Estimation of yield and nitrogen use efficiencies in hybrid maize varieties through site specific nitrogen management based on leaf color chart (LCC) by Suhail Fayaz, Raihana Habib Kanth, Tauseef A. Bhat, Eajaz Ahmad Dar, Zahoor Ahmad Shah, Moneesa Bashir, Aijaz Nazir, Bilkees Jamsheed, Mohd. Salim Mir, Zahoor A. Dar, Shailja Sharma, Aabid Hussain Lone, Dawood Yousuf, Nadhir Al-Ansari, Mohamed A. Mattar, Ali Salem

“…In the interim, the economics of pooled data divulged that the maximum B: C ratio was observed in SMH-2 and LCC @ 30 (≤ 5) kg N ha–1. Therefore, site-specific nutrient management through LCC proved to be an effective strategy to maximize yield and nitrogen use efficiency in hybrid maize.…”

Performance evaluation of four cascade impactors for airborne ultrafine-particle (UFP) collection: the influence of particle type, concentration, mass, and chemical nature by E. Eckenberger, A. Mittereder, N. Gawlitta, N. Gawlitta, J. Schnelle-Kreis, J. Schnelle-Kreis, M. Sklorz, D. Brüggemann, R. Zimmermann, R. Zimmermann, A. C. Nölscher

“…</p> <p>In the laboratory, we evaluated pressure drops, cutoff diameters, the steepness of the cutoff curve, losses, particle bounce, and transmitted particle mass. We observed that the performance of the impactors varied between 59 and 116 nm in cutoff diameter (electromobility diameter), depending on the impactor's design and the type of test aerosol mixture – salt particles (NaCl), simulated secondary organic aerosol (SimSOA), or soot. …”
