Characterization of antioxidant compounds in Jaffa sweeties and white grapefruits

Antioxidant compounds and the antioxidative activities of new Israeli citrus fruit sweetie [(Oroblanco, pummelo-grapefruit hybrid (Citrus grandis C. paradisi)] were compared with the better-known white grapefruit. Total and free phenols were determined with the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent, phenolic acids (free, esters and glycosides) by HPLC analysis and anthocyanins spectrophotometrically. The ant...

Analyzing Jaffa Protest Form, Intention and Violence, October 27th 1933

Generation of simulated rainfall data at different time-scales

We desire to generate monthly rainfall totals for a particular location in such a way that the statistics for the simulated data match the statistics for the observed data. We are especially interested in the accumulated rainfall totals over several months. We propose two different ways to construct a joint rainfall probability distribution that matches the observed grade correlation coefficien...

Spatial Coherence of Tropical Rainfall at the Regional Scale

This study examines the spatial coherence characteristics of daily station observations of rainfall in five tropical regions during the principal rainfall season(s): the Brazilian Nordeste, Senegal, Kenya, northwestern India, and northern Queensland. The rainfall networks include between 9 and 81 stations, and 29–70 seasons of observations. Seasonal-mean rainfall totals are decomposed in terms ...
