Continuous measurements of sap fow have been widely used to measure water fux through tree stems and branches. However, these measurements lack the resolution necessary for determining fne-scale, leaf-level responses to environmental variables. We used the heat ratio method to measure sap fow rates through leaf petioles and leafet petiolules of saplings of the tropical tree Tabebuia rosea (Bign...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplementing fish oil (FO) in the drinking water of dairy cows on production performance and milk fatty acid composition. Sixteen multiparous Holstein dairy cows (741 +/- 84 kg of BW; 60 +/- 2.3 d in milk, mean +/- SD) housed in a tie-stall facility were used in the study. The study was conducted as a completely randomized design with...

The flow field associated with the passage of the turbulent spot in a 3–D duct with streamline divergence under zero pressure gradients was investigated and displayed as contour plots of the velocity perturbation in plan and elevation view of the spot. It suggests that, streamline divergence has no strong effect on the internal structure of the spot and eddies and their propagation in the downs...

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical applicability of Ormocer based fowable adhesive (Admira fow) in comparison with BisGMA based adhesive (Transbond XT) and Ormocer based packable adhesive (Admira). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty human premolars, divided into group I (n = 20) Transbond XT, group II (n = 20) Admira and group III (n = 20) Admira fow were bonded with metal brackets using adhesives....

We identify linear properties of the energetic-particle-induced geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) using eigenmode analysis based on the gyrokinetic theory. From the perturbed gyrokinetic equation with energetic particles, we derive a dispersion relation of the EGAM. The behaviors of the roots vary depending on the safety factor. Taking into account of the finite-orbit-width (FOW) effects, we examin...

Consciousness can be measured in various ways, but different measures often yield different conclusions about the extent to which awareness relates to performance. Here, we compare five different subjective measures of awareness in the context of an artificial grammar learning task. Participants (N=217) expressed their subjective awareness of rules using one of five different scales: confidence...

We study the evolution of a metric two dimensional black hole under second loop renormalization group fow, RG-2 fow. Since is noncompact (we consider it asymptotically flat) we adapt some proofs for compact case to flat case. found that appearance horizons during related condition parabolicity flow. also show entanglement entropy monotonic generalize results obtained first approximation and dis...

p ersons with an ostomy face numerous challenges and adjustments. studies describe initial needs: a stoma site marked by an ostomy nurse specialist,1,2 a stoma designed with a protrusion to allow the stoma effluent to drain into the pouching system, education by a nurse specialist to acquire the skills necessary to manage the stoma,3 the help and support of a significant other,4 and an appropri...

This paper presents the key operations & maintenance (O&M) modelling inputs for fixed-bottom wind (FBW) and highlights adaptations required floating offshore (FOW) uses. The work also major repair strategies such as tow to shore (T2S) discusses limitations constraints which arise in an operational context. technical economic feasibility of O&M requires rethinking weather risks const...
