The atmospheres of terrestrial planets are expected to be in long-term radiation balance: an increase in the absorption of solar radiation warms the surface and troposphere, which leads to a matching increase in the emission of thermal radiation. Warming a wet planet such as Earth would make the atmosphere moist and optically thick such that only thermal radiation emitted from the upper troposp...

1. Abstract The most important factors for the quality and productivity of plant growth are temperature, humidity, light and the level of the carbon dioxide. Continuous monitoring of these environmental variables gives information to the grower to better understand, how each factor affects growth and how to manage maximal crop productiveness .The optimal greenhouse climate adjustment can enable...

Rubisco I's specificity, which today may be almost perfectly tuned to the task of cultivating the global garden, controlled the balance of carbon gases and O(2) in the Precambrian ocean and hence, by equilibration, in the air. Control of CO(2) and O(2) by rubisco I, coupled with CH(4) from methanogens, has for the past 2.9 Ga directed the global greenhouse warming, which maintains liquid oceans...

In this work we present an application developed in Derive 6 to compose counterpoints for a given melody (“cantus firmus”). The result is non deterministic, so different counterpoints can be generated for a fixed melody, all of them obeying classical rules of counterpoint. It is also possible that the counterpoint could not be generated, in this case, backtracking techniques have been implement...

Musical scores are some of the most important learning tools for musicians’ acquisition of musical knowledge. However, despite their educational relevance, very little is known about how music students conceive of these cultural external representations. Given that these conceptions might act as mediators of students’ learning approaches, the importance of knowing these conceptions seems eviden...

The environmental temperature plays an important role in the growing crops. How to make use of computer technology to realize automatic control ambient temperature of greenhouse is a hot issue in the intelligent agriculture. The control of environmental temperature in modern greenhouses is collected and analyzed by monitoring system of greenhouse environment based on Labview software and wirele...
