mainly in diffuse form and has average colors of g - r ~ 0.8 mag and r - i ~ 0.4 mag. The fraction of IGL in HCG 86 is ~ 16% of the total luminosity of the group, and this is consistent with estimates available for other compact groups and loose groups of galaxies of similar virial masses. A weak trend is present between the amount of IGL and the early-type to late-type galaxy ratio. Conclusions. By comparing the IGL fraction and colors with those predicted by simulations, the amount of IGL in HCG 86 would be the result of the disruption of satellites at an epoch of z ~ 0.4. At this redshift, observed colors are consistent with the scenario where the main contribution to the mass of the IGL comes from the intermediate-massive galaxies.

description: A vertical resonant tunneling diode (RTD) based on the paramagnetic Zn1-x-yMnyCdxSe system has been fabricated with a pillar diameter down to ~ 6 micron. The diode exhibits high quality resonant tunneling characteristics through the electron sub-band of the quantum well at a temperature of 4.2K, where a clear phonon replica was observable in addition to the primary peak. Both peaks show a giant Zeeman splitting in an applied magnetic field. Employing a self-consistent real-time Green's function method, the current-voltage characteristic was simulated, showing good agreement with the measured result.

The application of the additivity principle to recrystallization
Creators: name: Magee, Kenneth Howard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This research is part of an ongoing program at the University of British Columbia to mathematically model industrial annealing processes. To enable one to predict the final mechanical properties of a cold rolled steel sheet after being subjected to an industrial annealing cycle, the progress of recrystallization must be predicted with temperature increase during annealing. This is accomplished by applying the additivity principle to isothermal recrystallization kinetic data. To determine whether additivity is applicable to recrystallization, isothermal recrystallization kinetic data for a low carbon, rimmed, cold rolled steel sheet, was determined over a temperature range of 440°C-560°C, using molten salt annealing and diamond pyramid microhardness evaluation methods. The data was characterized using the Avrami equation. Continuous heating recrystallization trials were carried out using resistance heated strip specimens. The progress of recrystallization was monitored using an x-ray procedure based on examining the increased Ka doublet peak resolution of the {211} plane, experienced during the formation of recrystallized material. Diamond pyramid microhardness evaluation was also applied to the continuously heated specimens. Applying the Additivity principle to the isothermal kinetic data resulted in computer predictions which displayed reasonably good agreement with the kinetics obtained experimentally. The difference between the predicted and the experimental recrystallization behaviour was related to recovery effects. The degree of recovery, which is thermal history dependent, determines the amount of stored strain energy available for recrystallization. Once the recovery effect was eliminated by applying suitable heat treatments prior to the continuous heating cycle, the computer predictions displayed excellent correlation with the experimentally obtained continuous heating recrystallization kinetics. The x-ray procedure used to monitor recrystallization was found to be effective. However, modifications to the procedure will be necessary to enable it's use for the insitu monitoring of specimens subjected to the high heating rates typical of continuous annealing conditions.

description: Latinx populations in the United States (US) continue to be seriously impacted by persistent health disparities. According to the 2018 Monitoring the Future Study, Latinx adolescents had the highest rates of use of most illicit drugs compared to other ethnic groups. When considering differential risks among Latinxs, US-born youth in low-income first-generation families are at high risk for experiencing poverty, discrimination, and barriers to access services. These adolescents can also be exposed to deleterious parent-youth cultural conflicts, which may increase their risk for behavioral problems, including the use of alcohol and other drugs. Contextual stressors also have a negative impact the quality of parenting practices of immigrant parents, with associated deleterious consequences for their adolescent children. Although parent training (PT) interventions constitute the gold standard for strengthening parenting practices that are effective protective factors in the lives of adolescents, the availability of efficacious culturally adapted PT interventions in underserved Latinx communities remains scarce throughout the US. Thus, there is an urgent need in the implementation science (IS) field to identify implementation strategies aimed at addressing service gaps affecting Latinx populations. The research aims of this R34 investigation are: (a) To implement a pilot study aimed at refining a culturally adapted version of the evidence-based intervention known as GenerationPMTO© (i.e., CAPAS-Youth), adapted for Latinx immigrant families with adolescent children, (b) to implement a randomized controlled trial, aimed at empirically testing the efficacy of the CAPAS-Youth intervention with first-generation low-income Latinx families in Travis County, (c) to measure barriers and facilitators associated with the implementation of the CAPAS-Youth prevention intervention in the target context, and (d) to measure relevant implementation outcomes to inform a future R01 effectiveness trial. Implementing efficacious prevention initiatives in faith-based organizations constitutes a key alternative to address service barriers experienced by underserved populations. We also propose that by training lay members of target communities as prevention interventionists, the sustainment of prevention programs can be greatly enhanced. This investigation has relevance as we focus on a population that remains understudied in the IS field. The investigation has high public health relevance as it is responsive to Goals 2 and 4 of NIDA’s strategic plan, aimed at “addressing health disparities experienced by populations not adequately served by existing systems of care.”

