Effect of salt stress on different tiller positions in rice and the regulatory effect of prohexadione calcium.

Soil salinization has resulted in a significant decrease in crop yields, particularly affecting the production of crops like rice ( L.). Prohexadione calcium (Pro-Ca) can enhance crop resilience against failure by managing plant height.

A Third Generation Calphad Description of Pure Lithium.

This study, based on the analysis of existing experimental data, presents a third generation Calphad description of lithium, covering all temperature ranges, using nonlinear least squares in Matlab. We have expanded the SGTE database's description of lithium phases (face-centered cube, body-centered cube, liquid) down to 0 K with reasonable accuracy, taking into account the significant effort required to reconstruct the database for each element. During the evaluation process, it was determined that the low-temperature phase of lithium is fcc.

When can total knee arthroplasty be safely performed following prior arthroscopy?

Background: The optimal timing to perform a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after knee arthroscopy (KA) was controversial in the literature. We aimed to 1) explore the effect of prior KA on the subsequent TKA; 2) identify who were not suitable for TKA in patients with prior KA, and 3) determine the timing of TKA following prior KA.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 87 TKAs with prior KA and 174 controls using propensity score matching in our institution.
