REDUCING FERTILIZER IN SUGARBEETS CAN PROTECT WATER QUALITY

Reducing fertilizer in sugarbeets can protect water quality

The loss of nutrients from fertilizers can impair surface and ground waters.Environmentally sensitive crop management requires applying only enough fertilizer to ensure economic crop yields.We found that sugarbeets grown in soils rich in organic matter in Carving the Upper Klamath Basin can be fertilized at very low rates and used to remove more nu

Laser Surface Texturing for Ground Surface: Frictional Effect of Plateau Roughness and Surface Textures under Oil Lubrication

Laser surface texturing has proven beneficial in improving tribological performance in different lubrication regimes.However, the interaction between plateau roughness and surface texture remains to be further investigated, even though rough surfaces Mono LED are common in engineering applications.In the present study, we investigated the frictiona

Rail Track with Rail Compression

The problem of damping the noise on the track, arising from the movement of the train, is solved sufficiently but it is simple, if the rail with spacers is laid inside the longitudinally located band sleeper-mechanism.The result is a layered rail thread, consisting of belts: a rail tape with elastic spacers on three sides, a tie-mechanism tape and
