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 ...

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 ...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench) grown under rain-fed conditions is usually affected by drought stress at different stages, resulting in reduced yield. Determining the genetic control of root ...

Roots play a crucial role in plant development, serving to absorb water and nutrients from the soil while also providing structural stability. However, the impacts of global warming can impede root ...

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 ...

Plant roots activate lateral branching in response to contact with available water, but the mechanism by which this environmental signal is perceived is poorly understood. Through a combination of ...

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 ...
