An improved method of counting acoustic emission (AE) events from water-stressed stems of cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) is presented. Amplified AEs are analyzed on a real time basis by a microcomputer. The instrumentation counts AE events in a fashion nearly analogous to scintillation counting of radioactive materials.The technique was applied to measuring ultrasonic AEs from the stems of cedar...

Наведено методику виконання експериментальних досліджень із отримання асептичної культури для подальшого мі...

High interest in ornamental plants as an element of landscaping has been actively going on recent years. In urban green construction, it is increasingly possible to meet not native local species, but introduced plants, which urbanized environments are many cases more stable and durable. For several years, we have studying the selection root formation stimulants, well their necessary concentrati...
