The livelihoods of millions rice farmers in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta have become increasingly vulnerable due to reduced rainfall and the resulting water stress. In this context, promoting water-saving practices, such as alternate wetting drying technology, is vital sustain production enhance people’s resilience climatic changes Delta. Since technology not widely applied region, study hypothesized...

in oil industry, spontaneous imbibition is an important phenomenon in recovery from fractured reservoirs which can be defined as spontaneous uptake of a wetting fluid into a porous solid. spontaneous imbibition involves both cocurrent and countercurrent flows. when a matrix block is partially covered by water, oil recovery is dominated by cocurrent imbibition i.e. the production of non wetting ...

Rice is one of the most important food crops contributing over 39% of the total food grain production in China. Out of 113 million hectares of area sown under food crops 28% is covered by rice. The traditional irrigation regime for rice, termed as “continuous deep flooding irrigation” was applied in China before 1970s. A tremendous amount of water was used for the rice growing and only a low yi...

A key factor influencing a drug's efficacy is its residence time in the binding pocket of the host protein. Using atomistic computer simulation to predict this residence time and the associated dissociation process is a desirable but extremely difficult task due to the long timescales involved. This gets further complicated by the presence of biophysical factors such as steric and solvation eff...
