Therefore, two japonica super rice cultivars, Nanjing 44 and Ningjing 3, were used to study the effect of shading time and N level on the characteristics of rice panicle and grain filling as well as the corresponding yield and quality. At a low N level (150 kg N ha^-1, 150N), grain yield decreased (by 21.07-26.07%) under the treatment of 20 days of shading before heading (BH) compared with the no shading (NS) treatment. These decreases occurred because of shortened panicle length, decreased number of primary and secondary branches, as well as the grain number and weight per panicle. At 150N, in the treatment of 20 days of shading after heading (AH), grain yield also decreased (by 9.46-10.60%) due to the lower grain weight per panicle. The interaction of shading and N level had a significant effect on the number of primary and secondary branches. A high level of N (300 kg N ha^-1, 300N) could offset the negative effect of shading on the number of secondary branches and grain weight per panicle, and consequently increased the grain yield in both shading treatments. In superior grains, compared with 150N NS, the time to reach 99% of the grain weight (T99) was shortened by 1.6 to 1.7 days, and the grain weight was decreased by 4.18-5.91% in 150N BH. In 150N AH, the grain weight was 13.39-13.92% lower than that in 150N NS due to the slow mean and the maximum grain-filling rate (GRmean and GRmax). In inferior grains, grain weight and GRmean had a tendency of 150N NS〉150N BH〉150N AH. Under shaded conditions, 300N decreased the grain weight due to lower GReen both in superior and inferior grains. Compared with 150N NS, the milling and appearance qualities as well as eating and cooking quality were all decreased in 150N BH and 150N AH. Shading with the high level of 300N improved the milling quality and decreased the number of chalky rice kernels, but the eating and cooking quality was reduced with increased chalky area and overall chalkiness. Therefore, in the case of short term shading, appropriate N fertilizer could be used to improve the yield and milling quality of rice, but limited application of N fertilizer is recommended to achieve good eating and cooking quality of rice.展开更多

First, basedon travelers' route choice behavior, the reliable travel timeconfidence level (RTTCL), which is the probability that a triparrives within the shortest average travel time plus theacceptable travel time difference, is defined. Then, areliability-based user equilibrium (RUE) model, whichhypothesizes that for each OD pair no traveler can improvehis/her RTTCL by unilaterally changing routes, is built.Since the traditional traffic assignment algorithms are notfeasible to solve the RUE model, a quasi method of successiveaverage (QMSA) is developed. Using Nguyen-Dupuis andSioux Falls networks, the model and the algorithm are tested.The results show that the QMSA algorithm can rapidlyconverge to a high accuracy for solving the proposed RUEmodel, and the RUE model can provide a good response totravelers' behavior in the stochastic network.展开更多

The analysis results in the caculation of six typical fault signals show that the time-division scale level moment can be used to display the detailed information of a wavelet gray level image, extract the signal's characteristics effectively, and distinguish the vibration fault. Compared to the method of a wave gray moment vector, the method mentioned in this paper can provide higher calculation speed and higher capacity of fault identification, so it is more suitable for online fault diagnosis for rotating machinery.展开更多

To this purpose, in the first step, the formulae of the special relativity are applied to demonstrate the conditions which can annihilate the electrostatic force acting between the nucleus and electron in the atom. This result is obtained when a suitable electron speed entering the Lorentz transformation is combined with the strength of the magnetic field acting normally to the electron orbit in the atom. In the next step, the Maxwell equation characterizing the electromotive force is applied to calculate the time interval connected with the change of the magnetic field necessary to produce the force. It is shown that the time interval obtained from the Maxwell equation, multiplied by the energy change of two neighbouring energy levels considered in the atom, does satisfy the Joule-Lenz formula associated with the quantum electron energy emission rate between the levels.展开更多
