Probing the responses of thirty-six ajwain (Trachyspermum Ammi L.) ecotypes by phytochemical, morphological, and yield characteristics under drought stress | BMC Plant Biology | Springer Nature Link
Plant height In the present experiment, various growth characteristics of ajowan ecotypes were investigated under drought stress. The results of variance analysis showed that the plant height was significantly affected by the year, stress, ecotype and the interaction of stress × ecotype (Table 2). The average plant height in the second year was 65.70 cm, which was an 8.91% increase compared to the average height in the first year (60.32 cm).
Ultracompact temporal integrator using graphene-based long-range hybrid plasmonic waveguides
Abstract A microdisk-resonator add–drop temporal integrator, composed of a long-range hybrid plasmonic waveguide, with graphene as the central layer, is proposed for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The integrator benefits from a considerable integration time of ${\sim}5.55\; {\rm ps}$, which is about 11 times longer than our previously proposed plasmonic integrator, and also is fairly comparable with the integration time of a microring-based integrator with a ring radius of 47.5 µm.
