Reports the results of an FAO/IAEA Coordinated Research Programme (1985-1991), whose objective was to enhance yield and biological nitrogen fixation in the common bean by reducing its reliance on soil and fertilizer nitrogen.
Planetary nebulae are a keystone for the understanding of the evolution of stars, for deep insights into the physical processes prevailing in highly excited dilute nebulae, and for the chemical evolution in galaxies.
Provides a basic introduction to kinetic plasma phenomena in solar and stellar coronae. The text explains the fundamentals of plasma physics and covers observations of coronal dynamics, such as coronal current, particle acceleration, propagation of particle beams and shocks.
Containing invited essays on the bulges of spiral galaxies, this text pays detailed attention to the bulge of the Milky Way, one of the major building blocks of this system. Topics include the definition of the bulge in our galaxy and its relation to the so-called spheroid.
Addresses emerging trends in ocean reverberation research. The availability of high-power, low-frequency sources and highly directional arrays has brought with it the tools, and the need, to study long-range reverberation.
The 5th International Symposium on Inland Saline Lakes was held at Lake Titikaka, 22-29 March 1991 with participants from 16 countries. 23 papers presented by the participants, plus an additional one reporting a microcosm study on salinity effects, constitute this volume.
