Reduction in yields due to secondary salinization from irrigation, limits to supplies of freshwater, and the growing need in many developing nations for agricultural output from semi-arid and arid maritime regions fed by brackish aquifers have all stimulated widespread efforts to improve salt tolerance in traditional crops and to identify potential new crop plants among wild species native to saline areas [1-3].
Statistical analysis All the data of the physico-mechanical properties was expressed as means ± standard deviations (SD).
The TG and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) curves of three kinds of fibers were shown in Figure 6 and the data were summarized in Table 3.

.% B4C composites[4].As the sliding distance increases under various loads and sliding speeds the reduction in pin length takes place and the wear rate is low for 0 to 1000 m sliding distance and transition to significant increase in wear rate for higher sliding distance.This significant increase in wear rate changes in the wear mechanism from abrasive wear to adhesive wear [4].Lim et al. (1999) has summarized the governance of particles wear mechanism for composites are mainly reliance on sliding condition.
The addition of reinforcements reduce the wear rate of composites because increases wear from mild to severe by Transition load [9].Basavarajappa et al.(2006) studied the dry sliding wear behavior of metal matrix composites: a statistical approach, in order to collect the data in a controlled way Taguchi design for the experiments is used.
X ray data were estimated by taking ICDD-JCPDS card number (33-225) for B4C and (39-1492) for MoS2, this identifies the B4C and MoS2 phases in prepared composites. 5.3 Effect of specific wear rate on different sliding conditions. 5.3.1Effect of specific wear rate on load, sliding speed and sliding distance for room temperature conditions.

MNPs can be specifically designed to increase the current data storage capacity of magnetic hard disks or to be used as biohybrid materials.
Size reduction also reflects in the enhancement of the relative contribution of surface effects.
Neutron diffraction measurements were performed at the HRFD (High Resolution Fourier Diffractometer) instrument at the IBR-2 reactor, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia, which provides the possibility to work in two modes of diffraction data acquisition: high resolution in reciprocal space (using the Fourier chopper and correlation electronics, Δd/d ~ 0.001, where d is interplanar distance) and high luminosity (conventional TOF method, Δd/d ~ 0.01).

The chemical composition on the surface of the fabricated electrode was assessed via an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) (data not shown).
Cyclic voltammograms for 10 µm microband array (N=17) were found inclined towards peak-shaped voltammograms at 100 mV s-1 scan rate of (Fig. 4A) and are scan-rate dependent (data not shown).
Experimental limiting current reduction on functionalized microband electrode array.

This reduction in sample size occurred due to some samples succumbing to fungal infestation (the fieldwork lasted for 45 days), leading to their exclusion from the samples selection process to prevent any potential bias in the models.
Analysis of wood specific gravity radial variability Once the best performing model was chosen, it was used on the acquired spectral data.

Data Analysis: The experimental design was arranged with 20 pumpkin accessions, three pre-drying treatments and two drying methods in split plot with three replications.
The data presented in this study confirmed that the main advantage of pre-drying treatment is shortening the time of drying and then resulting in lower energy requirements for drying [15].
The reduction in pH value of sun dried pumpkin fruit slices may be due to synthesis of organic acid from carbohydrate over the extended period when fruit slices are subjected to sun drying [25]. [30] showed that pH value was highly correlated with TA which is in harmony with the present result reported in this study.

Therefore, the measured data results in relatively close. 4.2 The relationship between the excess pore water pressure and effective radius The relationship curves of between excess pore water pressure and the number of calculation step of three different depth position of single direction-perforated pipe-pile with hole is shown in Fig.11.
The degree of reduction for the peak value of excess pore water pressure of measuring points is shown in Tab.4.
It is proved that the pipe-pile with hole would reduce the peak value of excess pore water pressure of the soil which is around the pile in a certain extent, and expedite the excess pore water pressure dissipation. 2) Although the number of hole is different for three pipe-pile with hole type, the corresponding point of excess pore water pressure data are very similar under a variety of conditions.

Initial modelling data: base month – February; location – Tomsk city; orientation of envelopes – North.
Daily thermal energy consumption for maintaining the indoor climate of controlled rooms Characteristics Materials of the envelopes Room No. 1 Room No. 2 Room No. 3 Room No. 4 Type of IM (layer L3) No Polymer coating Bio insulator Polystyrene Tout0 = -12 °С Energy consumption QhRj [kW×h] λL2Rj = 0.375 м 42.33 27.23 28.73 26.87 λL2Rj = 1.03 м 34.51 31.55 31.67 31.55 Tout0 = -22 °С Energy consumption QhRj [kW×h] λL2Rj = 0.375 м 59.60 44.21 45.74 43.84 λL2Rj = 1.03 м 47.58 44.63 44.75 44.63 Analysis of data presented in Table 1 points to the fundamental differences between the QhRj values under using different types of the thermal insulators.
The most energy conservation effect attains under the polystyrene use: the numerical experiments detect the energy consumption reduction to 36.52 % (for Tout0 = -12 °С) and to 26.44 % (for Tout0 = -22 °С) relative to the envelopes without insulating materials.

The thickness change data were not coherent, due mainly to the non-uniform thickness of the HVOF coatings.
Erosion-oxidation maps An attempt to construct E-O maps for the three coatings was made using wastage and surface roughness measurement data.
This is due probably to steady removal of W oxide forming on the surface and consequent reduction if not elimination of WC that is inside the coating from oxidation and the formed oxide's expansion to expose even more of the coating surface.

The alternative cement systems are involving calcium aluminate sulphate (C4A3S) as well as dicalcium silicate (C2S) as major mineral components, which have characteristics of low clinkering temperature and significant green-house gas reduction (HFW Taylor, 1997; Peter C.
Unfortunately, due to lack of performance tracking, there is no enough data available on the performance of reinforced Sulfoaluminate cement concrete after 30 years in use.
At last, we must realize that the results from TGA-DSC analysis are rather comparable with those data obtained from QXRD analysis, i.e. more than 65% aH-C2S and 22% aL-C2S were preserved during cooling process. 4.2 QXRD analysis The quantities of clinker mineral components were analyzed using Quantitative X-ray Diffraction analyzer by Rietveld method (ASTM C 1365, 2011).
