Wheat is one of the most important cereal food crops in the world today. The productivity and quality of this crop is greatly affected by environmental conditions during grain filling. In this study, we have analyzed two ...

This project aims to analyze space radiation effects on the electronic components of WikiSat, the femto-satellite developed at EETAC. We present a further development of the project presented by Laia Molas Pous, in which ...

Wave propagation in the heart has a discrete nature, because it is mediated by discrete intercellular connections via gap junctions. Although effects of discreteness on wave propagation have been studied for planar traveling ...

This paper presents an experimental study on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete drilled shaft footings, also commonly referred to as pile caps, supported on four drilled shafts. The test program investigated ...

Selected papers from the Second Pan-American Conference on Unsaturated Soils, held in Dallas, Texas, November 12–15, 2017. Sponsored by the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering and the ...

The structural consequences derived from the incorporation of either a methyl or a phenyl group at the a carbon of proline were recently investigated by quantum mechanical calculations (J Org Chem 2008, 73, 3418). In ...

In turbomachines, rotors and stators differ by the rotation of the former. Hence, half of each stage is directly influenced by rotation effects. The influence of rotation on the flow structure and its impact on the performance ...

Shoreface-connected sand ridges occur on many storm-dominated inner shelves. These rhythmic features have an along-shelf spacing of 2-10 km, a height of 1-12 m, they evolve on timescales of centuries and they migrate several ...

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the effects of self-regulation mechanisms in open channels with vegetated bed on hydraulic resistance, particularly bed slope effects. In order to examine them, laboratory experiments ...
