Physiological characteristics of high yield under cluster planting: photosynthesis and canopy microclimate of cotton

Cotton produces more biomass and economic yield when cluster planting pattern (three plants per hole) than in a traditional planting pattern (one plant per hole), even at similar plant densities, indicating that individual plant growth is promoted by cluster planting.The causal factors for this improved growth induced by cluster planting pattern, t

Continued Experimental Study on the Friction Contact between a Labyrinth Seal Fin and a Honeycomb Stator: Slanted Position

Labyrinth seals are a state-of-the-art sealing technology to prevent and control leakage flows at rotor–stator interfaces in turbomachinery.Higher pressure ratios and the economical use of cooling air require small clearances, which lead to potential rubbing events.The use of honeycomb liners allows for minimal leakage by tolerating rub event
