MESOSCOPIC URBAN-TRAFFIC SIMULATION BASED ON MOBILITY BEHAVIOR TO CALCULATE NOX EMISSIONS CAUSED BY PRIVATE MOTORIZED TRANSPORT

Mesoscopic Urban-Traffic Simulation Based on Mobility Behavior to Calculate NOx Emissions Caused by Private Motorized Transport

Motorized transport is one of the main contributors to anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, which cause global warming.Other emissions, like nitrogen oxides or carbon monoxide, are detrimental to human health.A prominent way to understand and thus be able to minimize emissions is by using traffic simulations to evaluate different scenarios.In that way, on

Genome-wide analysis of PRR gene family uncovers their roles in circadian rhythmic changes and response to drought stress in Gossypium hirsutum L.

Background The circadian clock not only participates in regulating various stages of plant growth, development and metabolism, but confers plant environmental adaptability to stress such as drought.Pseudo-Response Regulators (PRRs) are important component of the central oscillator (the core of circadian clock) and play a significant role in plant p

Identification of genes involved in a water stress response in timothy and mapping of orthologous loci in perennial ryegrass

In order to characterize the response of selected grasses to water stress, relative water content (RWC) in leaves and quantum efficiency of photosystem 2 (Fv/Fm) were measured in Phleum pratense L., P.bertolonii DC.and P.phleoides H.Karst.during 6 d of water stress.The results indicated differential responses to water stress among the three Phleum
