However, recent growth strategies in this industry suggest that the private sector have leaned towards M&A-focused approaches4 rather than in-house research initiatives. The previous decade of the private sector was composed mainly of NewSpace companies developing end products and technologies for organic growth.The rise of space-focused investment funds and venture capital arms of traditional aerospace companies not …

Daily rainfall in excess of the soil infiltration capacity is accounted for as run off by HYDRUS
Gels were made from independent root tip preparations from three different batches of plants. In-gel digestion, sample preparation, MALDI TOF and MALDI TOF-TOF peptide mass fingerprint and database searching was carried out as described in detail elsewhere. Statistical significance was tested with a t-Student test . A 2-fold change in spot signal intensity between treatments …
Arrangements for administering environmental impact requirements vary from State to State
The CAA of 1990 acts as an insurance policy that California continue meeting the goals established in the CCAA. However, the California program will meet the federal requirements by default.Although NEPA regulates many actions, it does little to address proposed projects on a Statewide or local level. Consequently, California and thirteen other States have enacted …
All land-use systems showed much higher C mineralization rates in the topsoil than subsoil horizons
The high base saturation under horticultural land uses as compared to < 23% for the pine forest and tea plantation soils is associated with the presence of soluble salts derived from lime, horse manure and Kfertilizer application. These soluble salts derived from the agricultural amendments are beneficial to soil fertility as they can be readily taken up by roots …
Sink tissues had very little changes of 14C in starch under stress
Source and sink tissues therefore partitioned carbon into starch differently in response to abiotic stress . Source leaf showed reduced 14C partitioning into starch at MD under both mild and severe salinity and osmotic stress, and at ED under severe stress only.Since the plants were labeled 5 h after the stress treatment, the 14C flux into starch …

The geographic diversity of California has led to broad evolution in native plants
However, the number of invasive plants with horticultural origin is high, making it critically important to natural resource managers, ecologists and policymakers to predict which newly introduced species pose the greatest risk of escape and invasion.California has approximately 3,400 species of native plants, of which 24% are found only in the state . However, California …
We used rotated principal components analysis to split the GHA into two sub-regions
Recently, a number of studies suggested that increased SSTs in the STIO may cause large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation and divert important moisture transports away from the GHA, altering previous relationships between regional circulation and precipitation . In an analysis of boreal spring , Williams and Funk found that higher SSTs in the STIO have driven …
Single-peril insurance was rarely used by growers of ornamentals
The mean values of the all-year deviations indicated that vegetable yields fluctuated less than fruits/nuts in aggregate . This was consistent with our intuition. Unlike many perennial crops, vegetables have short growing seasons. In California, they are planted and harvested continuously throughout the year, which results in relatively smooth yield fluctuations on an annual basis. Crop-specific …

The phytohormone JA is a 13-LOX oxylipin derived from lino lenic acid
Based on this linear model, we developed a all markers’ and marker pairs’ effects, those with higher −log10 PATOWAS pipeline to analyze traits through multiple ome- values indicate markers or marker pairs that are more relevant wide association studies. Therefore, the proposed model and to the phenotypic trait. PATOWAS can be used to study not …

Post-hoc analysis of mean differences were performed using Tukey’s HSD test
Multiple measurements of plant growth were evaluated in order to comprehensively assess the potential of BC as an alternative to peat in soil-free substrates . Germination rates were determined by daily counts for the first 10 days following sowing, after which seedlings were thinned to 1 per pot. Seedlings were transplanted into pots that had zero …