description: This paper presents explicit closed-form formulae for the determinants of the Laplacians on $n$-dimensional quaternionic projective spaces $\mathsf{P}^n(\mathbb{H})$ ($n \ge 1$). The explicit calculation of this spectral invariant associated with $\mathsf{P}^n(\mathbb{H})$ is novel in the context of spectral theory of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds. Other spectral properties of the Laplacian on $\mathsf{P}^n(\mathbb{H})$ -- the Minakshisundaram-Pleijel coefficients and Minakshisundaram-Pleijelzeta functions are also explicitly discussed.

description: To explore correlated electrons in the presence of local and non-local disorder, the Blackman-Esterling-Berk method for averaging over off-diagonal disorder is implemented into dynamical mean-field theory using tensor notation. The impurity model combining disorder and correlations is solved using the recently developed fork tensor-product state solver, which allows one to calculate the single particle spectral functions on the real-frequency axis. In the absence of off-diagonal hopping, we establish exact bounds of the spectral function of the non-interacting Bethe lattice with coordination number $Z$. In the presence of interaction, the Mott insulating paramagnetic phase of the one-band Hubbard model is computed at zero temperature in alloys with site- and off-diagonal disorder. When the Hubbard $U$ parameter is increased, transitions from an alloy band-insulator through a correlated metal into a Mott insulating phase are found to take place.

description: In freshwater ecosystems, water temperature and discharge are two intrinsically associated triggers of key events in the life cycle of aquatic organisms such as the migration of diadromous fishes. However, global changes have already profoundly altered the thermal and hydrological regimes of rivers, affecting the timing of fish migration as well as the environmental conditions under which it occurs. In this study, we focused on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), an iconic diadromous species whose individuals migrate between marine nursery areas and continental spawning grounds. An innovative multivariate method was developed to analyse long-term datasets of daily water temperature, discharge and both salmon juvenile downstream and adult upstream migrations in three French rivers (the Bresle, Oir and Nivelle rivers). While all three rivers have gradually warmed over the last 35 years, changes in discharge have been very heterogeneous. Juveniles more frequently used warmer temperatures to migrate. Adults migrating a few weeks before spawning more frequently used warm temperatures associated with high discharges. This has already led to modifications in preferential niches of both life stages and suggests a potential mismatch between these populations' ecological preference and changes in their local environment due to global change.

We present a NLO analysis of all observables based on the QCD factorization approach in the low-dilepton mass region and an estimate of Λ/m_b corrections. Moreover, we discuss their sensitivity to new physics. We explore the experimental sensitivities at LHCb (10 fb^-1) and Super-LHCb (100 fb^-1) based on a full-angular fit method and explore the sensitivity to right handed currents. We also show that the previously discussed transversity amplitude A_T^(1) cannot be measured at the LHCb experiment or at future B factory experiments as it requires a measurement of the spin of the final state particles.

description: The annual Kronos Philosophical Journal was established in Warsaw in 2012. The papers presented in the annual might be of interest to the readers from outside Poland, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the dynamic thought of contemporary Polish authors, as well as entirely new topics, rarely discussed by English speaking authors.

