Agronomic Management for Enhancing Plant Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses: High and Low Values of Temperature, Light Intensity, and Relative Humidity

“…Moreover, to evaluate the depleting effect of high temperatures on G&D, the following alternative truncated conditions are adopted: If T m > UC then T m = UC or T m = UC − (T m − UC). A more physiologically-based way to simulate thermal resources, taking into account the effect of sub-optimal or supra-optimal temperatures, is provided by the NHH method that converts hourly average temperatures to a normal value in the range 0-1 by means of a suitable response curve like that shown in Figure 2, growing from 0 to 1 between LC and LO, equal to 1 between LO and UO and linearly decreasing from 1 to 0 between UO and UC [34]. This method enables quantification of thermal limitation by low temperatures, when normal hours are useless because they are sub-optimal (LHH), and by high temperatures, when normal hours are useless because they are supra-optimal (HHH), respectively expressed as a complement to 1 for the NHH value.…”

Evidence of noncollisional femtosecond laser energy deposition in dielectric materials

“…Their ejection from the surface is possible if their energy is larger than the work function which is 0.9 eV for quartz [33,34]. For low energy ejection, surface effects may modify the distribution [35]. However, this influence is negligible for the most energetic electrons which are considered here.…”

MEMS Reliability: On-Chip Testing for the Characterization of the Out-of-Plane Polysilicon Strength

“…In relation to the specific reliability issue here addressed, once the electrostatic force leading to stopper failure has been determined, it is possible to infer the polysilicon strength provided that the stress state is correctly evaluated in the reference volume where failure occurs. This is implicitly related to the brittleness of polysilicon, so that the maximum principal (tensile) stress at failure is assumed to match its tensile strength according to a Rankine-like criterion [6].…”
