In this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. Parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. Investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...

Competition between herbivorous insects often occurs as a trait mediated indirect effect mediated by inducible changes in plant quality rather than a direct effect mediated by plant biomass. While plant-mediated competition likely influences many herbivores, progress linking studies of plant-mediated competition in terrestrial phytophagous insects to longerterm consequences for herbivore commun...

the plant promoting bacteria as biological fertilizers play an important role in increasing productivity and improving plant growth in stress condition. in order to evaluate the ability of plant promoting bacteria rhizobacteria on germination and growth of corn under salinity conditions, a pot experiment was conducted in factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replication...

Offline simulation is often used by plant builders for the design of metallurgical plants and to ensure that performance expectations are met. Whereas some simulation models cover operations across the complete plant (e.g., throughput calculations), smaller simulation models focus on individual topics such as closed-loop control, vibration behavior and the functionality of single components. Th...

The decisions animals make to adjust their antipredator behavior to rapidly changing conditions have been well studied. Inducible defenses in plants are an antipredator behavior that acts on a longer time scale, but sensitive plants, Mimosa pudica, have a much more rapid antipredator response; they temporarily close their leaves when touched. The time they remain closed is defined as hiding tim...

Under the general trend of smart grid development in China, it has especially importance to maintain stability power generation, safety operation and reliability supply. However, most plants need participate frequency regulation market spot market, resulting frequent load fluctuations often unstable operating conditions generation equipment. In this study, a real-time monitoring method based on...
