Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on how different storage conditions (time, temperature, and humidity) affect the quality of two pea seed varieties (Gloriosa and Kelvedon Wonder), which are important for leguminous crops due to their rapid loss of viability.
  • Pea seeds were stored under various conditions, with the best outcomes in terms of germination and growth observed in seeds stored for 8 months at 4°C and 8% humidity.
  • Results indicated that increased storage time negatively impacted germination rates, while temperature and humidity significantly influenced certain chemical traits, although most factors did not have substantial combined effects on seed quality.

Introduction: The need for healthy foods has become a major concern in our modern world, as the global population continues to grow and environmental challenges intensify. In response to these challenges, researchers have started to explore a range of sustainable solutions, including organic farming practices, precision agriculture, and the development and testing of innovative biofertilizers. Consistent with these ideas come the aim of this study, which sets out to give new insights into the cultivation of two sweet pepper cultivars with economic and nutritional importance in Romania.

The aim of this study was to identify the existence of some relationships between certain psychomotor behaviors, which we consider specific to swimming, and learning to execute the technique of some swimming styles (front crawl and backstroke). The study was carried out for 10 months and included 76 children (40 boys and 36 girls) aged between 6 and 9 years who practice recreational swimming in a city in Romania. Several tools were used: the Tapping test for manual dexterity, the Goodenough test for body schema, the Flamingo test for static balance, and the horizontal buoyancy test for body balance on the water.

Some possible correspondences between the Scale Relativity Theory and the Space-Time Theory can be established. Since both the multifractal Schrödinger equation from the Scale Relativity Theory and the General Relativity equations for a gravitational field with axial symmetry accept the same SL(2R)-type invariance, an Ernst-type potential (from General Relativity) and also a multi-fractal tensor (from Scale Relativity) are highlighted in the description of complex systems dynamics. In this way, a non-differentiable description of complex systems dynamics can become functional, even in the case of standard theories (General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics).

Using an analogy between the multi-fractal Schrödinger equation and the dumped oscillator equation through a special ansatz, Stoler-type coherences in the dynamics of physical systems are highlighted. Such a result implies a Ricatti-type gauge, a process that can be considered a calibration of the difference between the kinetic and potential energy of a Lagrangian, specified as a perfect square in generic coordinates.
