Intergranular fractal impedance analysis of microstructure and electrical properties of rare-earth doped batio3
(Advances in Electronic Ceramics II - 33rd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, 2010)
Microstructure properties of barium-titanate based materials, expressed in grain boundary contacts, are of basic importance for electric properties of these material. In this study, the model of intergranular impedance ...
Soil type classification and estimation of soil properties using support vector machines
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Quantitative techniques for prediction and classification in soil survey are developing rapidly. The paper introduces application of Support Vector Machines in the estimate of values of soil properties and soil type ...
Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) Attacking Aphids Feeding on Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae Crops in Southeastern Europe: Aphidiine-Aphid-Plant Associations and Key
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, Cary, 2010)
Original information oil aphidiine braconids attacking aphids feeding on Solanaceae (i.e., Capsicum annuum L., Lycium europaeum, L., Lycopersicon esculentum Miller, Solanum spp.) and Cucurbitaceae (i.e., Citrullus vulgaris ...
Energy efficiency optimization of combined ventilation systems in livestock buildings
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
Good ventilation system in livestock buildings is necessary for removing excess moisture and heat and for improving building environment in general. Natural ventilation does not require energy consumption and on the other ...
Encapsulation of probiotics for use in food products
(Encapsulation Technologies for Active Food Ingredients and Food Processing, 2010)
The history of the role of probiotics for human health is one century old and several definitions have been derived hitherto. One of them, launched by Huis in't Veld and Havenaar (1991) defines probiotics as being "mono ...
Deficit irrigation based on drought tolerance and root signalling in potatoes and tomatoes
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Agriculture is a big consumer of fresh water in competition with other sectors of the society. Within the EU-project SAFIR new water-saving irrigation strategies were developed based on pot, semi-field and field experiments ...
Comparison of tillage systems according to fuel consumption
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
Nowadays, tractor is still the basic power unit in almost all production processes in agriculture, including tillage. The structure of tractor-machinery systems depends on many parameters: seeding system, soil conditions, ...
Deficit irrigation strategies: Use of stress physiology knowledge to increase water use efficency in tomato and potato
(Horticulture in the 21st Century, 2010)
Many vegetables, including tomato and potato, have high water requirements, so that supplemental irrigation is necessary for successful production. The predictions are that the demand for irrigation will increase considerably ...
Composition and stability of soil aggregates in Fluvisols under forest, meadows, and 100 years of conventional tillage
(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, Weinheim, 2010)
Conversion of meadow and forest ecosystems to agricultural land generally leads to changes in soil structure. This comparative study presents the composition and stability of structural aggregates in humus horizons (0-30 ...
Cross-(in)compatibility in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2010)
Eight apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars and selections were self- and cross-pollinated in order to determine their pollen and stylar compatibility. Overall, 40 pollination combinations were examined. Pollen-tube ...
