In maize ( Zea mays L. ), the largest staple crop in the world, nitrogen (N) represents a major limiting factor for productivity. However, improving N use efficiency (NUE) is still one of the most critical research issues to achieve food security in a context affected by climate…

This research was conducted to develop nutrient budgets for almond that guide the rate and timing of fertilizer application. The major objectives of the study were to develop nutrient demand curves, evaluate the response of yield and yield components to nitrogen (N) and potassiu…
Trabecular bone is a major load-bearing tissue in the musculoskeletal system and is subjected to various multi-axial loads in vivo. For example, in the vertebral body, the trabecular bone is primarily subjected to uniaxial loads, in the proximal femur, trabecular bone is subject…
Several yield and reliability enhancement techniques have been proposed for the compaction, routing and technology mapping stages of VLSI design. For yield, we modify the existing layouts to reduce the sensitivity of the design to random point defects, which are the main yield d…
The influence of chemical thinners Accel, Ethephon, and Wilthin on three apple cultivars `Royal Gala', `Blushing Gold' and `Ultra Gold'. Two experiments were conducted in 1995 and 1996 to determine the effect of chemical thinners; Accel at 25, 50, and 75 ppm; Ethephon at 100, 20…
Scope and method of study. Hard red winter (HRW) wheat cultivars of the southern Great Plains are traditionally bred in a grain-only (GO) management system, but are commonly grown for the dual purpose (DP) of forage and grain from the same crop. Our objectives were to determine …
This thesis comprises three main chapters focusing on a number of issues related to forecasting economic and nancial time series. Chapter 2 contains a detailed empirical study comparing forecast perfor- mance of a number of popular term structure models in predicting the UK yiel…
Considering which Spain happened to be a receiving of external investment to an investing country in the foreign, the interest arises to investigate the effect that this exit to the outside generates in the companies acquired in a third country. In this context, it has been sele…
Miscanthus is a tall perennial grass species native to parts of Asia. It has the potential to produce relatively high dry matter yields across a wide range of environmental and soil conditions. The Miscanthus cultivar most commonly recommended for biofuel production is a sterile…
High fertilizer prices coupled with environmental effects of fertilizers have created serious concerns among scientists and the general public. Studies were conducted to evaluate the (a) environmental and economic benefits of replacing nitrogen (N)-fertilized grass with grass-le…
