The assumption must be that different tools achieve different effects, and the ones we choose reflect our perception as to the needs of the individual and/or of the tissues involved. Sledgehammer...

Pressurized injection of nematicidal solutions was effective for control of nematodes within trees and vines. Significant (P = 0.01) control of Pratylenchus vulnus on grape was attained with four nonfumigants (carbofuran, oxamyl, phenamiphos, and sulfocarb) and one fumigant nematicide (DBCP). Pratylenchus penetrans was controlled (P = 0.05 and 0.1) in apples and walnuts with sulfocarh and oxamy...

Simulation can be used to visualize the mechanical classification of walnuts. It collect microscopic information about walnuts in roller and guide its optimization design. In this process, simulation parameters are essential factors that ensure effectiveness simulation. study, crucial thin-skinned walnut particles were determined by combining discrete element method (DEM) physical tests. Firstl...

Abstract Nuts are considered an important protein source in sustainable dietary patterns but seldom studied detail. Here a multi-criteria decision analysis was used to rank 10 nuts and seeds against 11 environmental, nutritional, social criteria provide greater insight into the sustainability impacts of this food group. Weights were defined based on correlation variance between indicator values...

The phenolic extracts of walnut cultivars with a red pellicle (HWE), purple (ZWE) and yellow (WWE) were compared. total contents phenolics, flavonoids condensed tannins, as well in vitro antioxidant activities (ABTS DPPH) the evaluated. results showed that 25 compounds identified three colored walnuts. HWE contained highest phenolics while ZWE content flavonoids. DPPH ABTS assays indicated colo...
