Household appliances are the biggest contributor to household energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.One of the ways to reduce emissions and conserve energy is to increase the use of energy-efficient appliances (EEAs).Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the study investigated the factors that influence the purchase of EEAs by yo
Temperate species often require or flower most rapidly in the long daylengths, or photoperiods, experienced in summer or after prolonged periods of cold temperatures, referred to as vernalization.Yet, even within species, plants vary in the degree Beauty of responsiveness to these cues.In Arabidopsis thaliana, CONSTANS (CO) and FLOWERING LOCUS C (F
Crushing of rock particles is a phenomenon commonly encountered in geotechnical engineering practice.It is however difficult to study the crushing of rock particles using classical theory because the physical structure of the particles is complex and irregular.This paper aims at evaluating fractal and morphological characteristics of single rock pa
(1) Predation selects for antipredator competence in prey.For fishes with parental care, brood predators exert selection on the morphological phenotype of offspring, and also exert strong selection pressure to promote parental care behavior of adults.(2) This review summarizes field and lab studies on the ontogeny of antipredator competence in conv
Short-wave perturbations in a relaxing medium, governed by a special reduction of the Ostrovsky evolution equation, and later derived by Whitham, are studied using the gradient-holonomic integrability algorithm.The oil cleanser bi-Hamiltonicity and complete integrability of the corresponding dynamical system is stated and an infinite hierarchy of c
