Enviroscaping to Conserve Energy: Trees for South Florida by Timothy K. Broschat, Alan W. Meerow, R.J. Black

“…Plants provide shade, insulate the home from heat loss or gain, and cool the air that surrounds their leaves through transpiration (release of water from plant pores). Trees are the main types of landscape plants used around the home for passive energy conservation. …”

A Hurricane Preparedness for Citrus Groves by Mongi Zekri, Robert R. Rouse, Jonathan H. Crane

“…Additionally, high tides driven by wind can lead to saltwater flooding miles inland, exacerbating grove flooding by preventing water runoff in bays, estuaries, and rivers. Although hurricanes pose a serious threat to citrus groves, growers with pre-established hurricane plans can mitigate losses more effectively. …”

Prediction of Climate Change Induced Hydrogeomorphology by using SDSM in CAN Watershed by Ali Ahmadabadi, Zahra sedighifar

“…Finally, the effects of climate change on the hydrologic conditions of the basin with the help of the model (SWAT) was simulated by the Soil and Water Assessment Tool. The amount of surface runoff and runoff at the study area is 10.59 mm in the studied observation period, but this rate was estimated to be 21.27 mm for the predicted period due to the increase of urbanization and changes in utilization. …”

Wireworms in Florida Sugarcane by R. H. Cherry, M. Karounos

“…More studies are needed, but the current information suggests substantial percentages (e.g. 40% or more) of wireworms could be killed by flooding but, in general, the flood duration had to be at least 4 to 5 weeks at water temperatures above 24 °C. Soil insecticides are generally used in newly planted sugarcane for wireworm control. …”

REVIEW ON DORMANCY, CAUSES, USES, AND MEASURES OF OVERCOMING IT by Prakash Awasthi

“…The most common method for releasing seeds from their dormancy is scarification, which can be carried out mechanically or chemically followed by others like scarification, light and heat treatment, dipping in hot water, etc. Leaching is another method for ending seed dormancy because it destroys the inhibitory components of the seed coat.…”

Sound Radiation due to Modal Vibrations of a Spherical Source in an Acoustic Quarterspace by Seyyed M. Hasheminejad, Mahdi Azarpeyvand

“…The analytical results are illustrated with numerical examples in which the spherical source, vibrating in the pulsating (n = 0) and translational oscillating (n = 1) modes, is positioned near the rigid boundary of a water-filled quarterspace. Subsequently, the basic acoustic field quantities such as the modal acoustic radiation impedance load and the radiation intensity distribution are evaluated for representative values of the parameters characterizing the system.…”
