Phosphorus seed coating increases phosphorus uptake,early growth and yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) grown on an acid sandy soil in Niger,West Africa

In pot and field experiments conducted in 1990 and 1991 on an acid sandy, phosphorus (P) deficient soil in Niger, West Africa, the effect of seed coating on seedling emergence, early growth and grain yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) was studied. Seeds of pearl millet were coated with different rates (0; 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 5.0; 10.0 mg P seed^–1) and types of P fertilizers (single superphosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate; monocalcium phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium triphosphate). Seedling emergence was generally reduced at coating rates higher than 0.5 mg P seed^–1 and prevented with single superphosphate and sodium triphosphate at rates higher than 5 mg P seed^–1. No correlation was found between the pH and osmomolity of the coatings and final emergence of millet seedlings. The most favourable effect on plant growth and P content was achieved with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (AHP) as seed coating. This was attributed to the enhancement effect of ammonium on P uptake. Compared to the untreated control dry matter production at 20 days after planting (DAP) was increased by 280%, P content per plant by 330%, total biomass at maturity by 30% and grain yield by 45%. Although seed coating with AHP may be harmful to seedlings emergence, it represents a suitable method to enhance early growth and increase yield of pearl millet.     

Speaker adaptive voice source modeling with applications to speech coding and processing

We discuss the use of low-dimensional physical models of the voice source for speech coding and processing applications. A class of waveform-adaptive dynamic glottal models and parameter identification procedures are illustrated. The model and the identification procedures are assessed by addressing signal transformations on recorded speech, achievable by fitting the model to the data, and then acting on the physically oriented parameters of the voice source. The class of models proposed provides in principle a tool for both the estimation of glottal source signals, and the encoding of the speech signal for transformation purposes. The application of this model to time stretching and to fundamental frequency control (pitch shifting) is also illustrated. The experiments show that copy synthesis is perceptually very similar to the target, and that time stretching and “pitch extrapolation” effects can be obtained by simple control strategies.

Potential of microbial growth control in water hydraulic systems by UV‐irradiation and filtration

Water hydraulic systems use water as a pressure medium and, thus, do not pose such adverse environmental impacts as oil hydraulics. Microbial deterioration of the pressure medium and biofouling of the surfaces restrict the applicability of the water‐based technology. The potential of microbial growth control by UV‐irradiation and filtration was studied in a pilot‐scale water hydraulic system. The UV‐irradiation (25 m Ws cm^?2) of the pressure medium reduced the total viable counts of bacteria by 1–2 log₁₀ cfu cm^?3, whereas the total microbial cell numbers and the numbers of surface‐attached microorganisms remained unaffected. Prefiltration (1.2 µm, absolute) of the pressure medium decreased the total microbial cell number in the water phase and retarded the attachment of bacteria. The filtration during the operation (2 µm, absolute) decreased the total numbers of microbial cells and the total viable counts in the pressure medium, and microbial attachment on the surfaces. Microbial attachment was not prevented by filtration. The microbial water quality obtained by pre‐ and on‐line filtration of the pressure medium was sufficient to ensure the long‐term operation of the water hydraulic system assuming that clean work practices are complied with in assembly and during the operation. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry

Reactive surfactants in heterophase polymerization. XVII. Influence of the surfactant on the mechanical properties and hydration of the films

In the context of a European union‐supported network on “Reactive Surfactants for Heterophase Polymerization,” different polymerizable surfactants (surfmers) have been synthesized and engaged in the emulsion polymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid. The thermomechanical properties of films cast from these different latices are reported in this article. The evolution of the mechanical properties with temperature and the effect of water molecules on these properties are studied. We observed that the studied surfactants do not influence the properties of the dry films. However, some differences due to grafting of reactive surfactants appeared when the films were wet. The amount of water uptake is drastically decreased when only reactive surfactants are present in the film. Concerning the mechanical behavior of the wet films, a decrease of the plastic flow stress is observed for all the samples whatever the nature of the surfactant (reactive or conventional). Hence, calorimetric measurements and dynamic mechanical analysis are used to identify the possible mechanisms that induce the change in the mechanical behavior of the latex films. In the case of reactive surfactant grafted to the polymer, the very low value of water uptake is accompanied by a plasticization of the polymer. In contrast, no plasticizing effect is observed in the case of nonreactive surfactant, even if the amount of water is very large. Finally, the tensile behavior of the styrene–butyl acrylate copolymer versus temperature is analyzed in the frame of the quasi point defects (qpd) model. Both rubber elasticity and chain orientation effects are taken into account to describe the behavior laws at large extensions (i.e., ? ≈ 1.2). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
