How do rootstocks mediate scion salinity tolerance under salt stress?
Grafting in tomato has been investigated mainly in small-scale experiments, demonstrating morphological, physiological, and metabolic changes in the scion mediated by the rootstock. By grafting a scion onto different rootstocks, scion salt tolerance.....»»
Neutrons help researchers observe real-time stress reduction in 3D printed parts
The heat, pressure, and force that materials experience during manufacturing processes, such as forming, casting, and molding, can cause internal inconsistencies in manufactured metal parts. These inconsistencies include distortions and uneven micros.....»»
Corals can be "trained" to tolerate heat stress, study finds
A new study led by researchers at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science found that corals that underwent a stressful temperature treatment in the laboratory for 90 days were more tolerant to increased water.....»»
Study maps stress changes around fault activated by hydraulic fracturing
Researchers were able to observe stress changes before and during an earthquake induced by hydraulic fracturing in Alberta, Canada, with the help of a phenomenon called seismic anisotropy......»»
Hydrogels containing a hygroscopic salt can harvest freshwater from dry air
Hydrogels have an astonishing ability to swell and take on water. In daily life, they are used in dressings, nappies, and more to lock moisture away. A team of researchers has now found another use: quickly extracting large amounts of freshwater from.....»»
Chicago area grapples with reducing road salt as chloride levels rise in waterways, Lake Michigan
During icy Midwest winters, a Chicagoan's step onto the sidewalk is often met with a familiar crunch underfoot. But salt, used to keep roads safe for driving and sidewalks safe for walking, comes with an ecological price: It ends up in our water, and.....»»
Researchers gain insights into Rio Tinto microbial community
At the mouth of the Rio Tinto in southwestern Spain, acidic river water—polluted with heavy metals from ore mining and mineral weathering—mixes with the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean. Here, microorganisms that love such extreme conditions form.....»»
OCCT allows you to benchmark and overclock your system components
OCCT (OverClock Checking Tool) is a free tool to stress and stability test your machine. It incorporates a monitoring dashboard that shows how your components behave in real time, including temperature and voltages......»»
Dwarf planet Ceres: Organic chemistry and salt deposits in Urvara impact crater
The third-largest crater on the dwarf planet Ceres was geologically active at least once many millions of years after its formation. In a recent study published today in the journal Nature Communications, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for.....»»
Watch the OnePlus 10 Pro snap in YouTuber’s bend test
The recently unveiled OnePlus 10 Pro comes with some strong specs but not such a strong build, according to a YouTuber's stress test......»»
Government guidelines insufficient to protect freshwater ecosystem from salt pollution
Current water quality guidelines aren't protecting freshwater ecosystems from increasing salt pollution due to road de-icing salts, agriculture fertilizers, and mining operations, according to an international study that included researchers at Renss.....»»
Mechanical metamaterials: Toughness and design criteria
Mechanical metamaterials are an emerging class of materials primarily governed by their architecture to create lightweight materials with extreme mechanical properties. The functionality of such materials is limited by their tolerance to damage and d.....»»
Trade-offs exist in hydraulic and mechanical traits of plants in Chinese savanna
Evergreen and deciduous species coexist in tropical dry forests and savannas. Previous studies have shown that they exhibit divergent strategies of drought tolerance and hydraulic safety under prolonged seasonal drought. However, the ecological strat.....»»
"Crypto Ruined My Life": the Mental Health Crisis Hitting Bitcoin Investors
"Vice examines the toll on mental health experienced by people who invest a large portion of their net worth into volatile cryptocurrencies," writes long-time Slashdot reader leathered. Vice argues that "The stress and anxiety that goes with funnel.....»»
How does Garmin measure stress?
Stress can profoundly impact not only your fitness but also your well-being. Find out how Garmin measures stress and whether it's accurate enough to be useful......»»
Time crystals that persist indefinitely at room temperature could have applications in precision timekeeping
We have all seen crystals, whether a simple grain of salt or sugar, or an elaborate and beautiful amethyst. These crystals are made of atoms or molecules repeating in a symmetrical three-dimensional pattern called a lattice, in which atoms occupy spe.....»»
Salt And Sacrifice Launches This May On PS5 And PS4
Salt and Sacrifice, the sequel to Salt and Sanctuary from developer Ska Studios will be launching later this year in May. The post Salt And Sacrifice Launches This May On PS5 And PS4 appeared first on PlayStation Universe. Another indie announc.....»»
Demand for ESD, EOS protection components set to grow
Demand for ESD (electrostatic discharge) and EOS (electric over-stress) protection components will be rising for commercial notebooks that are increasingly requiring high-speed transmission and high-performance computing features, according to indust.....»»
Underwater "breathing" plants could be key to stress-resistant crops
Wetland plants have a high tolerance against flooding due to the formation of "lysigenous aerenchyma," air channels that help transfer gases to the submerged roots. These channels also help the plant withstand drought and nutrient deficiency. Now, sc.....»»
Race is on to save the Great Salt Lake: Will it be enough?
The largest natural lake west of the Mississippi is shrinking past its lowest levels in recorded history, raising fears about toxic dust, ecological collapse and economic consequences. But the Great Salt Lake may have some new allies: conservative Re.....»»
