(2016-07-11)Climate change is likely to drive large geographic species shifts such as woody encroachment into grassland ecosystems. Along the Gulf of Mexico, this shift manifests as a change from grass-dominated salt marshes to woody ...
-
(2018-07-25)Thread imbalance is inevitable for multithreaded applications due to the necessity of synchronization primitives to coordinate access to memory and system resources. This imbalance leads to a bounding of application ...
-
(2012-07-16)One of the issues with multilateral wells is determining the contribution of each lateral to the total production that is measured at the surface. Also, if water is detected at the surface or if the multilateral well ...
-
(2012-07-16)The new advancement in well monitoring tools have increased the amount of data that could be retrieved with great accuracy. Downhole pressure and temperature could be precisely determined now by using modern instruments. ...

(2020-07-21)The objectives of the first study were to evaluate the effects of direct-fed microbials (DFM) with or without monensin plus tylosin on the performance, feeding behavior patterns and feed efficiency of steers transitioned ...
-
(2020-05-21)The fractional contribution of transpiration (T) to total evapotranspiration (ET), fT, is an important indicator of water use efficiency in forests and other ecosystems, and an improved understanding of fT is necessary for ...
-
(2022-07-21)Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms are defined with fully continuous or discrete action spaces. These algorithms are widely used in autonomous driving due to their ability to cope with unseen environments. However, ...
-
(2021-07-14)Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a catalytic reaction in which two greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) are converted to synthesis gas (a mixture of CO and H2), an important precursor to produce various chemical products. DRM ...
-
(2022-08-25)Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important crop native to Africa and grown in many subtropical and temperate regions worldwide. Its tropical origin means that most diverse sorghum is photoperiod sensitive ...
