Abstract Perennial grains, which remain productive for multiple years, rather than growing for only one season before harvest, have deep, dense root systems that can support a richness of beneficial microorganisms, which are mostly underexplored.In this work we isolated forty-three bacterial strains associated with the rhizosphere of the OK72 peren

Nanostructured transition metal oxides (TMOs) semiconductor materials, whose photoelectric properties are significantly improved due to their nanostructures, have attracted more and more attention in recent years.As a functional material with periodic nanostructures and unique optical properties, photonic crystals (PhCs) have become an important op

The pantograph-catenary system is a key part of power supply for Cargo Shorts electric locomotive, and its operating status determines the current receiving quality of electric locomotive, as well as safety and efficiency of trains.In order to solve the problems of traditional method for inspection of pantograph-catenary status, such as low efficie

Abstract Numerous surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms are developed for multi-objective expensive problems with low dimensions, but scarce works have paid Heater attention to that with high dimensions, i.e., generally more than 30 decision variables.In this paper, we propose a multi-mode radial basis functions-assisted evolutionary algorithm

Failures of cast-resin transformers not only reduce the reliability of power systems, but also have great effects on power quality.Partial discharges (PD) occurring in epoxy resin insulators of high-voltage electrical equipment will result in harmful effects on insulation and can cause power system blackouts.Pattern recognition of PD is a useful to
