Almonds: botany, production and uses
This book, containing 20 chapters, deals with almond taxonomy, morphology, physiology, cultivation history, production, breeding (classical and molecular), cultivar development, genomics, pollen-style (in)compatibility, rootstock development, propagation, orchard management, env…
This volume looks at our understanding of joint development in the crust. Answers are provided for such questions as the mechanisms by which joints are initiated, the factors controlling the path they follow during the propagation process, and the processes responsible for the a…
This volume is a state of the art look at our understanding of joint development in the crust. Answers are provided for such questions as the mechanisms by which joints are initiated, the factors controlling the path they follow during the propagation process, and the processes …
Much of the research data gleaned from hundreds of bulletins, conference proceedings, newsletters and reports during the 20th century is presented in this book. The growth and development, climatic requirements, site selection, cultivar development and selection, nursery product…
This book, with contributions from 40 scientists from 8 countries, summarizes the current research information on apples and their culture, and will be of value to horticultural students, research and extension workers, and professional fruit growers. The 24 chapters are present…
In recent years intense laser fields have become more available over a frequency range extending from the infrared to the ultraviolet in the form of short pulses. In the low frequency regime where the photon energy is much lower than the ionisation potential, the advent of high …
Advancements in technology have always been limited by the availability of the necessary materials. The greatest marvels in engineering have both caused and motived advances in materials science. This symbiotic relationship between advancements in science and technology as well …
Lower Earth orbits (LEO) have become the residence for a significant number of large space debris, most of which are defunct satellites and rocket upper stages. The said debris jeopardize regular spacecraft operations in LEO and act as sources of smaller debris as a result of co…
This thesis investigates the performance of improved welds with two post-weld treatment methods for application on existing structures. High-Frequency Mechanical Impact (HFMI) treatment and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) remelting were used for fatigue life extension of welded structu…
