In two glasshouse experiments, relations between sugarbeet root dry weight (y, expressed as a percentage of the maximum dry root weight), and preplanting populations of Heterodera schachtii (P(i)) were described by the equation y = 100(Z)(P(i)-T), in which Z = a constant slightly smaller than 1, and T = the tolerance limit (the value of P(i) below which damage was not measureable). T varied wit...

Damage control refers to those actions made towards minimizing damage or loss. Depending on the context, these can range from emergency procedures dealing with the sinking of a ship or to a surgery dealing with severe trauma or even to an imaginary company in Marvel comics, which repairs damaged property arising from conflicts between super heroes and villains. In the context of host microbe in...

this study investigated the influence of nanoclay on the impact damage resistance of glass fiber-epoxy composites under high velocity ice impact loading. addition of 0.5 wt. % nanoclay into epoxy was shown to improve damage resistance compared to composite plates having no nanoclay platelet. the glass fiber-epoxy composites containing nanoclay brought about substantial improvement in ice impact...

nowadays, a lot of frost damage is inflicted upon vineyards because of changing weather conditions as well as introducing new of cultivars and genotypes from different geographical regions. on the other hand, the prevalence of a wide variety of grapes in iran, the provides possibility of selection of superior and cold tolerant varieties (or single plants) which is proposed a strong hypothetical...
