Introduction: The NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) Mars Tumbleweed rover is a concept for a lightweight, spherical, deployable structure, with a configuration that maximizes drag to capture the Martian wind for mobility and extended mission duration. The wind-blown mobility of a Tumbleweed rover makes it an ideal platform for conducting distributed geophysical and meteorological surveys of b...

Cultivation of salt-tolerant crops help to face irreversible global salinization freshwater and soils. In New-Caledonia, three halophytes are candidates for saline crops, Salsola australis R.Br., Suaeda maritima (L.) Dumort Enchylaena tomentosa R.Br. Their success quality depend yet on availabilities salinity essential nutrients in agrosystems. So, we investigated effects salinities, i.e., cont...

A biodiversity survey of Great Rann Kachchh was carried out from August 2021 to January 2022. During this survey, Salsola oppositifolia Desf recorded as a new record for the India. It various localities Kachchh. included hilly outcrops, muddy saline, bunds on fringes rann, etc.

Russian thistle or tumbleweed (Salsola tragus L.) is an introduced invasive weed in N. America. It is widely distributed in the U.S. and is a target of biological control efforts. The obligate biotrophic rust fungus Uromyces salsolae Reichardt is a candidate biological control agent of Russian thistle, and host range tests were conducted in quarantine to determine whether the fungus is safe to ...

This paper is intended to shed light on the extent of poverty in the Russian Federation. We present estimates of poverty lines and poverty ratios derived from subjective questions used in a during data collection for a large household panel (RUSSET). We estimate poverty using a subjective approach, where the level of the poverty line is derived using the opinion of the individual, rich or poor,...
