Sustainability of rice production under limited water conditions is threatened by increasing irrigation water scarcity. Therefore, physiological and morphological responses of rice to varying water stress management strategies should be determined. The physiological and morphological responses of a semi dwarf rice (Hashemi cultivar) to water stress intensities (mild and severe, i.e., short-dura...

Flood irrigation after crop harvest, e.g. autumn (AI), is a common practice in arid and semi-arid regions like Hetao Irrigation District (HID) Northwest China to increase soil moisture leach salt. Detailed information about the extent, timing, amount of AI imperative for modeling agro-hydrological processes management. However, little attention given identification above factors. There are basi...

This study provides the first data on muscle activity patterns during active feeding in a larval anuran. Data regarding muscle function during gill irrigation and hyperexpiration are also provided. Electromyographic and kinematic data were recorded from six mandibular and hyoid muscles in unanesthetized, unrestrained larvae of Rana catesbeiana. Only three (hyoangularis, orbitohyoideus, anterior...

We describe the implementation of irrigation and blood simulation using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in a cranial base surgical simulator. Graphical accuracy of virtual surgery is a significant goal for improving the realism and immersive experience of computerized training environments. For temporal bone micro-surgery fluids contribute not only to the visual integrity of the surgical ...

Flood irrigation is often applied in the arid regions of Northwest China to facilitate leaching salts accumulated soil during cotton growth previous season. This will, turn, affect temporal and spatial patterns salinity, thus germination. To reveal salinity two layers (0–20 cm 20–60 cm), so as determine optimal sowing timing, an electronic ground conductivity meter (EM38-MK2) was employed measu...

In order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and plant density on yieldcomponent and protein concentration and crop water stress index (CWSI), under research fieldconditions a split plot arrangement was conducted in completely randomized block designduring two years. The first factor of variables was the effects of 4 irrigation levels 120% (I1),100% (I2), 80% (I3) and 60% (I4) ...
