Evaluation of the Plateau Honing on the Friction and Wear Cylinder Liners in Agricultural Tractors
To enhance the fuel efficiency of the engines of agricultural tractors, the optimal control of interacting surfaces for improving engine performance becomes extremely significant, especially in developing the surface of cylinder liners.Therefore, plateau honing technology was designed on the cylinder liner of automotive and tractor engines.A substa
Ethylene participates in the regulation of Fe deficiency responses in Strategy I plants and in rice
Iron (Fe) is very abundant in most soils but its availability for plants is low, especially in calcareous soils.Plants have been divided into Strategy I and Strategy II species to acquire Fe from soils.Strategy I species apply a reduction-based uptake system which includes all higher plants except the Poaceae.Strategy II species apply a chelation-b
Bartonella in Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) from the urban slum environment in Brazil
Abstract Bartonella are rodent-borne bacteria that cause varied human etiologies.Studies on synanthropic rodents are rare, causing gaps in epidemiological knowledge.We tested bloodclot samples from 79 rats from an Dishes urban slum in Salvador, Brazil through PCR targeting gltA gene.Nine samples (11.4%) were positive: six had 100% identity with Bar
Social Justice in the Green City
The Covid-19 pandemic and energy, climate, and demographic crises have shown how cities are vulnerable to these impacts and how the access to green and blue spaces has become highly relevant to people.One strategy that we can observe is the strong focus on the resilience discourse, meaning implementing more green and blue spaces in urban areas, suc
