Seed Viability in Miscanthus Grown in Different Hardiness Zones

Physico-chemical properties of nettle seed oils grown in Iran

Winter cold-tolerance thresholds in field-grown Miscanthus hybrid rhizomes

The cold tolerance of winter-dormant rhizomes was evaluated in diploid, allotriploid, and allotetraploid hybrids of Miscanthus sinensis and Miscanthus sacchariflorus grown in a field setting. Two artificial freezing protocols were tested: one lowered the temperature continuously by 1°C h(-1) to the treatment temperature and another lowered the temperature in stages of 24h each to the treatment ...

Interfacial roughness effects on interlayer coupling in spin valves grown on different seed layers

We have studied the behavior of interlayer coupling in giant magnetoresistance spin valves as a function of seed layer composition and spacer layer thickness. Using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy, we have measured directly the roughness of the top surface of the lower ferromagnetic layer. We find that the seed layer composition is correlated to the roughnesses of the interfaces inside th...

determination of maximal singularity free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulator

due to the limiting workspace of parallel manipulator and regarding to finding the trajectory planning of singularity free at workspace is difficult, so finding a best solution that can develop a technique to determine the singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators is highly important. in this thesis a simple and new technique are presented to determine the maximal singula...

Landscape Performance, Flowering, and Seed Viability of 15 Japanese Silver Grass Cultivars Grown in Northern and Southern Florida

Japanese silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis) and 14 cultivars were transplanted in northern and southern Florida and evaluated for landscape performance, fl owering, growth, and seed viability. All plants survived the 84-week study at both locations with the exception of ‘Morning Light’, where 22% to 33% of the plants died. In northern and southern Florida, ‘Arabesque’, ‘Adagio’, ‘Cosmopolitan’,...
