The paper evaluated the tolerance of 19 wheat genotypes in the seedling stage grown in hydroponic conditions to induced osmotic stress.Desiccation osmotic stress simulating natural drought stress was induced using the chemical compound polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000).Tolerance of genotypes to induced osmotic stress is shown by stress indices: stress
Relativistic bound state approach to fundamental forces including gravitation
To describe the structure of particle bound states of nature, a relativistic bound state formalism is presented, which requires a Lagrangian including scalar coupling of two boson fields.The underlying mechanisms are quite complex and require an interplay of overlapping boson fields and fermion-antifermion production.This gives rise to two potentia
Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm Combining Ranking-Based Elastic Collision
To improve the shortcomings of the read more sparrow search algorithm (SSA), such as the loss of diversity due to inadequate population initialization results and the susceptibility to interference from individual location information during exploration and exploitation, which affect the accuracy of the search, an improved sparrow search algorithm
Effect of inner channel geometry on solidification performance of phase change material (PCM) in double-pipe thermal energy storage
Advantages such as high energy storage density and low heat losses have made phase 5326058hx change materials (PCMs) preferable in energy storage.However, the very low thermal conductivity of PCMs is the most important obstacle to improving melting and solidification performance of PCMs.To improve the thermal conductivity of PCM, the combination of
The Health and Occupation Research Network: An Evolving Surveillance System
Vital to the prevention of work-related ill-health (WRIH) is the availability of good quality data regarding WRIH burden and risks.Physician-based surveillance systems such as The Health and Occupation Research (THOR) network in the UK are often established in response to limitations of statutory, compensation-based systems for addressing certain e
