This work presents a numerical application of a generic conformation tensor transformation for simulating highly elastic flows of non-Newtonian fluids typically observed in computational rheology. In the Kernel-conformation ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) kernel weight (KW) response to changes in assimilate availability per kernel during grain filling suggests that plants establish an early kernel sink potential that place them to grow close to a saturating ...

Argentina is the worldwide single maize (Zea mays L.) exporter of non-GMO flint maize, also called plata maize. This grain is known for high dry-milling yields, the production of large endosperm grits and specific cooking ...

Sowing date (SD) modifies the environmental conditions during the kernel-filling period as well as during kernel dry down after physiological maturity (PM), particularly for late-sown maize (Zea mays L.) crops that currently ...

Temperate and tropical maize differ in their tolerance to heat stress but the ecophysiological bases for genotypic differences are poorly Understood. Our objectives were (i) to assess the sources of kernel loss, and (ii) ...

High intra-specific competition pressure, which is common at most maize (Zea mays L.) cropping conditions, promotes inter-plant variation and the appearance of extreme plant hierarchies with different ability to capture ...

Yield formation in maize (Zea mays L.) dent hybrids has been directly linked to the rate of plant biomass accumulation and partitioning of assimilates to the developing grain. Maize popcorn genotypes have been studied less ...

Final kernel number in the uppermost ear of temperate maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids is smaller than the potential represented by the number of florets differentiated in this ear, and than the number of silks exposed from it ...

Even though the Linux kernel is categorized as being monolithic, it has the capability of extending its functionalities by adding code through modules that are added during runtime. Due to its importance, Linux is a ...
