Apples have long been known for their beneficial effects on human health due to the presence of various bioactive compounds. It is therefore very important understand biophysical properties apple cuticle that dictate apples’ storability and quality. The purpose this work was determine roughness, hydrophobicity, surface potential, color autochthonous new cultivars. roughness measured by optical ...

The response of shallow geotechnical structures is affected by interaction with the atmosphere. Since ground surface very often vegetated, plant transpiration plays a major role in such an interaction. Transpiration applications generally modelled way reduction function (e.g. Feddes function). However, its parameters are borrowed from agricultural literature, where focus on crop species and loo...

Automatic irrigation scheduling based on real-time measurement of soilless substrate water status has been recognized as a promising approach for efficient greenhouse irrigation management. Identification of proper irrigation set points is crucial for optimal crop performance, both in terms of yield and quality, and optimal use of water resources. The objective of the present study was to deter...

Abstract Recently, nanoparticle additives have been used to improve stability and hence efficiency of chemicals during enhanced oil recovery. Herein, a comparative analysis the application nanoparticle-stabilized xanthan gum for recovery applications was investigated. The nanoparticles as are silicon oxide (SiO 2 ), metallic aluminium (Al O 3 titanium (TiO ). Rheological measurements were carri...

A fibre glass reinforced polymer was developed, using epoxy resin as the matrix material and E-glass reinforcement, by hand laying method. Different set of composite were produced varying weight percentage (wt%) addition reinforcement to follows 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% 50%. The polymeric so subjected various mechanical property tests hardness, tensile, impact, tests. hardness test conducted TQ SM100...

Background The core stability is important for the performance of hip joint in standing position. However, little research comparison abductor strength position according to has been reported. Purpose Core was manage chronic lower back pain and improve balance. This study investigated influence on standing. Study design A parallel-groups Methods 34 subjects with sufficient insufficient between ...
