Irrigation Management of HLB-Affected Trees by Davie Mayeso Kadyampakeni, Kelly T. Morgan, Mongi Zekri, Rhuanito Ferrarezi, Arnold W. Schumann

“…Other benefits of proper irrigation scheduling include reduced loss of nutrients from leaching as a result of excess water applications and reduced pollution of groundwater or surface waters from the leaching of nutrients. Recent studies have shown that for HLB-affected trees, irrigation frequency should increase and irrigation amounts should decrease to minimize water stress from drought stress or water excess, while ensuring optimal water availability in the rootzone at all times. …”

Study on the Failure Mechanism of Lower Cambrian Shale under Different Bedding Dips with Thermosolid Coupling by Wentao Wang, Zhonghu Wu, Huailei Song, Hengtao Cui, Yili Lou, Motian Tang, Hao Liu

“…The test results show that (1) the increase in temperature reduced the linear elastic phase of the shale specimens in each group, with a significant reduction in the linear elastic phase of the shale at lamina dips of 22.5° and 45°. (2) The lamination effect decreased slightly as the temperature rose from 30°C to 60°C, and the most significant enhancement of the lamination effect on the shale occurred when the temperature reached 90°C. (3) The shale damage pattern is divided into five types (N, ʌ, v, slanted I-type, and cluttered-type), in which the lamina effect is stronger for high-angle lamina dips, and the lamina surface has a strong dominant effect on the entire shale crack expansion. …”
