FUNGAL COMMUNITIES ON STANDING LITTER ARE STRUCTURED BY MOISTURE TYPE AND CONSTRAIN DECOMPOSITION IN A HYPER-ARID GRASSLAND

Fungal Communities on Standing Litter Are Structured by Moisture Type and Constrain Decomposition in a Hyper-Arid Grassland

Non-rainfall moisture (fog, dew, and water vapor; NRM) is an important driver of plant litter decomposition in grasslands, where it can contribute significantly to terrestrial carbon cycling.However, we still do not know whether microbial decomposers respond differently to NRM and rain, nor whether this response affects litter decomposition rates.T

Film Coating and Pelleting of Cauliflower Seeds with Molybdenum

Abstract Among the most cultivated vegetables, brassicas stand out for their economic and social importance, but they also stand out for their requirement for micronutrients, especially cauliflower.In view of the importance of micronutrients in the development of cauliflower, the objective was to study the effect of treating cauliflower seeds with

Wavelet-Based Kernel Construction for Heart Disease Classification

Heart disease classification plays an important role in clinical diagnoses.The performance improvement of an Electrocardiogram classifier is therefore of great relevance, but it is a challenging task too.This paper proposes a novel classification algorithm using the kernel method.A kernel is constructed based on wavelet coefficients of heartbeat si

Tuning The Crystallographic Structure And Morphology Of Nanocrystalline CaB6 Films Deposited By DC Magnetron Sputtering

Through changing the argon pressure, CaB6 films with different crystallographic orientation and morphology on glass substrates were prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering method.The film textures, crystallite sizes, composition and morphology were investigated by a spectrum of characterizing techniques in terms of X-ray diffraction (X
