Foliar applied calcium chloride alleviated drought stress in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) by improving growth and yield contributing traits and antioxidant activity. by Tauqeer Ahmad Yasir, Wasif Azhar, Qaisar Ali, Muhammad Usman Masood Bhutta, Muhammad Ateeq, Allah Wasaya, Mubshar Hussain, Rehana Riaz

“…During the study, we exposed pearl millet to various foliar applications of CaCl2 (0 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, and 75 mg/L) while subjecting it to two different irrigation conditions: full irrigation and drought stress during the booting stage. Results revealed that a significant reduction in the growth (plant height; PH, stem diameter; SD, fresh leaf weight; FLW, stem fresh weight; SFW, stem dry weight; SDW, root fresh weight; RFW, root dry weight; RDW, and plant dry weight; PDW), yield (panicle length; PL, grain per panicle; GPP, grain weight; GW, thousand grain weight; TGW, grain yield; GY, biological yield; BY, and harvest index; HI), and physiological attributes (membrane stability index; MSI, and soil plant analysis development; SPAD) were found under water drought stress condition, while increment in antioxidant level was observed due to low moisture contents in soil. …”

A Hybrid Dynamic Principal Component Analysis Feature Extraction Method to Identify Piston Pin Wear for Binary Classifier Modeling by Hao Yang, Yubin Zhai, Mengkun Zheng, Tan Wang, Dongliang Guo, Jianhui Liang, Xincheng Li, Xianliang Liu, Mingtao Jia, Rui Zhang

“…The wear condition of a piston pin is a main factor in determining the operational continuity and life cycle of a diesel engine; identifying its vibration feature is of paramount importance in carrying out necessary maintenance in the early wear stage. As the dynamic vibration features are susceptible to environmental disturbance during operation, an effective signal processing method is necessary to improve the accuracy and fineness of the extracted features, which is essential to build a reliable and precise binary classifier model to identify piston pin wear based on the features. …”
