THE EFFICIENCIES, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND ECONOMICS OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR GROUNDWATER-BASED IRRIGATION IN OKLAHOMA

The Efficiencies, Environmental Impacts and Economics of Energy Consumption for Groundwater-Based Irrigation in Oklahoma

Irrigation pumping is a major expense of agricultural operations, especially in arid/semi-arid areas that extract large amounts of water from deep groundwater resources.Studying and improving pumping efficiencies Painting can have direct impacts on farm net profits and on the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted from pumping plants.In this stud

Photorespiratory Metabolism and Nodule Function: Behavior of Lotus japonicus Mutants Deficient in Plastid Glutamine Synthetase

Two photorespiratory mutants of Lotus japonicus deficient in plastid glutamine synthetase (GS2) were examined for their capacity to establish symbiotic association with Mesorhizobium loti bacteria.Biosynthetic glutamine synthetase (GS) activity was reduced by around 40% in crude nodule extracts from mutant plants as compared with the wild type (WT)

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study on the Gas-Solid Coupling of the Aerostatic Thrust Bearing with Elastic Equalizing Pressure Groove

Aiming at the problem of low stiffness of aerostatic bearing, according to the principle of BOOTS gas-solid coupling, this paper designs a kind of aerostatic thrust bearing with elastic equalizing pressure groove (EEPG) and investigates the effect of elastic equalizing pressure groove (EEPG) on the stiffness of aerostatic bearing.According to the p
