Altered Soil Properties Inhibit Fruit Set but Increase Progeny Performance for a Foundation Tree in a Highly Fragmented Landscape

Failing to test multiple or non-standard variables in studies that investigate the effects of habitat fragmentation on plant populations may limit the detection of unexpected causative relationships.Here, we investigated the impacts of habitat fragmentation on the pollination, reproduction, mating system and progeny performance of Eucalyptus wandoo

Energy, exergy and environmental assessment of partial fuel substitution with hydroxy powered by a thermoelectric generator in low displacement diesel engines

This study evaluates the effect of partial fuel substitution with HHO (hydroxy) gas on a Jatropha oil biodiesel.For the experimental analysis, a stationary single-cylinder diesel engine was used, in which different conditions of load and rotational speed were established.Additionally, a thermoelectric generator (TEG) was installed in the engine exh
