Partial submergence induces rapid internodal elongation in deepwater rice (Oryza sativa L., cv Habiganj Aman II). We measured in vivo extensibility, tissue tension, hydraulic conductance and osmotic potential in the region of cell elongation in the uppermost internode. The in vivo extensibility of the internode, measured by stretching of living tissue with a custom-made constant stress extensio...

Airlifting technology utilized in deep-sea mining (DSM) industry was proposed in the 70s of last century, which was triggered by the discovery of vast amounts of mineral resources on the seabed. The objective of this paper is to assess the technological feasibility and profitability analyses in terms of solid production rate, energy consumption per tonnage of mineral, and profitability per tonn...

Riparian or aquatic vegetation thrives with seasons. The understanding of canopies' Submergence-Ratio (SR = stem height/water depth) influence on suspended sediment transport is still limited. Thus, Large Eddy Simulations coupled the Discrete Phase Method are used to investigate particles' three-dimensional distribution in a partially vegetated straight channel. spanwise particles quantified by...

Several studies have employed rotating biological contactors (RBCs) for nitrogen removal. However, partially submersed disks are used for nitrification, while completely submersed disks are used for denitrification. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of disk submergence in the performance of rotating biological contactors, in terms of the denitrification process. Two RBCs...

scour around hydraulic structures is an inevitable phenomenon . recognition of this phenomenon and dealing with it is an issue considering which will ensure the project success . local scour at piers has been reported as the most important factor in the destruction of the bridges . the use of submerged and non-submerged piles is one of the scour control methods . submerged piles have been rarel...

Abstract. Nio SA, Ludong DPM, Siahaan R. 2022. Short communication: Pattern of chlorophylls content declined during partial submergence for rice varieties cultivated in North Sulawesi at the vegetative stage. Biodiversitas 23: 2451-2456. Submergence or flooding stress limits plant growth various physiological, anatomical, and morphological aspects. This study examined leaf chlorophyll as a phys...

Seed longevity, a fundamental plant trait for ex situ conservation and persistence in the soil of many species, varies across populations and generations that experience different climates. Mondoni et al. (pp. 1257–1263) study seeds from alpine and lowland populations of Silene vulgaris and show that seed longevity has a genetic basis but may show strong adaptive responses, which are associated...

Hydraulic models of rivers are essential for vulnerability assessment in disaster management. This study simulates the 2019 Typhoon Hagibis at Nanakita River using a dynamic roughness model. The model estimates river on pixel level from relationship between Manning coefficient and degree submergence vegetation. is defined as ratio water depth to plant height. After validating model, effect vege...