"The articles collected in this volume of Kronos and devoted to the work of Martin Hei­degger differ in the attitude the authors take towards Hei­degger’s thought. Some point to the ambivalent dimension of his work, whilst others can be regarded as an apology or a “repetition”. There is plenty to choose from. Taken as a whole, they are a gesture of προσκύνησις and a great tribute paid to the most outstanding philosopher of the twentieth century."

description: CaFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is an $S=5/2$ antiferromagnet exhibiting two magnetic orders which shows regions of coexistence at some temperatures. Using a Green's function formalism, we model neutron scattering data of the spin wave excitations in this material, ellucidating the microscopic spin Hamiltonian. In doing so, we suggest that the low temperature A phase order $(\uparrow\uparrow\downarrow\downarrow)$ finds its origins in the freezing of antiphase boundaries created by thermal fluctuations in a parent B phase order $(\uparrow\downarrow\uparrow\downarrow)$. The low temperature magnetic order observed in CaFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is thus the result of a competition between the exchange coupling along $c$, which favors the B phase, and the single-ion anisotropy which stabilizes thermally-generated antiphase boundaries, leading to static metastable A phase order at low temperatures.

description: We report on efforts to identify large samples of very and extremely metal-poor stars based on medium-resolution spectroscopy and ugriz photometry obtained during the course of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and its extension, SDSS-II, which includes the program SEGUE: Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration. To date, over 8000 stars with [Fe/H] <= -2.0 and effective temperatures in the range 4500K < T_eff < 7000K have been found, with the expected numbers in this temperature range to be well over 10,000 once SEGUE is completed. The numbers roughly double when one includes warmer blue stragglers and Blue Horizontal-Branch (BHB) stars in these counts. We show the observed low-metallicity tails of the Metallicity Distribution Functions for the cooler SDSS/SEGUE stars obtained thus far. We also comment on the confirmation of an inner/outer halo dichotomy in the Milky Way, and on how this realization may be used to direct searches for even more metal-poor stars in the near future.

description: Scaling predictions and results from self-consistent field calculations for bottle-brush polymers with a rigid backbone and flexible side chains under good solvent conditions are summarized and their validity and applicability is assessed by a comparison with Monte Carlo simulations of a simple lattice model. It is shown that under typical conditions, as they are also present in experiments, only a rather weak stretching of the side chains is realized, and then the scaling predictions based on the extension of the Daoud-Cotton blob picture are not applicable. Also two-component bottle brush polymers are considered, where two types (A,B) of side chains are grafted, assuming that monomers of different kind repel each other. In this case, variable solvent quality is allowed for, such that for poor solvent conditions rather dense cylinder-like structures result. Theories predict ``Janus Cylinder''-type phase separation along the backbone in this case. The Monte Carlo simulations, using the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method (PERM) then are restricted to rather short side chain length. Nevertheless, evidence is obtained that the phase separation between an A-rich part of the cylindrical molecule and a B-rich part can only occur locally. The correlation length of this microphase separation can be controlled by the solvent quality. This lack of a phase transition is interpreted by an analogy with models for ferromagnets in one space dimension.

description: Ethereum Smart Contracts based on Blockchain Technology (BT)enables monetary transactions among peers on a blockchain network independent of a central authorizing agency. Ethereum smart contracts are programs that are deployed as decentralized applications, having the building blocks of the blockchain consensus protocol. This enables consumers to make agreements in a transparent and conflict-free environment. However, there exist some security vulnerabilities within these smart contracts that are a potential threat to the applications and their consumers and have shown in the past to cause huge financial losses. In this study, we review the existing literature and broadly classify the BT applications. As Ethereum smart contracts find their application mostly in e-commerce applications, we believe these are more commonly vulnerable to attacks. In these smart contracts, we mainly focus on identifying vulnerabilities that programmers and users of smart contracts must avoid. This paper aims at explaining eight vulnerabilities that are specific to the application level of BT by analyzing the past exploitation case scenarios of these security vulnerabilities. We also review some of the available tools and applications that detect these vulnerabilities in terms of their approach and effectiveness. We also investigated the availability of detection tools for identifying these security vulnerabilities and lack thereof to identify some of them

description: Gravitational coupling between protoplanetary discs and planets embedded in them leads to the emergence of spiral density waves, which evolve into shocks as they propagate through the disc. We explore the performance of a semi-analytical framework for describing the nonlinear evolution of the global planet-driven density waves, focusing on the low planet mass regime (below the so-called thermal mass). We show that this framework accurately captures the (quasi-)self-similar evolution of the wave properties expressed in terms of properly rescaled variables, provided that certain theoretical inputs are calibrated using numerical simulations (an approximate, first principles calculation of the wave evolution based on the inviscid Burgers equation is in qualitative agreement with simulations but overpredicts wave damping at the quantitative level). We provide fitting formulae for such inputs, in particular, the strength and global shape of the planet-driven shock accounting for nonlinear effects. We use this nonlinear framework to theoretically compute vortensity production in the disc by the global spiral shock and numerically verify the accuracy of this calculation. Our results can be used for interpreting observations of spiral features in discs, kinematic signatures of embedded planets in CO line emission ("kinks"), and for understanding the emergence of planet-driven vortices in protoplanetary discs.

