in this paper the control algorithm for controlled civil structures subjected to earthquake excitation is thoroughly investigated. the objective of this work is the control of structures by means of the pole placement algorithm, in order to improve their response against earthquake actions. successful application of the algorithm requires judicious placement of the closed-loop eigenvalues from ...

We have recently identified cytokinin as an important xylem-carried signal involved in the photosynthetic acclimation of plants to light gradients in dense canopies. Lower leaves become shaded in a dense canopy and consequently have reduced transpiration rates. our measurements have shown that this results in a reduced delivery of cytokinins carried in the transpiration stream to shaded leaves,...

This study contrasted the anthocyanins of investigational grape clusters that developed without light incidence (light-excluded), to those of control clusters that were shaded naturally beneath the vine canopy (control-shaded). Treatment grape clusters were light-excluded during ripening by opaque white polypropylene enclosures; temperature, vapor pressure deficit, and light intensity were meas...
