Abstract Water uptake is the fundamental requirement for Mounting Tray the initiation and completion of seed germination that is a vital phase in the life cycle of seed plants.We found that seeds produced under four nitrogen levels showed significantly different germination speed.The objective of this study was to study the mechanism of rapid seed
Artificial Cavities and Nest Site Selection by Puerto Rican Parrots: a Multiscale Assessment
We examined nest site selection by Puerto Rican Parrots, a secondary cavity nester, at several spatial scales using the nest entrance as the central focal point relative to 20 habitat and spatial variables.The Puerto Rican Parrot is unique in that, since 2001, all known nesting in the wild has occurred in artificial cavities, which also provided us
An Optimization via Simulation approach for the preemptive and non-preemptive multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problems
In this paper a novel modelling and solving method has been developed to address the so-called resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) where project tasks have multiple modes and also the preemption of activities are allowed.To solve this NP-hard problem, a new general optimization via simulation (OvS) approach has been developed wh
Utilizing Industrial By-Products for Sustainable Three-Dimensional-Printed Infrastructure Applications: A Comprehensive Review
Industrial secondary products (e.g., fly ash, blast furnace slag, and silica fume) have found extensive application as alternative construction materials in conventional manufacturing methods to reduce Gearbox Mounting Frame carbon emissions due to cement usage and solve the waste management problem.To date, additive manufacturing or 3D printing ha
