The Effect of Washing and Peeling on Reduction of Dithiocarbamates Residues in Cucumber and Tomato

Background: Dithiocarbamates, the main group of fungicides, are used to control about 400 pathogens in more than 70 crops. These pesticides are widely applied to crops including potato, cereal, apple, pear and leafy vegetables throughout the world since 1960. From the late 1980s, using these fungicides has caused much debate among regulators about their long-term effects on consumers and occupa...

Strong-field Radiative Scattering

Variation of Parameters Method for Thermal Analysis of Straight Convective- Radiative Fins with Temperature Dependent Thermal Conductivity

In this study, thermal performance across straight convecting- radiating fin with temperature dependent thermal conductivity is considered. The variation of parameters (VPM) is adopted to analyze the nonlinear higher order differential equations arising due to thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient on temperature distribution. Pertinent parameters such as thermo geometric and radiat...

Precipitation, radiative forcing and global temperature change

[1] Radiative forcing is a useful tool for predicting equilibrium global temperature change. However, it is not so useful for predicting global precipitation changes, as changes in precipitation strongly depend on the climate change mechanism and how it perturbs the atmospheric and surface energy budgets. Here a suite of climate model experiments and radiative transfer calculations are used to ...

P2.55 Validation of Radiative Transfer for Atmospheric Temperature Sensing

Remote sounding of atmospheric temperature profiles, which is of paramount importance to numerical weather forecasting, has been conducted routinely with the 15μm CO2 band using low spectral resolution satellite remote sensors. Next generation atmospheric sounders, such as the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, AIRS (Aumann and Pagano 1994), is also designed to use the 15-μm CO2 band, but in additio...
