While Hermiticity lies at the heart of quantum mechanics, recent experimental advances in controlling dissipation have brought about unprecedented flexibility in engineering non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in open classical and quantum systems.Examples include parity-time-symmetric optical systems with gain and loss, dissipative Bose-Einstein condensate
Plant water use efficiency (WUE) is becoming a key issue in semiarid areas, here where crop production relies on the use of large volumes of water.Improving WUE is necessary for securing environmental sustainability of food production in these areas.Given that climate change predictions include increases in temperature and drought in semiarid regio
Ecosystem service (ES) trade-offs arise from management choices made by humans, which can change the type, magnitude, and relative mix of services provided by ecosystems.Trade-offs occur when the provision of one ES is reduced as a consequence of increased use of another ES.In some cases, a trade-off may be an explicit choice; but in osborne hog fe
Trends in energy management schema have advanced into legislating consumer-centered solutions due to inclination interests for personal owned distributed energy eeboo coupons resources at the low-voltage level.Thence, this paper proposes a tailorable energy manager tool that empowers Prosumer(s) in a nanostructured distribution network to take sole
