Techniques explained include a basic busbar cost analysis, in which all plant costs are stated on a levelized cost basis; a discounted pro forma analysis, in which project internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV) are derived for a specific power project; and least cost ...
The transpiration pull is explained by the Cohesion–Adhesion Theory, with the water potential gradient between the leaves and the atmosphere providing the driving force for water movement. The water potential of the atmosphere is dependent on the relative humidity and temperature of the air, and ca...

The plasticity of plant phenotypes cannot be simply explained by genetic changes such as point mutations, deletions, insertions and gross chromosomal rearrangements. Since many environmental stresses persist for only one or several plant generations, other mechanisms of adaptation must exist. The ...
Multi-cropping, also referred to asintercroppingormixed cropping, is the agricultural practice of growing multiple cultivars or crop species simultaneously in the same field for a significant part of their life cycle (Vandermeer1989; Lithourgidis et al.2011). Mixed cropping can be applied to field...
On the one hand, this could be explained with matrix effects on the metabolomics analysis, and on the other hand with biological factors such as an increase in diffusion gradient, osmotic shock, or plant cell lysis in water. When working with soil-grown plants, water:solvent mixtures were ...
This could not be explained by known geographical locations of species (Supplementary Fig. 1). Apparent latitudinal range shifts of plant pathogens in response to global warming6 suggest niche conservatism in thermal physiology, i.e. migration is the dominant response of populations to changing ...

Thus, the overall energy requirements appear to be much less for RO plants in comparison with MED plants. However, as explained above, MED technologies enable the utilization of process or waste heat from other processes, for example, electricity generators, which favor MED over RO when considerin...
crop performance can be related to an industrial procedure through which the crop has to be processed. We propose here a general definition of plant performance as beingan association of several traits that need to be monitored with regard to the plant life cycle or improved through a breeding ...
