Storage of ‘Fuji’ apple fruit in a high CO2 (3 kPa) and low O2 (1.5 kPa) controlled atmosphere (CA) reduced firmness and titratable acidity (TA) loss during long term storage. This CA environment also induced development of internal CO2-injury (brown-heart) and slowed the disappearance of watercore. The symptoms of internal CO2-injury were first detected 15 days after CA establishment and the s...

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a well-known method to increase oil production from oil reservoirs. Applying EOR to a new reservoir is a costly and time consuming process. Incorporating available knowledge of oil reservoirs in the EOR process eliminates these costs and saves operational time and work. This work presents a universal method to apply EOR to reservoirs based on the available data by...

Fruit maturity, diphenylamine (DPA) treatment and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage regimes were evaluated as factors affecting development of ‘Fuji’ apple CO2 injury. The incidence and severity of CO2 injury (brown-heart) increased with advanced maturity and greater watercore severity at harvest. The development of CO2 injury during storage was prevented by DPA treatment. The severity of CO2 ...

A pilot carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration experiment was carried out in the Michigan Basin in which 10,000 tonnes of supercritical CO2was injected into the Bass Island Dolomite (BILD) at 1050 mdepth. A passive seismic monitoring (PSM) network was operated before, during and after the 17-day injection period. The seismic monitoring network consisted of two arrays of eight, three-component senso...
