Water use efficiencyTranspiration is generally considered a wasteful but unavoidable consequence of photosynthesis, occurring because water is lost when stomata open for CO uptake. Additionally, transpiration has been ascribed the functions of cooling leaves, driving root to shoot xylem transport and mass...
(a) Low water flux (b) Commercially not implemented. (Zwijnenberg et al., 2005) (a) Better chemical and thermal stability can be obtained with good salt rejection efficiency. (b) Pervaporation desalination by the inorganic membrane was applied for natural seawater desalination. (a) Cost-effect...
GEP convergence was driven by higher whole-plant photosynthesis (GEPlive = GEP/LAIlive) in clipped plots. Ecosystem water use efficiency (GEP/ET) was reduced by 16% with clipping, due to two weeks of low GEP/ET immediately following defoliation, but GEP/ET converged before GEP levels did. ...
Membranes, being the most critically important component of the RO plant, consist of different types of thin selective layers depending upon the need of the RO plant over a porous membrane base. Its thin selective layer significantly affects an RO membrane's water permeability and salt rejection....
Carbon isotope discrimination and water use efficiency in Iranian diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid wheats grown under well-watered conditions Carbon isotope discrimination (螖) has been proposed as physiological criterion to select C 3 crops for yield and water use efficiency. The relationships ... ...

A Matric Flux Potential Approach to Assess Plant Water Availability in Two Climate Zones in BrazilTranspiration reduction functions are often used in hydrological modeling to estimate actual transpiration as a function of soil water status. Empirical reduction functions are most frequently used due to ...
Each time, 200 ml of accordingly diluted nutrient solution was used per pot and plant. For transformation, seeds were surface sterilized in 70% ethanol for three minutes and washed three times (2 min each) with distilled water. Sterilized seeds were placed in a wet vermiculite:perlite ...
The plant was in operation from November 1959 until July 1981. All the solid wastes generated during the plant’s operations, approximately 1200 million kg, are contained in the tailing pile, which covers 94,000 m2 and has a volume of 980,000 m3 with a total activity of 4500 Ci [9]. ...
The hydrolytic and aerobic microorganisms were obtained from activated sludge provided by the Xiamen Domestic Sewage Treatment Plant. Hydrolytic and aerobic microorganisms were simultaneously cultured in the two sets of reactors. Both reactors were filled with D-2 soft fiber that was 30 cm in height....
