[Effects of sowing date and seeding rate on soil water consumption and plant nitrogen translocation in dryland wheat].

To tackle the issue of rainfall delay during dryland wheat sowing season and further examine the effects of seeding rate on water use and yield formation, a field experiment was conducted at Wenxi Experimental Station, Shanxi Province between 2015 and 2017. We used two sowing dates, i.e.

A globally convergent QP-free algorithm for nonlinear semidefinite programming.

In this paper, we present a QP-free algorithm for nonlinear semidefinite programming. At each iteration, the search direction is yielded by solving two systems of linear equations with the same coefficient matrix; [Formula: see text] penalty function is used as merit function for line search, the step size is determined by Armijo type inexact line search. The global convergence of the proposed algorithm is shown under suitable conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed allylation of sulfonyl hydrazides with alkynes to synthesize allylic arylsulfones.

A novel method for the construction of allyl arylsulfone derivatives was developed by palladium catalyzed allylation of sulfonyl hydrazides with alkynes. A series of structurally diverse allyl arylsulfones can be regioselectively synthesized in high yields under mild conditions.

[Relationships of water conservation through mulching in fallow period with wheat nitrogen transportation and crop yield in dryland].

Field experiments were carried out to study the effects of different mulching times (30 or 60 d after previous wheat harvest) and mulching methods (whole-mulching, half-mulching and no- mulching) on wheat plant N absorption and assimilation after deep plowing in fallow period on dryland. The results showed that mulching improved water storage efficiency in fallow period and soil water storage of 0-300 cm at sowing stage significantly. Mulching in fallow period, especially the whole-mulching, increased the N accumulation amount of each growth stage, N translocation amount and rate before anthesis (NABA) , and N accumulation amount after anthesis (NAAA) and grain N.

Effect of subsoiling in fallow period on soil water storage and grain protein accumulation of dryland wheat and its regulatory effect by nitrogen application.

To provide a new way to increase water storage and retention of dryland wheat, a field study was conducted at Wenxi experimental site of Shanxi Agricultural University. The effect of subsoiling in fallow period on soil water storage, accumulation of proline, and formation of grain protein after anthesis were determined. Our results showed that subsoiling in fallow period could increase water storage in the 0-300 cm soil at pre-sowing stage and at anthesis stage with low or medium N application, especially for the 60-160 cm soil.

Pd-catalyzed synthesis of beta-biarylacryl ferrocenes via Suzuki cross-coupling.

Some novel beta-biarylacryl ferrocene derivatives were synthesized via Pd-catalytic Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of beta-(2-bromophenyl)acrylferrocene and arylboronic acids. The structures were determined with elemental analyses, IR spectra, and (1)H-NMR spectra.

[Experimental investigation of CAEP far-infra-red 100 microm FEL spontaneous emission].

In the FEL experiment, when electron beam passes through the wiggler, the movement of electron beam will be changed to wiggle in the wiggler due to the periodical magnet field. Meanwhile the electron beam will spontaneously emit the radiation with a wavelength similiar to the FEL radiation. This radiation is influenced by the parameters of both the electron beam and the wiggler.
