One of several challenges in cool climate viticulture with a short growing season is to
consistently reach a uniform, optimal fruit technological maturity at harvest before the first autumn …

Achieving desired fruit quality at harvest in cool climate conditions is a challenge, especially
for red varieties, and the typical inability of fruit to reach technological maturity is a critical …

A 3-year trial was conducted in the hot climate of central California to assess the effect of
training systems, irrigation treatments and their integration on canopy architecture, yield and …

2 μm laser oscillation with a low threshold has been achieved in Ho^3+:Tm^3+-codoped
silica microspheres (HTCSMs). Ho^3+:Tm^3+-codoped solgel functionalization film is applied …

Three potential techniques, ie the optical taper fiber–microsphere device(OFMD), employment
of the low phonon energy tellurite glass and the optimal concentration of rare-earth ions …

A field study was conducted for three consecutive seasons in the hot climate of central
California to assess the performance of ‘Merlot’ grapevine (Vitis vinifera) grafted onto ‘Freedom’ […

We report an experimental realization of five-order Stokes stimulated Raman scattering lasing
in silica microspheres pumped by a 1030 nm continuous-wave laser. The wavelength of …

Resource and Environment, CAS. Gui-bin Jiang is a professor at and the director of the State …

Bloom leaf removal is more effective than RDI at improving berry total anthocyanin concentration
without adversely affecting yield. Given the significant reduction on yield from RDI and …

Specular reflections pose great challenges on various multimedia and computer vision tasks,
eg , image segmentation, detection and matching. In this paper, we build a large-scale …
