ARE WE ON THE RIGHT TRACK: CAN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ABSCISSION IN MODEL SYSTEMS PROMOTE OR DERAIL MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN LESS STUDIED CROPS?

Are we on the right track: can our understanding of abscission in model systems promote or derail making improvements in less studied crops?

As the world population grows and resources and climate conditions change, crop improvement continues to be one of the most important challenges for agriculturalists.The yield and quality of many crops is affected by abscission or shattering, and environmental stresses often hasten or alter the abscission process.Understanding this Sharpening Stone

Developing a reliable approach to estimate the stoichiometric ratio of O/U in UO2 pellets using MCNP-5 and artificial intelligence

Uranium dioxied is used as a nuclear fuel.Depending on the temperature and oxygen partial pressure, it is incredibly versatile and can accept a wide variety of stoichiometry.Many methods are used to estimate the non-stoichiometric O/U ratio such as the coulometric titration, gravimetric and voltammetric methods.These methods have some disadvantages
