HYDRAULIC RESPONSE TO GEOMETRY: FINITE ELEMENT MODELING OF UNDERGROUND SPACES IN SATURATED ENVIRONMENTS


Study of association between morphological traits and QTLs governing sheath blight resistance in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Rice sheath blight is one of the most serious diseases of rice.In the current study, the relationship between morphological traits and sheath blight resistance was investigated by using 1545 recombinant inbred lines.Correlation analysis showed that culm angle, flag leaf angle, flag leaf length and plant height were significantly correlated with she

Tribological properties of diamond nanoparticle additive in water under a lubrication between steel plate and tungsten carbide ball

We studied the effectiveness of diamond nanoparticles (DNPs) dispersed in water as a lubricant additive between stainless steel plates and sintered tungsten carbide (WC) balls.DNP dispersions with concentrations of 0.01, 0.1 and 1 wt.% were prepared and used as lubricants under a load of 1.88 N, for 240,000 friction cycles.High-friction coefficient
