Soil-crop simulation models can be a valuable tool in evaluating conservation tillage practices which are viable both economically and environmentally. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of the DSSAT (Decision Support Systems for Agro-technology Transfer) Cropping System...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer – Cropping System Model (DSSAT-CSM) using the CENTURY-based soil module to simulate long-term trends of grain yield, soil organic C (SOC) and soil organic N (SON) based upon 14-year...

Calibration and evaluation are two important steps prior to the application of a crop simulation model. The objective of this paper was to review common statistical methods that are being used for crop model calibration and evaluation. A group of deviation statistics were reviewed, including...

This paper aims to investigate the level of awareness and prevailing attitudes of the Oman government’s electrical sectors towards renewable energy. The geographical landscape of the Sultanate of Oman lends itself to energy generation from solar radiation, yet no decisive steps have been taken...

Scanning tunneling microscopy is used to study intercalation of cobalt underneath a graphene layer on Ru(0001). Deposition of cobalt on graphene/Ru(0001) at 873 K leads to the intercalation of cobalt between the graphene layer and the Ru(0001) substrate, and the intercalation is associated with...
