Biochemical Evaluation of Some Fruit Characteristics of Blueberry Progenies Obtained from 'Simultan × Duke'.

The popularity of blueberry cv. has increased over time because its fruits are highly valued for their taste, aroma, and multiple ways of use. A field trial with two genotypes and their hybrids was organized during 2021-2022 at the Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti-Maracineni, Romania.

Application of smart irrigation systems for water conservation in Italian farms.

In many countries, water supplies are limited and must be managed for different uses. Providing additional resources for irrigation can be an expensive option, with an unsustainable impact on small farms and on the environment. Therefore, the main efforts should concentrate on the optimal management of existing water resources, paying particular attention to the adequate management of water demands.

Unstable fingering patterns of Hele-Shaw flows as a dispersionless limit of the Kortweg-de vries hierarchy.

We show that unstable fingering patterns of two-dimensional flows of viscous fluids with open boundary are described by a dispersionless limit of the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. In this framework, the fingering instability is linked to a known instability leading to regularized shock solutions for nonlinear waves, in dispersive media. The integrable structure of the flow suggests a dispersive regularization of the finite-time singularities.
