Plants need nitrogen to grow. Many legumes meet this need through a symbiotic relationship: They harbor bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plant. Until now, it was ...

A team of international scientists and risk assessment experts has developed a foundational blueprint for an innovative ...

Root anatomical phenotypes are important for soil resource acquisition, particularly in stressful environments. Using Anatomics (anatomical phenotyping) coupled with GWAS, we identified and then ...

When the microgrid is in the islanding operation mode, affected by the line impedance difference between the distributed power sources (DGs), the traditional droop control strategy will lead to the ...

Arousal may be understood on a spectrum, with excessive sleepiness, cognitive dysfunction, and inattention on one side, a wakeful state in the middle, and hypervigilance, panic, and psychosis on the ...

Abstract: A discrete time-domain modeling and analysis for the peak current controlled (PCC) buck light-emitting diode (LED) driver is presented in this paper. The discrete time-domain equation ...

Improving the efficiency of root systems should result in crop varieties with better yields, requiring fewer chemical inputs, and that can grow in harsher environments. Little is known about the ...
