Herein, in this paper, it was estimated that the geothermal reserves in the main coal-bearing areas of China were 1.12 × 10¹⁹ kJ, equivalent to 379.539 billion tons of standard coal, and the recoverable geothermal reserves were 1.71 × 10¹⁸ kJ, equivalent to 56.931 billion tons …

Creating And Evaluating Dimensional Analysis Software For University Students, Ac Hýbl

Campus Research Month

Most scientific disciplines depend on mathematics to varying degrees. Real-world problems often include quantifiable measurements with units. For example, chemistry, physics, and pharmacology require flawless unit conversions and dimensional homogeneity to obtain acceptable results. Students often choose to ignore units until the end of the problem-solving process, but this introduces errors and robs students of a deep understanding of units. Current tools for teaching dimensional analysis are limited both in scope and accessibility. Unit Playground addresses this issue by providing an interactive interface to experiment with units and their relationships.

Differential Behaviour Of Guineagrass (Panicum Maximum Jacq.) Hybrids, With Different Al+3 Reactions, As To Major Nutrient Translocations To The Leaves, R. S. Paterniani, J. A. Usberti Jr., J. C. Werner

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Most of the Brazilian cultivated pasture fields presents soils with high Al⁺³ levels and liming is economically unfeasible. So, there is an urgent need for grasses with good forage yielding potentials that can withstand Al⁺³ deleterious effects (abnormal root development: short, thick and poorly branched roots, which are unable to effectively translocate water and essential nutrients to the leaves) (Foy, 1984); as a consequence, susceptible genetic materials have their field persistences greatly affected, mainly during drought periods. Researches on Al⁺³ reaction are usually compare supposedly resistant/tolerant genotypes with a resistant control check; doing so, the genotypic effect …
