The ability of a model-based real-time optimization scheme to converge to the plant optimum relies on the ability of the underlying process model to predict the plant's necessary conditions of optimality (NCO). These include the values and gradients of the ...
Cutover peatlands cover large surfaces of high potential value for biodiversity and carbon sequestration function if successfully restored but the evaluation of restoration success is not straighforward. We assessed the bioindicator value of organic mat ...
The biogenic silica extracted from samples of 28 alpine plant species belonging to 23 genera and nine families collected in the Swiss Alps (Valais) accounted for between 0.01 and 5.9% of the dry biomass of leaves and wood. Silica content, and plant contrib ...
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) produce many metabolites that are directed towards competing photoautotrophs. Such algicidal compounds might offer new approaches for the selective inhibition of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, as this organism ...
In the framework of real-time optimization, measurement-based schemes have been developed to deal with plant-model mismatch and process variations. These schemes differ in how the feedback information from the plant is used to adapt the inputs. A recent id ...
Question: What are the correlations between the degree of drought stress and temperature, and the adoption of specific adaptive strategies by plants in the Mediterranean region? Location: 602 sites across the Mediterranean region. Method: We considered 12 ...
Growth and properties of sputter in situ sputter deposited Pb(Z,Ti)O-3 (PZT) thin films have been studied on (111)-textured Pt electrodes as a function of seed layers of the type (TiO2)(x)(PbO)(y). The PZT process was run with a limited lead excess resulti ...
