Transpiration and Water Use Efficiency of Mediterranean <i>Eucalyptus</i> Genotypes Under Contrasting Irrigation Regimes by Juan C. Valverde, Rafael A. Rubilar, Alex Medina, Matías Pincheira, Verónica Emhart, Yosselin Espinoza, Daniel Bozo, Otávio C. Campoe

“…Low irrigation reduced CAI by 5–25% and Tr by 10–35%, while WUE responses varied across genotypes, ranging from a 12% decrease to a 48% increase. Based on their functional responses, genotypes were grouped as follows: (i) stable performers (Es, Ecg, Eb) exhibited high WUE and consistent Tr under both WR; (ii) partially plastic genotypes (EgH, EngH) combined moderate reductions in Tr with improved WUE; and (iii) water-sensitive genotypes (EgL, EngL, En) showed substantial declines in Tr alongside variable WUE gains. …”

Analytical Solution of the Closed-Form Equations Governing the Hybrid Performance of a Tuned Liquid Column Gas Damper Equipped With a Variable Orifice by Yousef Shiri, Jafar Keyvani, Seyed Hossein Hoseini Lavassani

“…In this research, the new hybrid damper; "tuned liquid column gas damper equipped with variable orifice (H-O-TLCGD)" is introduced. The dominant mechanism for confronting with vibration in this damper is based on liquid movement, and the vibration energy is dissipated by the effects of fluid turbulence and friction caused by the local pressure drop of the orifice opening. …”
