Development and preliminary numerical investigations of a dislocation density-based finite-strain rate-dependent elastoplasticity constitutive model by Garschagen, Emma

“…The model is fit to 5XXX series aluminium mechanical test data sourced from literature, and from preliminary investigations, it is shown that the work hardening behaviour and associated dislocation density evolution under the given loading conditions concurs with general trends seen in literature.…”

N and P limitation of fynbos plants and the nutritional status of legume habitats in the Cape Floristic Region by Potgieter, Gardia Purchase

“…Nitrogen was supplied at 20, 40, 80 and 150 mg kg-¹ soil and P at 0.8, 5, 15, and 31 mg kg-¹. Overall, the results showed that the responses of the legume and nonlegume species to N and P supply were species specific, but that the legume species seemed to be more limited by N supply than the non-legumes. …”
