One of the effective ways for reducing atmospheric CO2 is carbon sequestration by plants and soils. Rangelands with an expanded area have a great potential for Carbon (C) Stocks. In this study, C stocks in three treatments including natural rangelands (NR), Pit- seeding by Agropyrum elongatum (PS) and abandoned dry farming (ADF) were examined in Kardeh basin Mashhad, Iran in 2013. In each treat...

This paper provides nested sets and vector representations of knockout tournaments. The paper introduces classification of probability domain assumptions and a new set of axioms. Two new seeding methods are proposed: equal gap seeding and increasing competitive intensity seeding. Under different probability domain assumptions, several axiomatic justifications are obtained for equal gap seeding....

A novel rotor was constructed to allow for the seeding of porous scaffolds via centrifugal force. Using cell seeding times of 10 min, this method placed significantly (roughly 3-fold) more cells into poly(glycolic acid) scaffolds than 24 h of spinner flask seeding or static seeding. There were no significant differences in the mitochondrial activity per cell between the 3 seeding methods. Cell ...

Future rice production problems are related to global warming and water scarcity due climate change. For efficient sustainable production, flood irrigation management high nitrogen applications must be modified. Among the main recommendations include incorporation of fertilizer at critical stages crop, use direct seeding in dry soil instead transplanting method. This manuscript brings together ...
