Biomass of legumes grown as catch crops improves soil properties and thus soil conditions for following crops. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) grown as a catch crop and used for green manure on soil properties and yielding of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Field experiments were conducted in 2008-2011 in the randomized block design with ...

Antimony is a type of critical metal for the energy transition. The antimony industry chain distributed among major developed and developing countries around world. With development clean technology, demand in photovoltaic storage fields will increase significantly. Considering significant changes global products serious supply shortage, people should pay more attention to risk related chain. I...

A ring [Formula: see text] is said to be clean if each element of can written as the sum a unit and an idempotent. weakly either or difference idempotent, feebly every text], where are orthogonal idempotents. Clearly, rings both them clean. In recent paper (J. Algebra Appl. 17 (2018) 1850111 (5 pp.)), McGoven characterized when group clean, distinct primes. this paper, we consider more general ...

Midstream modulation is a form of public engagement with science which benefits from strategic application of science and technology studies (STS) insights accumulated over nearly 20 years. These have been developed from STS researchers' involvement in practical engagement processes and research with scientists, science funders, policy and other public stakeholders. The strategic aim of this sp...

BACKGROUND Urinalysis testing is frequently ordered in the emergency department (ED), but contamination of urine specimens limits the interpretation of results. The mid-stream, clean-catch (MSCC) procedure for urine specimen collection is recommended to decrease contamination rates, but without instructions this procedure has poor compliance. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of written...

Biocontrol, or Biological Control, can be defined as the use of natural organisms, or genetically modified, genes or gene products, to reduce the effects of undesirable organisms to favour organisms useful to human, such as crops, trees, animals and beneficial microorganisms. This strategy of control is ecologicaly clean and compatible with different models of agriculture: organic, biological a...

This document contains several corrections and remarks for the Dynamic Cooperative Cleaners problem and for the CLEAN and SWEEP cleaning protocols, which were presented in previous works [1, 2].

We consider ancestry labeling schemes: Given a rooted tree T , assign a binary string (label) to each node, such that given the labels of any two nodes, one can determine whether the first is an ancestor of the second in T . Recently, Fraigniaud and Korman [STOC’10] showed that such labels can be assigned using log n+O(log log n) bits per label, solving a long standing open question and matchin...

The stability of a fishery system was investigated using two forms of a stochastic computer simulation model that was individually based in terms of the fishing boats. Fish catch was partitioned among boats according to two catch processes: an unranked process in which all boats had equal ability to catch fish and a ranked catch model in which a boat’s ability to catch fish depended on its weal...
