Leaf Temperatures of Sugar Cane.

Since the results in the literature are at considerable variance regarding leaf temperatures with reference to the surrounding air temperature, the writer thought it would be of interest to check some leaf temperatures in a different section of the country from those previously reported. The investigations of CURTIS (2) were performed at Berkeley and Riverside, California, and those of CLUM (1)...

The Biosynthesis of Starch in Sugar Cane

Althougll starch poses a problem in the factory by retarding filtration and crystallization rates of cane juices (Balch, 1953; Feulherade, ~gzg) , little attention has been given the mechanisms of starch formation in sugarcane. Of further importance is the knowledge that both glucose-I-phosphate* and uridine diphospl~oglucose, themselves major precursors of sucrose, are also involved in starch ...

Sugar cane extract: A treatment for atherosclerosis disease?

Introduction: Sugar cane is a giant plant of grain products. Regarding the benefits of the use of medications with herbal origin, in the present study the impact of sugar cane extract on atherosclerosis and LDL-c and HDL-c in the serum of hypercholesterolemic rabbits was studied. Materials and methods: 24 adult male New Zealand rabbits race with an average weight of 2 kg were classified into...

Intelligent Modeling of Sugar-Cane Maturation

The text area is 29 × 45 picas (~12.3 cm × 19 cm) to fit in the printed proceedings book without reduction. When printed on letter paper there will be wide margins. Abstract. Previous use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture for forecasting productivity indicators, especially Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), has shown that it is possible to approximate sugarcane maturation curves.
