Water Requirements, Use Efficiency, and Insect Infestation in Brussels Sprouts, and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Sweet Basil under Low Tunnels compared to Open-field Production
… injury, and insect populations in comparison to open field. Similarly, LTs increased summer production of sweet basil as measured by fresh weight and biomass. In addition, plant N uptake was greater under the LTs; however, the increase in nitrogen use efficiency was inconsistent.

An Economic Comparison of High Tunnel and Open-Field Strawberry Production in Southeastern Virginia and A Joint Estimation of Acreage Planted to U.S. Major Crops
… strawberries in the high tunnel compared to the open-field in Southeast Virginia. We develop and compare budgets for eight strawberry cultivars grown in the two environments and sold under three marketing strategies (pre-pick wholesale, pre-pick retail, and U-pick). Almost all cultivars in the …

Discontinuous Galerkin modeling of plasma turbulence in a simple magnetized torus
… for validating numerical models. With helical, open field lines and magnetic shear, the Helimak is a good model of the plasma turbulence in the scrape-off layer (SOL) region of tokamaks or other fusion devices. This region lies outside the last closed magnetic flux surface and plays an important …
