This study focuses on the aerosol hygroscopic properties as determined from ground-based measurements and Mie theory.Usually, aerosol ground-based measurements are taken in dry conditions in order to have a consistency within networks.The dependence of the various aerosol optical characteristics (e.g.aerosol absorption, scattering, backscattering o
Bacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth are referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).PGPR are highly diverse and in this review we focus on rhizobacteria as biocontrol agents.Their effects can occur via local antagonism to soil-borne pathogens or by induction of systemic resistance against pathogens throughout
Vehicles travelling underwater experience drag and the frictional drag costs 60% of the total energy consumption.Using trapped air serving as a lubricant is a promising way to reduce drag.The trapped air plays a significant role in drag reduction, and most failures in drag reduction are related to instability, escape, and dissolution of the trapped
