Canonical forms of 2×3×3 tensors over the real field, algebraically closed fields, and finite fields. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We classify the orbits of elements of the tensor product spaces F2⊗F3⊗F3 for all finite; real; and algebraically closed fields under the action of two natural groups. The result can also be interpreted as the classification of the orbits in the 17-dimensional projective space of the Segre variety product of a projective line and two projective planes. This extends the classification of the orbits in the 7-dimensional projective space of the ...
A meta-analysis of biostimulant yield effectiveness in field trials Ghent University
Today's agriculture faces many concerns in maintaining crop yield while adapting to climate change and transitioning to more sustainable cultivation practices. The application of plant biostimulants (PBs) is one of the methods that step forward to address these challenges. The advantages of PBs have been reported numerous times. Yet, there is a general lack of quantitative assessment of the overall impact of PBs on crop production. Here we ...
Groundwater exploitation: safe yield versus sustainable yield: example of the Aynalem well field, Mekelle Ghent University
The concept of safe yield is often being used to refer to the amount of groundwater that can be exploited from a well or from an aquifer. Although many definitions have been given for this concept, since its introduction in 1915 by Lee, it could be defined as the quantity of groundwater that can be withdrawn on a permanent basis, whereby a new dynamic equilibrium is reached, and the aquifer storage has been brought to a new constant level, thus ...
Emergent constraint on crop yield response to warmer temperature from field experiments University of Antwerp
Responses of global crop yields to warmer temperatures are fundamental to sustainable development under climate change but remain uncertain. Here, we combined a global dataset of field warming experiments (48 sites) for wheat, maize, rice and soybean with gridded global crop models to produce field-data-constrained estimates on responses of crop yield to changes in temperature (S-T) with the emergent-constraint approach. Our constrained ...
Modelling of ship behaviour in wind and current: proof‐of‐concept of a method to account for arbitrary wind fields and wind field gradients in real‐time simulations Flanders Hydraulics
The objectve of this report is to investgate a method to account for arbitrary wind felds and wind feld gradi‐ ents in the ship simulators at Flanders Hydraulics (FH). Instead of requiring specifc sets of coefcients that each correspond to a certain wind velocity profle, a set of coefcients (determined in a uniform velocity feld) is used that contains contributons of diferent parts of the hull: the ship is divided vertcally in a number of layers ...
Comparison of dry matter yield of lignocellulosic perennial energy crops in a longterm Belgian field experiment Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
In pursuit of a sustainable production of biomass for energy, a comparative trial was installed in Merelbeke (Flanders, Belgium) with six perennial lignocellulosic species: Miscanthus x giganteus, M. sinensis, Panicum virgatum, Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites australis, and willow managed in a short rotation coppice scheme. This field trial was set up in May 2007 and has been managed under low input conditions (no fertilizer and herbicides). ...

B fields in OB stars (BOB): Detection of a magnetic field in the He-strong star CPD-57 degrees 3509 KU Leuven
© 2016 ESO. Aims. We report the detection of a magnetic field in the helium-strong star CPD-57° 3509 (B2 IV), a member of the Galactic open cluster NGC 3293, and characterise the star's atmospheric and fundamental parameters. Methods. Spectropolarimetric observations with FORS2 and HARPSpol are analysed using two independent approaches to quantify the magnetic field strength. A high-S/N FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectrum is analysed using a hybrid non-LTE ...
