Choice of Law: A Well-Watered Plateau

A comparison of summertime water and CO2 fluxes over rangeland for well watered and drought conditions

Continuous measurements of the surface energy balance components (net radiation Rn, sensible heat flux H, latent heat flux LE, ground heat flux G, and CO2 fluxes began in early June of 1995 at the Little Washita Watershed, near Chickasha, Oklahoma. A severe drought during 1998 provided a unique opportunity to evaluate the range of fluxes that can be expected during the summer period. Data obtai...

Well-posedness of a singular balance law

We define entropy weak solutions and establish well-posedness for the Cauchy problem for the formal equation ∂tu(t, x) + ∂x u 2 (t, x) = −λu(t, x) δ0(x), which can be seen as two Burgers equations coupled in a non-conservative way through the interface located at x = 0. This problem appears as an important auxiliary step in the theoretical and numerical study of the one-dimensional particle-in-...

Effect on Quality Characteristics of Tomatoes Grown Under Well-Watered and Drought Stress Conditions

Tomatoes are one of the most nutritionally and economically important crops in New Zealand and around the world. Tomatoes require large amounts of water to grow well and are adversely affected by drought stress. However, few studies have evaluated the physicochemical characteristics of commercial tomatoes grown under water stress conditions. Four tomato cultivars (Incas, Marmande, Scoresby Dwar...

Regulation of grain yield in rice under well-watered and drought stress conditions by GUDK

Increasing the grain yield of cereals, which is stable under unfavorable environmental stress, is a major objective to sustain production and feed the growing world population. Recently, we functionally characterized a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, named GROWTH UNDER DROUGHT KINASE (GUDK), revealing its role in regulating grain yield under well-watered and drought stress conditions by trans...
