ELEVATED CO2 INDUCES DOWN-REGULATION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND ALLEVIATES THE EFFECT OF WATER DEFICIT IN CEIBA PENTANDRA (MALVACEAE)

Elevated CO2 induces down-regulation of photosynthesis and alleviates the effect of water deficit in Ceiba pentandra (Malvaceae)

ABSTRACT The simultaneous Home effect of elevated CO2 concentration and drought on trees is still under investigation in the Amazon.We evaluated the effect of CO2 levels (400 and 800 ppm) and water regimes (50% and 100% soil field capacity) on photosynthetic traits, chlorophyll fluorescence, and total biomass accumulation in Ceiba pentandra.In well

Intrathecal morphine is associated with reduction in postoperative opioid requirements and improvement in postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing open liver resection

Abstract Background Our study aimed to test the hypothesis that the addition of intrathecal morphine (ITM) results in reduced postoperative opioid use and enhanced postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing open liver resection using a standardized enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol with multimodal analgesia.Methods A retrospective

Master integrals for two-loop QCD corrections to quark quasi PDFs

Abstract We compute the master integrals for the two-loop Kansa wand QCD corrections to quark quasi parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the large momentum effective theory (LaMET).With a proper canonical basis, we derive the analytical results for the three families of master integrals using the method of differential equations.The final expres

Improving Air Pollutant Metal Oxide Sensor Quantification Practices through: An Exploration of Sensor Signal Normalization, Multi-Sensor and Universal Calibration Model Generation, and Physical Factors Such as Co-Location Duration and Sensor Age

As low-cost sensors have become ubiquitous in air quality measurements, there is a need for more efficient calibration and quantification practices.Here, we deploy stationary low-cost monitors in Colorado and Southern California near oil and gas facilities, focusing our analysis on methane and ozone concentration measurement using metal oxide senso
