Abstract The JET 2019–2020 scientific and technological programme exploited the results of years concerted engineering work, including ITER-like wall (ILW: Be W divertor) installed in 2010, improved diagnostic capabilities now fully available, a major neutral beam injection upgrade providing record power 2019–2020, tested technical procedural preparation for safe operation with tritium. Research along three complementary axes yielded wealth new results. Firstly, plasma delivered scenarios...

Abstract In 2021 JET exploited its unique capabilities to operate with T and D–T fuel an ITER-like Be/W wall (JET-ILW). This second major campaign (DTE2), after DTE1 in 1997, represented the culmination of a series enhancements—new fusion diagnostics, new injection capabilities, refurbishment plant, increased auxiliary heating, in-vessel calibration 14 MeV neutron yield monitors—as well as significant advances plasma theory modelling community. DTE2 was complemented by sequence isotope...

Plants in combination with microorganisms can remediate soils, which are contaminated organic pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons. Inoculation of plants degrading bacteria is one approach to improve remediation processes, but often not successful due the competition resident microorganisms. It therefore high importance address persistence and colonization behavior inoculant strains. The objective this study was determine whether inoculation method (seed imbibement soil inoculation)...

Sixteen wheat genotypes including local varieties were tested in completely randomized design with three repeats. Data recorded at four different moisture levels by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 on germination percentage, rate index, shoot length, root fresh weight of shoot, dry root, shoot/root ratio and analysed for significance. The differ significantly response to the stress. There highly significant differences all traits. PK-18199 gave maximum length coleoptile weight,...

Abstract The contamination of water with hydrocarbons resulting from oil exploration and production highlights the need for efficient environmentally friendly technology to mitigate this form pollution. Floating treatment wetlands are a sustainable approach remediating contaminated water. In large-scale study, we used four different plants, Phragmites australis , Typha domingensis Leptochloa fusca Brachiaria mutica vegetate floating mat an area 3058 m 2 made locally sourced materials....

Abstract For the past several years, JET scientific programme (Pamela et al 2007 Fusion Eng. Des . 82 590) has been engaged in a multi-campaign effort, including experiments D, H and T, leading up to 2020 first with 50%/50% D–T mixtures since 1997 ever plasmas ITER mix of plasma-facing component materials. this purpose, concerted physics technology was launched view prepare campaign (DTE2). This paper addresses key elements developed by directly contributing preparation. intense preparation...

Nitrification and denitrification are two important processes in the nitrogen (N) cycle. Under heavy-metal pollution with water management of paddy soils, these not well understood. This study aimed to examine effect cadmium (Cd) on N transformation under flooding non-flooding conditions. A soil was incubated regimes (flooding non-flooding) four Cd levels (0, 2, 5 10 mg kg−1). The availability higher than Cadmium contamination significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decreased copy number archaeal bacterial...

Root architecture is an important agronomic trait that plays essential role in water uptake, soil compactions, nutrient recycling, plant–microbe interactions, and hormone-mediated signaling pathways. Recently, significant advancements have been made understanding how the complex interactions of phytohormones regulate dynamic organization root crops. Moreover, phytohormones, particularly auxin, act as internal regulators development soil, starting from early organogenesis to formation hair...
