Fine-root and leaf acquisitive traits decoupled from chloride accumulation in reflecting the differential salinity tolerance among Prunus hybrids by Shuangxi Zhou, Rob R. Walker, Everard J. Edwards

“…There was significantly lower specific leaf area (SLA) in ‘Monegro’ and lower root tissue density (RTD) in ‘Nemaguard’ after 60 days – but not 30 days – of salt treatment. No hybrid showed concurrent significant decrease of SLA and specific root surface area (SRA) under salt treatment. …”

Implicit and explicit learning strategies and fatigue: an evaluation of throwing task performance by Reihaneh Banihosseini, Behrouz Abdoli, Maryam Kavyani

“…Mental fatigue was induced using a 30-minute color-word Stroop task, while physical fatigue was elicited by requiring subjects to maintain 50% of their maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) in elbow extension for a 2-minute duration.ResultsThe results revealed that the implicit learning group exhibited improved performance under fatigue conditions and outperformed the explicit learning group significantly, regardless of the type of fatigue.ConclusionThis results suggests that implicit learning may improve motor performance even under fatigue conditions.…”

Resource allocation in cognitive radio network with energy harvesting by Yan LONG, Xiaoqian ZHANG, Xuming FANG, Rong HE

“…Considering the diversity of energy harvesting capability and spectrum sensing accuracy of SU,as well as dynamic channel quality,under the constraint of energy causality,the secondary network throughput maximization problem in single-hop cognitive radio networks with energy harvesting was studied.The transmission channel selection,transmission power control and transmission time allocation of SU were jointly optimized.Since the optimization problem was non-convex,by converting it into a series of convex optimization sub-problems,the optimize transmission power and transmission time algorithm (OPTA) was obtained.Compared with the existing resource allocation algorithms,such as,hybrid differential evolution algorithm (HDEA),optimized transmission algorithm (OTA),and random assignment channel algorithm (RA),the simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.For example,under the same maximum transmission power constraint,the throughput of the proposed OPTA scheme could increase by around 6%,37% and 50% than that of HDEA,OTA and RA schemes respectively.Under the same channel gain diversity,the throughput of the proposed OPTA scheme could increase by around 30%,60% and 94% than that of HDEA,OTA and RA schemes respectively.Under the same energy harvesting efficiency diversity,the throughput of the proposed OPTA scheme could increase by around 27%,50% and 92% than that of HDEA,OTA and RA schemes respectively.…”
