Data from experiments where N supply was judged from the results to be ample and for which chemical analyses were available, were used for the current analysis. Since the interest here is not in the effects of the various treatments (which only rarely resulted in significant effects), the data were pooled to produce four distinct data sets, as shown in Table 1. The environmental data were averaged over the two experimental compartments (or four sub-compartments, when appropriate), and the crop data were averaged over the two higher N treatments, over four blocks (replications), as well as over the compartments (climatological treatments). Hence, each point in Fig. 1 and all the averaged fresh mass, dry mass, nitrate content and reduced-N content data (except the initial harvests), are means of at least eight individual determinations. The crops were sampled for analysis five or six times, at approximately uniform intervals of light integral, along the growing period, starting with the day of transplanting and ending at the final harvest.

The timing of the code has been setup so that the filter will propagate the new sample through and when the output is ready the integral term will be triggered which will mean the code can be modified to work at different time intervals with less effort to change code.
The aim of the present work was to assess the significance of changes in root AQP gene expression and hydraulic conductivity (Lp) in the regulation of water balance in two hydroponically-grown rice cultivars (Azucena, Bala) which differ in root morphology, stomatal regulation and aquaporin (AQP) isoform expression. Plants were exposed to NaCl (25 mM, 50 mM) and osmotic stress (5%, 10% PEG6000). Root Lp was determined for exuding root systems (osmotic forces driving water uptake; 'exudation Lp') and transpiring plants (hydrostatic forces dominating; 'transpiration-Lp'). Gene expression was analysed by qPCR. Stress treatments caused a consistent and significant decrease in plant growth, transpirational water loss, stomatal conductance, shoot-to-root surface area ratio and root Lp. Comparison of exudation-with transpiration-Lp supported a significant contribution of AQP-facilitated water flow to root water uptake. Changes in root Lp in response to treatments were correlated much stronger with root morphological characteristics, such as the number of main and lateral roots, surface area ratio of root to shoot and plant transpiration rate than with AQP gene expression. Changes in root Lp, involving AQP function, form an integral part of the plant hydraulic response to stress and facilitate changes in the root-to-shoot surface area ratio, transpiration and stomatal conductance.

A computer simulation of a hydroponics-based plant growth chamber using ammonium to control pH was constructed to determine the feasibility of such a system. In nitrate-based recirculating hydroponics systems, the pH will increase as plants release hydroxide ions into the nutrient solution to maintain plant charge balance. Ammonium is an attractive alternative to traditional pH controls in an ALSS, but requires careful monitoring and control to avoid overdosing the plants with ammonium. The primary advantage of using NH4+ for pH control is that it exploits the existing plant nutrient uptake charge balance mechanisms to maintain solution pH. The simulation models growth, nitrogen uptake, and pH of a l-m2 stand of wheat. Simulation results indicated that ammonium-based control of nutrient solution pH is feasible using a proportional integral controller. Use of a 1 mmol/L buffer (Ka = 1.6 x 10(-6)) in the nutrient solution is required.
The control system is presented as an integral system which covers the explanation of basic and advanced concepts for a real time controller. Also, structural analysis is introduced, whereby mechanical design is regarded as a key factor.
There are several different algorithms that can be used to balance an inverted pendulum. In this project PID (proportional-integral-derivative) type of control is used to balance the inverted pendulum. PID is very widely known, and there is plenty of information available on the web about it. Besides it is fairly simple to understand how the PID control works.
