Core Collection of Sorghum: I. Stratification Based on Eco-Geographical Data.

From: Crop Science | Date: January 1, 2001| Author: Bramel-Cox, P. J.; Grenier, C.; Hamon, P. | Copyright information

ICRISAT conserves a large (36 719 entries) collection of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] accessions in India. This collection comprises cultivated and wild sorghums acquired over the past 25 years from 90 countries. However, it is difficult to characterize and assess a large collection with limited time and resources. To facilitate maintenance, assessment, and utilization of the collection, we considered the establishment of a core collection using stratified sampling strategies. Resu...

Age-hardenable nickel-base alloy: RA718 (UNS N07718) is a nickel alloy precipitation hardened by gamma prime and double prime. It is readily fabricated and is weldable even in the aged condition. The alloy is used for gas turbine components at temperatures up to 650[degrees]C (1200[degrees]F) as well as for cryogenic equipment.(Alloy Digest Data Sheet)
Advanced Materials & Processes ; ALLOY 718 is strengthened by a precipitation hardening reaction involving columbium, titanium, aluminum, and nickel, with a degree of solid-solution strengthening by molybdenum. For alloy RA718, two commonly used heat treatments are as follows. * Treatment I: Anneal at 925-1010[degrees]C
Why 15[degrees]? (Letters to the Editor).
Engineered Systems ; While reading Timothy Coyle's August 2002 Current Affairs column (page 32), I was struck by the idea of using the 15[degrees] delta T for a 95[degrees]F design day. My first impression was, Why 15[degrees]? In my first job out of college, working with power plant ventilation, I was taught to use a
Internal Oven Provides Voltage Reference Less Than 1-ppm/[degrees]C Drift.(Technology Information)
Electronic Design ; When precision voltage-reference requirements demand less than 1-ppm/[degrees]C temperature drift, the designer can choose to use expensive components (off-the-shelf modules) or build a custom oven enclosure. This second choice is common among cost-sensitive designs where a less-expensive IC
Properties of TiAl sheet pack-rolled at temperatures below 1000 [degrees]C
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions ; TiAl alloy specimens with microcrystalline (MC, grain size is 5 [mu]m) and submicrocrystalline (SMC, grain size is 0.4 [mu]m) structures were successfully pack-rolled to sheet with a thickness down to 0.4 mm in the temperature ranges of 800 [degrees]C to 1000 [degrees]C and 900 [degrees]C to 1000
Digital Sine-Wave Generator Produces 0[degrees] To 360[degrees] Phase-Shifts.(Technology Information)
Electronic Design ; Sine-wave generators with 0[degrees] to 360[degrees] phase-shifts are very important testing blocks in many systems involving DSP operations (i.e., I/Q modulator-demodulator communication, phase-angle measurements and up-down counter conversion in controls, and power electronics). The popular
Amorphous zirconium retains microstructure up to 1600[degrees]F.(Metals)
Advanced Materials & Processes ; Amorphous pure zirconium metal that retains its beneficial microstructure and properties at temperatures up to 870[degrees]C (1100[degrees]F) has been made by researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, N.M. This is said to be the first time that an amorphous metal has been made of
Influence of plant height and heading date on the expression of the resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in near isogenic lines of wheat.(Crop Breeding, Genetics & Cytology)
Crop Science ; SEPTORIA TRITICI BLOTCH is an important disease in many areas where wheat is grown (Shipton et al., 1971; King et al., 1983; Eyal et al., 1987). Progress in breeding has been slow because of different factors, including a great variability in the pathogen, a certain degree of specificity, and the

CircuiTree ; Even though the use of electronic assemblies at high operating temperatures is not a new topic, fresh solutions are required with respect to their use in automotive technology because of demand and cost structure. While electronic assemblies can be used safely and reliably up to 125 [degrees]C, far
