The role of these ecosystems in continental and Mediterranean climates though, is not yet clearly understood because environmental limiting factors and management intensities can strongly influence the overall C budget. The aim of the present study is to improve the understanding of the mechanisms underlying C fluxes in a turfgrass ecosystem and to assess its C sequestration potential by estimating the annual C budget. NEE (Net Ecosystem Exchange) of turfgrass was calculated in its seasonal variation over one year, and compared between areas characterized by different degrees of maintenance. The C sequestration potential of the turfgrass was investigated in a golf course near Verona (Italy), adopting a small-chamber enclosure approach. The measurements of gas exchanges between biosphere and atmosphere, permitted to estimate the NEE, as a function of different management intensities. The intensity of management seems to have influence on its C balance. This study needs further research to understand which maintenance variables are determinant on turfgrass C sequestration.展开更多

Therefore, this paper proposes auto-correlation, cross-correlation and weighted average fault diagnosis methods based on wavelet transform (WT) de-noising which combine correlation analysis with WT for the first time. These three methods compute the auto-correlation, the cross-correlation and the weighted average of the measured vibration signals, then de-noise by thresholding and computing the auto-correlation of de-noised coefficients of WT and FFT of energy sequence. The simulation results indicate that all methods enhance the capabilities of fault diagnosis of rolling bearings and pick up the fault characteristics effectively.展开更多

This symmetry breaking mechanism involves electric charge swap between ordinary families of leptons can and produces highly massive non-regular leptons of order 0 (1 TeV) mass unobservable at energy scales below 10 TeV (the scale of LEP Ⅰ, Ⅱ and neutrino oscillation experiments). Electric charge swap between ordinary families of leptons produces heavy neutral non-regular leptons with order 0 (1 TeV) masses, which may form cold dark matter.
