Sugarbeet roots produced in cold climates are stored in large piles prior to processing and are cooled by ambient winter air.These storage conditions dehydrate roots, causing root respiration rate and sucrose loss in storage to increase.Dehydration likely alters carbohydrate metabolism due to a greater demand for respiratory substrates and may affe
The paper addresses the rationale of a process that produces artworks made by a swarm of robots.This process relies on the interaction, though the environment, of a set of robots designed to create spatiotemporal patterns from an initial homogeneous medium (the canvas).Inspired by social insect 03.2150.400 societies, the approach presented here exp
The complete sequence and genome organization of a novel Endornavirus from the hypovirulent strain GD-2 of Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA, the causal agent of rice trip in the woods sierra nevada sheath blight, were identified using a deep sequencing approach and it was tentatively named as Rhizoctonia solani endornavirus 1 (RsEV1).It was composed of o
We study the perspectives of measuring the phenomenon of vacuum birefringence predicted by quantum electrodynamics using an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) alone.We devise an experimental scheme allowing two consecutive XFEL pulses to collide rachel bati under a finite angle, and thus act as both pump and probe field for the effect.The signature o
We provide a joint scheme for rate control, scheduling, routing, and power control protocol for wireless sensor networks based on compressive sensing.Using a network utility maximization formulation, we present cross-layer optimization solutions using Lagrangian multipliers in the transport, network, media access control, and physical layers.Inspir
