High temperature erosion and impact texts were developed for evaluation of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems that are being generated the High-Speed Civil Transport supersonic aircraft under NASA's Enabling Propulsion Materials program. The TBC-coated test specimen is a 6.1-mm (0.24-inch) diameter cylindrical pin. Twelve pins mounted on carousel with pitch 46 mm (1.813 inch). This rotated at 500 rpm, 50 (two inches) from combustor exhaust burner rig, while TBC controlled 1232°C (2250°F)...
Improvement of agronomic and seed quality traits in soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] occurs breeding programs as a result crossing elite genotypes selection superior offspring each cycle. The objective this study was to evaluate changes over 100 yr Ontario, Canada, two at the University Guelph: Guelph Campus (Maturity Group [MG] 0 I) Ridgetown (MG II) programs. Fifty‐six cultivars (released between 1983 2016), 46 1987 2015), 37 Guelph‐pedigree related historical (from 1913 1985) were grown...
Abstract. With the appearance of cost effective, easy to fly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), a new type data collection has been enabled: super high resolution multi-spectral, precisely georeferenced imagery and point clouds, collected over value targets. The spatial precise georeferencing accuracy makes information extraction advanced analytics possible both in temporal domain at scales simply not collect from manned aircraft, much greater efficiency than can be ground. One example this is...
The accurate determination of soybean pubescence is essential for plant breeding programs and cultivar registration. Currently, classified visually, which a labor-intensive time-consuming activity. Additionally, the three classes phenotypes (tawny, light tawny, gray) may be difficult to visually distinguish, especially tawny class where misclassification with frequently occurs. objectives this study were solve both throughput accuracy issues in workflow, develop set indices distinguishing...
Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is the world's leading legume crop and largest oilseed crop. It forms a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria residing in root nodules that provide fixed nitrogen to host plants through fixation (SNF). In soybean, it has been widely reported highest SNF occurs at pod-filling stage, associated peak demand for nitrogen. However, majority of seed derived from remobilizing root/shoot nitrogen, representing cumulative seedling stage pre-pod-fill stage....
Abstract The plant phenotyping community is adopting technological innovations in order to record phenotypic attributes more quickly and objectively. Low altitude aerial imaging an appealing option for increasing throughput but there are still challenges the image processing pipeline. One such challenge involves assignment of a spatial reference each plot entry experimental layout. Image‐based approaches increasingly popular since boundaries often, not always, clearly visible low imagery. In...
WSix films for use as gates in a GaAs-based self-aligned gate field-effect transistor (FET) process were formed by sequential sputter deposition of multiple layers W and Si. The power applied to the W- Si-opposed planar magnetron targets could be individually controlled was fixed at 530 500 W, respectively. thickness Si decreased from ∼6 0.3 nm rotation speed substrate carousel increased 2 30 rpm. However, thicknesses different rates. From Rutherford backscattering spectrometry measurements...
Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr) is a crop of global importance for both human and animal consumption, which was domesticated in China more than 6000 years ago. A concern about losing genetic diversity as result decades breeding has been expressed by soybean researchers. In order to develop new cultivars, it critical breeders understand the variability present traits interest their program germplasm. Sucrose concentration becoming an increasingly important trait production soy-food...
This paper presents the design, manufacture and characterization results of two optical interference filters to be used in Lightning Imager (LI) head on Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) mission. The first filter is a Solar Rejection Window (SRW) limit solar thermal radiation absorbed by while second Narrow Band Filter (NBF) intended only pass lightning discharge emission wavelengths. Each has its own distinctive design considerations manufacturing challenges. SRW must wavelengths from 760 780...
