Chemical and structural heterogeneity and the resulting interaction of coexisting phases can lead
to extraordinary behaviours in oxides, as observed in piezoelectric materials at morphotropic phase boundaries and relaxor ferroelectrics. However, such phenomena are rare in metallic alloys. Here we show that, by tuning the presence of structural heterogeneity in...
This study uses an econometric model to explain patronage of farm inputs at cooperatives in a highly diversified agricultural region. The model jointly addresses farmer purchases of six input categories: petroleum, pesticides, fertilizers, services, feed, and seed. Explanatory variables include farm size, farm experience, farm type, membership status farm location,...
An emergency management system integrating remote sensing and geographic
information systems applied to emergency preparation, response, and recovery could
have reduced casualties and damage after the August 17, 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey
earthquake. Model system components include a horizontally and vertically distributed
knowledge base, LIDAR 3D urban modeling, automatic feature extraction,...
Lemon oil quality is affected by numerous factors including lemon variety, climate,
soil type, extraction method, etc.. Therefore, quality largely depends upon the lemons'
origin, and aroma profiles of oils obtained throughout the world have potential to vary
considerably. This research was conducted to identify differences in the aroma profiles...
