Soil Physical Quality of Citrus Orchards Under Tillage, Herbicide, and Organic Managements

2018

Abstract Soil capacity to support life and to produce economic goods and services is strongly linked to the maintenance of good soil physical quality (SPQ). In this study, the SPQ of citrus orchards was assessed under three different soil managements, namely no-tillage using herbicides, tillage under chemical farming, and no-tillage under organic farming. Commonly used indicators, such as soil bulk density, organic carbon content, and structural stability index, were considered in conjunction with capacitive indicators estimated by the Beerkan estimation of soil transfer parameter (BEST) method. The measurements taken at the L'Alcoleja Experimental Station in Spain yielded optimal values fo…

Measurement of thett¯production cross section inpp¯collisions ats=1.96  TeVusing soft electronb-tagging

2010

The authors present a measurement of the t{bar t} production cross section using events with one charged lepton and jets from p{bar p} collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. A b-tagging algorithm based on the probability of displaced tracks coming from the event interaction vertex is applied to identify b quarks from top decay. Using 318 pb{sup -1} of data collected with the CDF II detector, they measure the t{bar t} production cross section in events with at least one restrictive (tight) b-tagged jet and obtain 8.9{sub -1.0}{sup +1.0}(stat.){sub -1.0}{sup +1.1}(syst.) pb. The cross section value assumes a top quark mass of m{sub t} is presented in the paper. This result is cons…

Mapping of penetrometer resistance in relation to tractor traffic using multivariate geostatistics

2007

Abstract The traffic of agricultural machines can cause soil compaction and high variability of soil structure, both along normal lines and along those parallel to the field plane. The aim of this work was to investigate the potential of an electronic penetrometer, a GPS, a GIS and geostatistical techniques for mapping soil compaction. In July 2003 soil cone penetrometer resistance was measured using a semi-automatic electronic penetrometer in a sandy-silt soil (Vertic Xerochrept) of inland Sicily where a three-year rotation wheat ( Triticum durum Desf.)–wheat–tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) was practiced. The measurements were carried out along three parallel 3-m long transects, from the…

Impact of wheeled and tracked tractors on soil physical properties in a mixed conifer stand

2016

Abstract: Damage to forest soil caused by vehicle traffic mainly consists of soil compaction, displacement, and rut formation. Severity of the damage depends on vehicle mass, weight of the carried loads, ground morphology, and soil properties, such as moisture. This paper investigates the impacts of two types of vehicles (tracked or wheeled tractor), traffic intensities (one or five skidding cycles) and soil moisture (24% or 13% by weight) on compaction of a loam textured soil in a mixed conifer stand of central Italy. Changes in porosity, bulk density, shear and penetration resistances were analyzed. The latter three parameters were significantly higher in the trafficked soil portions than…

Quasi-periodic dipping in the ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1

2021

Most ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are believed to be stellar mass black holes or neutron stars accreting beyond the Eddington limit. Determining the nature of the compact object and the accretion mode from broadband spectroscopy is currently a challenge, but the observed timing properties provide insight into the compact object and details of the geometry and accretion processes. Here we report a timing analysis for an 800 ks XMM-Newton campaign on the supersoft ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1. Deep and frequent dips occur in the X-ray light curve, with the amplitude increasing with increasing energy band. Power spectra and coherence analysis reveals the dipping preferential…

Fredholm operator families ?II

1984

First, we give a characterization of semi-Fredholm operators (i.e. those which are left or right invertible modulo compact operators) on Hausdorff tvs which generalizes the usual one in the context of Banach spaces. Then we consider a class of semi-Fredholm operator families on tvs which include both the "classical" semi-Fredholm operator valued functions on Banach spaces (continuous in the norm sense), and families of the form T + Kn, where Kn is a collectively compact sequence which converges strongly to O. For these families we prove a general stability theorem.

Weyl's theorem for perturbations of paranormal operators

2007

A bounded linear operator T ∈ L(X) on a Banach space X is said to satisfy "Weyl's theorem" if the complement in the spectrum of the Weyl spectrum is the set of all isolated points of the spectrum which are eigenvalues of finite multiplicity. In this paper we show that if T is a paranormal operator on a Hilbert space, then T + K satisfies Weyl's theorem for every algebraic operator K which commutes with T.

The Daugavet equation for polynomials

2007

In this paper we study when the Daugavet equation is satisfied for weakly compact polynomials on a Banach space X, i.e. when the equality ‖Id + P‖ = 1 + ‖P‖ is satisfied for all weakly compact polynomials P : X −→ X. We show that this is the case when X = C(K), the real or complex space of continuous functions on a compact space K without isolated points. We also study the alternative Daugavet equation max |ω|=1 ‖Id + ω P‖ = 1 + ‖P‖ for polynomials P : X −→ X. We show that this equation holds for every polynomial on the complex space X = C(K) (K arbitrary) with values in X. The result is not true in the real case. Finally, we study the Daugavet and the alternative Daugavet equations for k-h…

Banach spaces where convex combinations of relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball are relatively weakly open

2018

We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such spaces are established, and we introduce and discuss a geometric condition---property (co)---on a Banach space. Property (co) essentially says that the operation of taking convex combinations of elements of the unit ball is, in a sense, an open map. We show that if a finite dimensional Banach space $X$ has property (co), then for any scattered locally compact Hausdorff space $K$, the space $C_0(K,X)$ of continuous $X$-valued functions vanishing at infinity has…
