The severe incidences of Microcystis blooming in 1980s of the Sagami and Tsukui reservoirs, located in Sagami river, Japan were effectively controlled by the installation of 8 and 5 bubbling circulation systems, respectively. However, the blooming had started again in those reservoirs. It was found that those algal blooming occurred due to the formation of strong stratification following a temp...

abstract almond is an important nut tree which is cultivated in many mediterranean countries. this study was carried out to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics and their correlation in some self-compatible and self-incompatible genotypes obtained from crossing between touno (male parent) and shahrood 12 (female parent). quantitat...

When CCD image sensor is exposed to very intense light , an excess charge is generated in photodiode. This excess charge may leak into neighboring cells. This phenomenon is called Blooming. To stop blooming phenomenon an Overflow Drain structure is adapted to suppress this excess charge. In this paper CCD Image sensor with a Vertical Overflow Drain (VOD) structure is investigated in one and two...

In documenting biological responses to climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has used phenology studies from many parts of the world, but data from the high latitudes of North America are missing. In the present article, we evaluate climate trends and the corresponding changes in sequential bloom times for seven plant species in the central parklands of Alberta, Canada (...

The algal blooming in the inland lakes has become a critically important issue for its impacts not only on local natural and social environments, but also on global human community. However, the occurrences of blooming on larger spatial scale and longer time scale have rarely been studied. As the third largest freshwater lake in China, Lake Taihu has drawn increasing attention from both public ...

● Baskground and aimr The scarcity and unpredictability of active pollinators during late winter in temperate areas tends to favour extended flowering seasons and increased floral longevity in early blooming species, which are usually pollinated by diverse sets of insects. Daphne laureola is a gynodioecious woody perennial that flowers from January to April in southern Spain, a period character...
