Effects of Curing Period of Livestock Droppings on the Growth and Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) Varieties by S. Y. Abdulmaliq, Y. A. Abayomi, M. O. Aduloju, O. Olugbemi

“…The effects of cow dung and poultry droppings cured for 3, 6, and 9 weeks were compared to that of NPK fertilizer (100 kg N ha−1 and 60 kg ha−1 each of P2O5 and K2O) and a control (no amendment). The application of organic amendment cured for 3 to 6 weeks enhanced the growth and yield of okra when compared with inorganic fertilizer or the unamended soil across the two cropping seasons. …”

Jitter Across 15 yr: Leveraging Precise Photometry from Kepler and TESS to Extract Exoplanets from Radial Velocity Time Series by Corey Beard, Paul Robertson, Jack Lubin, Te Han, Rae Holcomb, Pranav Premnath, R. Paul Butler, Paul A. Dalba, Brad Holden, Cullen H. Blake, Scott A. Diddams, Arvind F. Gupta, Samuel Halverson, Daniel M. Krolikowski, Dan Li, Andrea S.J. Lin, Sarah E. Logsdon, Emily Lubar, Suvrath Mahadevan, Michael W. McElwain, Joe P. Ninan, Leonardo A. Paredes, Arpita Roy, Christian Schwab, Gudmundur Stefansson, Ryan C. Terrien, Jason T. Wright

“…We present a combination photometric and RV study of eight Kepler/K2 FGK stars with known stellar variability. We use NEID RVs acquired simultaneously with Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry, and we perform injection-recovery tests to quantify the efficacy of recent TESS photometry versus archival Kepler/K2 photometry for removing stellar variability from RVs. …”
