The physics above and below the yield stress is unified by a simple model for viscoplasticity that accounts for the nonlinear rheology of multiple yield stress fluids. The model has a rate-dependent relaxation time, allows for plastic deformation below the yield stress, and indicates that rapid elastic deformation aids yielding. A range of commonly observed rheological behaviors are predicted, including the smooth overshoot in the loss modulus and the recently discovered contributions from recoverable and unrecoverable strains in amplitude sweeps.

Depletion of soil organic matter was found to be the primary biophysical factor causing declining per capita food production in sub-Saharan Africa. The magnitude of this problem was exacerbated by moisture-stress and imbalanced fertilizer application that caused Striga weed infestation. To address such confounded issues, two-year field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of residual vermicompost and preceding groundnut on soil fertility, sorghum yield, and Striga density.

The Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench, commonly known as okra, is increasingly cultivated in Indonesia due to its recognition as a functional food source. Current efforts in breeding new okra varieties are focused on high productivity, yet minimal information is available regarding selection criteria.

Microplastics (MPs), as a global environmental issue, have unclear impacts on agricultural ecosystems. Cotton, as a major agricultural crop in Xinjiang, requires plastic film covering to ensure its yield. The widespread use of plastic film (commonly made of polyethylene) in cotton cultivation has led to significant concerns about microplastic pollution in cotton fields.

Intracellular cytokine labeling combined with high-parametric flow cytometry offers substantial promise in elucidating the nuanced effector functions of cells. However, the establishment of complex multicolor panels is often laborious and the importance of validation processes may be underestimated in research practice. This raises the risk of prematurely translating multicolor panels into in vivo studies.

The opening of cotton bolls is an important characteristic that influences the precocity of cotton. In the field, farmers often use chemical defoliants to induce cotton leaves to fall off earlier, thus accelerating the cracking of cotton bolls. However, the molecular mechanism of cotton boll cracking remains unclear.
