Rice stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values as potential indicators of watering and manuring regimes by Rubi Wu, Rubi Wu, Eric J. Belfield, Yu Dong, Shangzong Feng, Xiangdong Fu, Nicholas P. Harberd, Fan Yang, Michael Charles, Amy Bogaard

“…In this study, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis was conducted on grains from rice of heritage landraces and modern varieties grown in a glasshouse pot experiment with three watering levels and two manuring levels, and from recent rice fields in China and South Korea including paddy and dry conditions, and with variable manuring histories. The pot experiment results indicate that there is a negative correlation between the δ13C values and watering levels in one heritage accession and three modern accessions; in the remaining two heritage accessions and one modern accession, a similar trend in δ13C values is observed between watering levels. …”

The Impact of Flow Channel Structural Parameters on Both the Hydraulic Performance and Anticlogging Abilities of Variable Flow Emitters by Peining Niu, Yan Mo, Baolin Yao, Zongze Yang, Yanqun Zhang, Dequan Zhang

“…The results show that the realizable <i>k–ε</i> turbulence model can be used to simulate the flow field inside the variable flow emitter flow channel. The <i>nRMSE</i> between the measured (<i>q</i>_m) and simulated (<i>q</i>) values of the flow rate is 11.23%, and the <i>relative error</i> between the measured (<i>x</i>_m) and simulated (<i>x</i>) values of the flow index is 4.66%, which gives a high simulation accuracy. …”

Heart rate variability is more sensitive to stress than heart rate in specialist police undergoing selection. by Colin Tomes, Ben Schram, Elisa Canetti, Robin Orr

“…This study included a cohort of six male PTG candidates (n = 6) undergoing selection. As illustrated by a time-series plot, HR values were generally unremarkable, but HRV values were potentially depressed, and tentatively indicated overstress when count data from consecutive short-term analyses were derived. …”