description: The operator product expansion of massless celestial primary operators of arbitrary spin is investigated. Poincaré symmetry is found to imply a set of recursion relations on the operator product expansion coefficients of the leading singular terms at tree-level in a holomorphic limit. The symmetry constraints are solved by an Euler beta function with arguments that depend simply on the right-moving conformal weights of the operators in the product. These symmetry-derived coefficients are shown not only to match precisely those arising from momentum-space tree-level collinear limits, but also to obey an infinite number of additional symmetry transformations that respect the algebra of ${\rm w}_{1+\infty}$. In tree-level minimally-coupled gravitational theories, celestial currents are constructed from light transforms of conformally soft gravitons and found to generate the action of ${\rm w}_{1+\infty}$ on arbitrary massless celestial primaries. Results include operator product expansion coefficients for fermions as well as those arising from higher-derivative non-minimal couplings of gluons and gravitons.

description: We report the detection of X-ray pulsations from the rotation-powered millisecond-period pulsars PSR J0740+6620 and PSR J1614-2230, two of the most massive neutron stars known, using observations with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). We also analyze X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) data for both pulsars to obtain their time-averaged fluxes and study their respective X-ray fields. PSR J0740+6620 exhibits a broad double-peaked profile with a separation of ~0.4 in phase. PSR J1614-2230, on the other hand, has a broad single-peak profile. The broad modulations with soft X-ray spectra of both pulsars are indicative of thermal radiation from one or more small regions of the stellar surface. We show the NICER detections of X-ray pulsations for both pulsars and also discuss the phase relationship to their radio pulsations. In the case of PSR J0740+6620, this paper documents the data reduction performed to obtain the pulsation detection and prepare for pulse profile modeling analysis.

description: We report measurements of the de Haas - van Alphen effect on a series of compounds, LaMIn$_{5}$ (M = Co, Rh, Ir). The results show that each of the Co and Ir Fermi surfaces (FSs) exhibit some portions that are two dimensional and some portions that are three dimensional. The most two dimensional character is exhibited in LaCoIn$_{5}$, less two dimensional behavior is seen in LaIrIn$_{5}$, no part of Fermi surface of LaRhIn$_{5}$ is found to have a two dimensional character. Thus the two dimensionality of portions of the FSs is largely determined by the d character of the energy bands while all of the effective masses remain $\leq$ 1.2. This fact has implications for the causes of the heavy fermion nature of superconductivity and magnetism in the Ce-based compounds having the similar composition and structure. All of the measurements were performed at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory using either cantilever magnetometry or field modulation methods.

description: We present a search for B decays to a charged scalar meson a0+ and a pi0 where the a0+ decays to an eta meson and a pi+. The analysis was performed on a data sample consisting of 383x10-6 BBbar pairs collected with the Babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We find no significant signal and set an upper limit on the product branching fraction BF[(B+ -> a0+ pi0) x (a0+ -> eta pi+)] of 1.4x10-6 at the 90% confidence level.

description: The complete lack of theoretical understanding of the quantum critical states found in the heavy fermion metals and the normal states of the high-T$_c$ superconductors is routed in deep fundamental problem of condensed matter physics: the infamous minus signs associated with Fermi-Dirac statistics render the path integral non-probabilistic and do not allow to establish a connection with critical phenomena in classical systems. Using Ceperley's constrained path-integral formalism we demonstrate that the workings of scale invariance and Fermi-Dirac statistics can be reconciled. The latter is self-consistently translated into a geometrical constraint structure. We prove that this "nodal hypersurface" encodes the scales of the Fermi liquid and turns fractal when the system becomes quantum critical. To illustrate this we calculate nodal surfaces and electron momentum distributions of Feynman backflow wave functions and indeed find that with increasing backflow strength the quasiparticle mass gradually increases, to diverge when the nodal structure becomes fractal. Such a collapse of a Fermi liquid at a critical point has been observed in the heavy-fermion intermetallics in a spectacular fashion.

