Enhancement of germination in native woody species with particular reference to Rosa corymbifera Laxa.
(University of Hertfordshire, 1998)Commercial production of native tree and shrub species from seed can be unpredictable. Rosa corymbifera 'Laxa' is one such species of commercial importance as a rootstock, and is characteristic of the Rosaceae family. ... -
Enhancement of growth and normal growth parameters by foliar application of potassium and phosphorus in tomato cultivars grown at high (NaCl) salinity
(2001)Three tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cvs., Rio Grande, Monika Fl, and Marylin Fl, were grown hydroponically in a controlled temperature (CT) room for 6 weeks to investigate the effectiveness of foliar application of ... -
Enhancement of multimodal biometric segregation using unconstrained cohort normalisation
(2008)This paper presents an investigation into the effects, on the accuracy of multimodal biometrics, of introducing unconstrained cohort normalisation (UCN) into the score-level fusion process. Whilst score normalisation has ... -
Enhancements to Prepare-and-Measure Based QKD Protocols
(Springer Nature, 2013)We propose some simple changes to a class of Quantum Key Distribution protocols. The first enhancement ensures early detection of any attempted Man-in-the-Middle attack and results in less leakage of key material to any ... -
Enhancing Clinical Learning Through an Innovative Instructor Application for ECMO Patient Simulators
