EFFECTS OF VINEYARD INTER-ROW MANAGEMENT ON SOILS, ROOTS AND SHALLOW LANDSLIDES PROBABILITY IN THE APENNINES, LOMBARDY, ITALY

Effects of Vineyard Inter-Row Management on Soils, Roots and Shallow Landslides Probability in the Apennines, Lombardy, Italy

Cultivation of grapevines in sloping soils is very widespread all over the world, representing also a fundamental branch of the local economy of several hilly zones.Vineyards can be managed in different ways especially the inter-rows.These management practices may influence deeply soil properties and grapevine root development.Therefore, this work

Benefits of Turbid River Plume Habitat for Lake Erie Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) Recruitment Determined by Juvenile to Larval Genotype Assignment.

Nutrient-rich, turbid river plumes that are common to large lakes and coastal marine ecosystems have been hypothesized to benefit survival of fish during early life stages by increasing food availability and (or) reducing vulnerability to visual predators.However, evidence that river plumes truly benefit the recruitment process remains meager for b

Computer Simulation of Cure Process of an Axisymmetric Rubber Article Reinforced by Metal Plates Using Extended ABAQUS Code

Afinite element model is developed for simulation of the curing process of a thick axisymmetric rubber article reinforced by metal plates during the molding and cooling stages.The model consists of the heat transfer equation and a newly developed kinetics model for the determination of the state of cure in the rubber.The latter is based on the modi
