The gravitational potential (V) at a location isthe gravitational potential energy (U) at that location per unit mass: where m is the mass of the object. Potential energy is equal (in magnitude, but negative) to the work done by the gravitational field moving a body to its given position...

Ref. [6] evaluated the irrigation strategies in a water-scarse area in the central United States. The authors focused on how irrigation strategies impact economic value. The strategies are fixed (the same process used for every year), and potential (perfect adjustment to each year’s weather)...
This article presents a qualitative mathematical model to simulate the relationship between supplied water and plant growth. A novel aspect of the construction of this phenomenological model is the consideration of a structure of three phases: (1) The soil water availability, (2) the available water...
The stunning city of Petra in Jordan was built by the Nabataeans with staggering sums from the luxury trade. Now the discovery of a faraway submerged altar temple shows the extent of its reach.
Smart dryers have the potential to take this feature to the next level, though, wirelessly delivering the data straight to your computer, phone or tablet. When you combine this capability with smart grid awareness, as Whirlpool's smart dryers do, things really start to get cool. Throw your ...
The hydration structure of 18-crown-6/K+ complex as studied by Monte Carlo simulation using ab initio fitted potential The intermolecular potential between a 18-crown-6/K complex and a water molecule is derived from 1200 energy points obtained from quantum chemical calculat... S Krongsuk,T Ker...
Additionally, we explore the potential of vertex model approaches to uncover critical physical elements involved in the mechanical regulation of curved tissues and the construction of functional architectures at the collective level. Finally, we examine how changes in curvature can influence transcriptional...
The potential-pH diagrams of the Al–2.69Zn–2.87Mg–0.95Cu (at.%) alloy were calculated based on the CALculation of the PHAse Diagram method using Thermo-Calc software. An interaction system was set between 10−2 mol of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu single phase, 0.1 M NaCl in 1 kg of water...
