RESPONSE OF COMMON BEAN GENOTYPES GROWN IN SOIL WITH NORMAL OR LIMITED MOISTURE, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE NUTRIENT PHOSPHORUS

Response of Common Bean Genotypes Grown in Soil with Normal or Limited Moisture, with Special Reference to the Nutrient Phosphorus

Drought and phosphorus deficiency in the soil are the major production limitations of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Sub-Saharan Africa.This study measured the yield responses of low phosphorus-tolerant common beans to drought stress.A field experiment was conducted under two drought conditions codenamed, non-drought-stress (NDS) misbhv ta

Remotely Assessing Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) for Wheat Canopies Based on Hyperspectral Vegetation Indexes

Fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR), as an important index for evaluating yields and biomass production, is key to providing the guidance for crop management.However, the shortage of good hyperspectral data can frequently result in the hindrance of accurate and reliable FPAR assessment, especially for wheat.In the present researc

Generation of high-density biskyrmions by electric current

Spintronics: Generation of magnetic biskyrmions by electric current Electric current can generate and control the density of nova upright walker magnetic biskyrmions in a centrosymmetric MnNiGa alloy at room temperature.Skyrmions are chiral spin textures whose spins point in all directions wrapping a sphere, making them topological in nature.Topolo

PRECISION AND ACCURACY PARAMETERS IN STRUCTURED LIGHT 3-D SCANNING

Structured light systems are popular in part because they can be constructed from off-the-shelf low cost components.In this paper we quantitatively show how common design parameters affect precision and accuracy in such systems, supplying a much needed guide for practitioners.Our quantitative measure is the established VDI/VDE 2634 (Part 2) guideli
