Burkholderia phytofirmans strain PsJN effects on drought resistance, physiological responses and growth of switchgrass
… in PsJN inoculated seedlings, indicating advanced development. Photosynthetic rates (Ps) were higher in PsJN inoculated seedlings after 17 days (54%, p=0.0016), which were related to higher stomatal conductance, greater water use efficiency, and lower non-stomatal limitation of Ps. These …

Simulation in Automated Guided Vehicle System Design
… A research review of the work reported on AGVS development in combination with simulation revealed that of 39 papers only four were industrially related. Most work was on the conceptual design phase, but little has been reported on the detailed simulation of AGVS. Semi-autonomous vehicles (SA V) …
