Africa. Asian cultivated rice evolved into three eco-geographical types, Indica, Japonica, and Javanica. It is estimated that about 120,000 distinct rice varieties exist in the world, which differ from one another in terms of growth duration, endosperm traits, level of tolerance to coldness, or other abiotic stresses (e.g., drought, salinity, and submergence), as well as resistance to diseases and pests. In some countries, varieties are classified also according to the season in which they grow [1]. 

There are references of the implementation of aU of the above adjustment principles [9-12]. However, when we deal with crystals whose mass is in the range of several hundred kilograms and growth duration is several days, such factors like ruggedness, stability and dependability are crucial. From this standpoint, the advantages of melt-level detectors used for growing large-size crystals turned out to be decisive. 

CCF dependences on the -factor of loaded probe vibrators are shown in Fig.4. For s(l) pulses growth of 2 factor increase CCF maximum amplitude and selectivity. In this case the higher the Q, the longer the pulse duration and the more its periods contribute to the processing. F or q(t) pulses rising of g-factor decrease CCF maximum amplitudes and reduce the selectivity. As q(l) pulse consists of a few first periods only its maximum amplitude depends on Q. the higher the Q, the lower the final pulse amplitude, and therefore, CCF amplitude and selectivity. 

The availability of lasers having pulse durations in the picosecond or femtosecond range offers many possibiUties for investigation of chemical kinetics. Spectroscopy can be performed on an extremely short time scale, and transient events can be monitored. For example, the growth and decay of intermediate products in a fast chemical reaction can be followed (see Kinetic measurements). 

FIRE SIMULATOR predicts the effects of fire growth in a 1-room, 2-vent compartment with sprinkler and detector. It predicts temperature and smoke properties (Oj/CO/COj concentrations and optical densities), heat transfer through room walls and ceilings, sprinkler/heat and smoke detector activation time, heating history of sprinkler/heat detector links, smoke detector response, sprinkler activation, ceiling jet temperature and velocity history (at specified radius from the flre i, sprinkler suppression rate of fire, time to flashover, post-flashover burning rates and duration, doors and windows which open and close, forced ventilation, post-flashover ventilation-limited combustion, lower flammability limit, smoke emissivity, and generation rates of CO/CO, pro iri i post-flashover. 

The oxidation of aluminium at room temperature is reported to conform to an inverse logarithmic equation for growth periods up to 5 years duration. At elevated temperatures, oxidation studies over shorter periods illustrate conformity to parabolic, linear and logarithmic relationships according to time and temperature. These kinetic variations are attributed to different mechanisms of film formation . ... 

Barker and Jenkins45 attempted to solve the problem by application of the polarising current in a series of pulses one pulse of approximately 0.05 second duration being applied during the growth of a mercury drop, and at a fixed point near the end of the life of the drop. Two different procedures may, however, be employed (a) pulses of increasing amplitude may be superimposed upon a constant d.c. potential, or (b) pulses of constant amplitude may be applied to a steadily increasing d,c. potential. 

An experimental nm had been conducted to study the effect of airflow rate in the 3 litres aeration wastewater treatment tank. Nutrients were added in the treatment tank to ensure sufficient bacterial growth. In each experiment, the cell optical density, COD and die concentration of chemicals equivalent to carbohydrates were monitored for the duration of aeration. 

Microbial over-growth was controlled with carbon dioxide passed through the bed. There was a maximum 30% increase in the beads diameter at the lower part of column, where the glucose concentration was maximum. The void volume was measured by passing sterilised water. In addition to the carbon source, the feeding media consisted of 1 g l 1 yeast extract pumped from the bottom of the reactor, while the flow rate was constant for a minimum duration of 24 hours.
