Synergistic effects of melatonin and chitosan in alleviating drought stress in saffron: (Crocus sativus) insights into plant growth and biochemical responses by Sahar A. A. Malik Al-Saadi, Karzan Omer Qader, Hatem Mohammed Hasan, Masoumeh Eskandari, Heidar Meftahizade

“…Abstract Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is recognized as a strategic crop with high economic, nutritional, and cultural value in Iran; however, in recent years, its yield has significantly declined due to climate change, particularly drought stress. This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of drought stress at three field capacity (FC) levels (100%, 70%, and 40%), melatonin (100, 200, and 400 mg/L), and chitosan (100, 150, and 200 mg/L) on saffron performance over two years. …”

Experimental study on dynamic tensile mechanical properties and energy dissipation of GFRP tube-mortar specimens with different hollow ratios by Nao Lv, Qi Zong, Liang Xie, Jian Guo, Shihai Guo, Ziyi Lu, Deling Gao, Haibiao Xu, Hao Wang

“…The presence of hollow ratio will degrade the specimen and reduce its dynamic tensile strength, and the greater the hollow ratio, the more significant the stress reduction of the specimen. (2) Both the wall thickness growth factor and the hollow ratio growth factor are greater than 1, and the increase of the wall thickness and the decrease of the hollow ratio will increase the dynamic tensile strength. …”
