Bioherbicides are naturally originated products posing alternatives to synthetic herbicides for weed control. The objective of this study was evaluate the efficacy pelargonic acid and microencapsulated caraway essential oil on barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P.Beauv.) johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense Pers.). Two separate pot experiments were conducted at Agricultural University Athens...

Any fracture process ultimately involves the rupture of atomic bonds. Processes at the atomic scale therefore critically influence the toughness and overall fracture behavior of materials. Atomistic simulationmethods including large-scalemolecular dynamics simulations with classical potentials, density functional theory calculations and advanced concurrent multiscale methods have led to new ins...

The research proposes a hydrological model to forecast recessive flows and it estimates depletion coefficient for the "Jequetepeque" river, water from top of "Gallito Ciego",Contumazá, Peru. Recessive were used third break point flow hydrograph "Yonán" station period 1988-2019. An exponential category (ALVI) was used. Ranges coefficients 0.0148 < α 0.0003 day-1, calibration 0.005 day-1were i...

A Research Committee was established by the Weed Science Society of America to outline the direction of weed science research during the next decade. Weeds adversely affect humans in both agricultural and nonagricultural environments. It is the opinion of the research committee that weed science will be advantageously positioned for the future if research focuses on research decision processes,...

In this paper, an in-wheel vibration absorber for In-wheel-motor electric vehicle (IWM EV) is designed, and a comprehensive control strategy of in-wheel absorber and vehicle suspension is proposed to improve vehicle ride comfort. The proposed in-wheel vibration absorber, designed for suppressing the motor vibration, is composed of a spring and a controllable damper. The values of in-wheel sprin...

Abstract: This paper presents an in-wheel vibration absorber for in-wheel-motor electric vehicles (IWM EVs), and a corresponding control strategy to improve vehicle ride comfort. The proposed in-wheel vibration absorber, designed for suppressing the motor vibrations, is composed of a spring, an annular rubber bushing, and a controllable damper. The parameters of the in-wheel spring and rubber b...

Abstract Land degradation in the form of soil erosion is one major causes for declining ecosystem functions northern highlands Ethiopia including Eastern Tigray. Hence, different integrated watershed management practices were introduced last few years to avert problem. Currently, most these are phased out. However, status and challenges after phase-out not well documented required scientific re...

OBJECTIVE This article aims to analyze the difference in stresses generated in the bracket-cement-tooth system by means of a peel load in single and double-mesh bracket bases using a three-dimensional finite element computer model. MATERIAL AND METHODS A three-dimensional finite element model of the bracket-cement-tooth system was constructed and consisted of 40,536 bonds and 49,201 finite el...

In this research, a Decision Support System (“DSS”) was developed, using a combination of various existing models for Integrated Water Management (“IWM”). This DSS is then applied to a small urbanized basin, the Taguri-River basin in Japan. In developing the DSS, different existing dynamic and steady state models were combined. These models include a rainfall-runoff analysis model, two river an...
