A STPF is meant to filter out a single harmonic, and is straightforward to develop13inexpensively with components that are all connected in series: a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C)27, which provides low impedance path28. It enables harmonic current to flow across and...
Quinoa developed various defense mechanisms to resist abiotic stress, such as drought, wind, salinity and biotic stresses, such as various diseases, parasites and pests. However, in order to carry out successful cultivation of quinoa in a hypersaline environment, it is reasonable and expedient to...
