The effect of different light regimes (100, 85 and 70 % solar exposition) on coffee plants (Coffea arabica L. var. Caturra) was studied. There was an overall effect of solar exposition levels on growth at different crop growth stages, plant height and stem diameter being the most affected variables with higher values in 85 % solar exposition. Relative water content showed daily variations with ...

This paper is intended to offer a pedagogical treatment of inflationary cosmology, which is accessible to undergraduates. In recent years, inflation has become accepted as a standard scenario making predictions that are testable by observations of the cosmic background. It is therefore manifest that anyone wishing to pursue the study of cosmology and large-scale structure should have this scena...

The Miami Conservancy District built five flood control dams after the catastrophic flood of 1913 in Dayton, Ohio. Lockington Dam was one of these five hydraulic fill structures. The Ohio State Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) issued new regulations in 1981 requiring that design flood for class I dams be considered equal to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Flood routing studies performed...

This paper describes progress of project focused on health management and occupational safety of firefighter units’ members, especially from thermal exposition point of view. After introduction is described evolution of design of the prototypes of a pocket personal measurement device. The next part deals with the selection of precise temperature, humidity and body activity sensors. Attention is...