description: A Bragg resonator uses dielectric plates within a metallic cavity to confine the energy within a central free space region. The importance of the permittivity is shown with a better Q-factor possible using higher permittivity materials of larger intrinsic dielectric losses. This is because the electric energy in the reflectors decreases proportionally to the square root of permittivity and the coupling to the metallic losses decrease linearly. In a sapphire resonator with a single reflector pair a Q-factor of 2.34x10^5 is obtained, which may be improved on by up to a factor of 2 using higher permittivity materials.

description: Целью проведённых исследований является выявление и изучение причин, вы-зывающих белоколосицу у озимой пшеницы в зоне неустойчивого увлажнения Ставропольского края. Такое явление, как белоколосость, наблюдается на полях озимой пшеницы в период от начала созревания до полной спелости. Среди полноценных зелёных колосьев выделяются единично или очагами осветлённые колосья. Если полноценный колос под тяжестью наливающегося зерна наклоняется к земле, то светлый высохший колос обычно прямостоячий и пустой. При этом стебель может быть также высохшим или зелёным. Установлено несколько причин белоколососицы: болезни корневой и прикорневой зоны растений пшеницы, поражающие всходы, болезни стеблей и колоса. Белоколосицу могут вызывать повреждения растений в течение всей вегетации. Потери урожая при этом могут доходить до 50%. К незначительной белоколосице приводят и механические повреждения колосьев по краям полей после прохода техники.
description: The purpose of the research is to identify and study the causes of white heads in winter wheat in the zone of unstable moisture in the Stavropol Territory. Such phenomenon as white head is observed in winter wheat fields during the period from the beginning of ripening to full-ripe stage. Among the full-grown green wheat heads, one can observe single or patches of white wheat heads. While the full-grown wheat head leans to the ground under the weight of kernels, the white and dry wheat heads are usually erect and empty. At the same time, the stem may also be dried-up or green. It depends on the cause of these symptoms. Several causes that lead to white heads were identified. These are diseases of the root and root zone of wheat plants that afflict the germination. They are the diseases of stems and wheat head. White head disease can be caused by damage of plants during the whole growing season. Thus, the reduction in yields can be up to 50%. Mechanical damage of wheat heads at the border of fields after machinery use can also cause insignificant amount of white heads.

description: PSR J0740$+$6620 has a gravitational mass of $2.08\pm 0.07~M_\odot$, which is the highest reliably determined mass of any neutron star. As a result, a measurement of its radius will provide unique insight into the properties of neutron star core matter at high densities. Here we report a radius measurement based on fits of rotating hot spot patterns to Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) and X-ray Multi-Mirror (XMM-Newton) X-ray observations. We find that the equatorial circumferential radius of PSR J0740$+$6620 is $13.7^{+2.6}_{-1.5}$ km (68%). We apply our measurement, combined with the previous NICER mass and radius measurement of PSR J0030$+$0451, the masses of two other $\sim 2~M_\odot$ pulsars, and the tidal deformability constraints from two gravitational wave events, to three different frameworks for equation of state modeling, and find consistent results at $\sim 1.5-3$ times nuclear saturation density. For a given framework, when all measurements are included the radius of a $1.4~M_\odot$ neutron star is known to $\pm 4$% (68% credibility) and the radius of a $2.08~M_\odot$ neutron star is known to $\pm 5$%. The full radius range that spans the $\pm 1σ$ credible intervals of all the radius estimates in the three frameworks is $12.45\pm 0.65$ km for a $1.4~M_\odot$ neutron star and $12.35\pm 0.75$ km for a $2.08~M_\odot$ neutron star.

Power & Energy Magazine - Volume 21: Issue 3 - May/June 2023 - Power Outage: Power Systems Blackouts
Creators: Innocent Kamwa
Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2023

The theme of this issue is power system blackouts. A blackout in power system operation is defined as large-scale interrup-tion of power in multiple service areas. Reliability and se-curity are the two most important criteria in power grids design, installation, operation, and planning. In many parts of the world, the endeavor from generations of power pro-fessionals helps keep the power system availability above 99%. Nevertheless, like many other large-scale, complex en-gineering systems, interruptions happen all the time, most of which are caused by inevitable aging failures or damages in extreme events, for instance, winter storms, hurricane, earthquake, and wild fire.
