mulches bring several benefits to lettuce cultivation.a study on the lettuce ‘red rapids’ has been conducted to determine the influence of the different colored plastic mulch on its growth. the experiment consisted of five color treatments as follows; treatment 1- metallic silver (control), treatment 2- red, treatment 3- orange, treatment 4- yellow and treatment 5-green. results showed that the...

A series of Schiff Bases of Ni(II) and Cu(II) using acetylacetone (acac), salicylaldehyde (sal), ethylenediamine (en), and o-phenylendiarnine (dabe) were prepared and characterized. The electronic spectra of some copper chelates in various organic solvents depend strongly on the solvent used and the d-d band of Cu(II) shifts to red with the increase of the Donor Number (DN) of solvent. The ...

A Green Winter: The Case of Proposed Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort Wind Turbine John MacArthur; Thomas Barton WHEN CONSUMERS REEL FROM THE STICKER SHOCK OF HIGH ENERGY COSTS, smart business managers are looking for creative and profitable ways to insulate themselves from the vagaries of the energy marketplace. This teaching case is about a successful medium-sized ski resort in the Berkshire Mount...

The links between cellular and systemic metabolism and different pathologies, including cancer, are on the rise. Cell editor Lara Szewczak asked Doug Green, Ralph DeBerardinis, and Mark Febbraio about what the prospects are for being able to target metabolism therapeutically. An annotated excerpt of the conversation appears below, and the full conversation is available with the article online.

Motivated by a new way of visualizing hypergraphs, we study the following problem. Consider a rectangular grid and a set of colors χ. Each cell s in the grid is assigned a subset of colors χs ⊆ χ and should be partitioned such that for each color c ∈ χs at least one piece in the cell is identified with c. Cells assigned the empty color set remain white. We focus on the case where χ = {red, blue...

Originating in the grapes, anthocyanins and their derivatives are the crucial pigments responsible for the red wine color. During wine maturation and aging, the concentration of monomeric anthocyanins declines constantly, while numerous more complex and stable anthocyanin derived pigments are formed, mainly including pyranoanthocyanins, polymeric anthocyanins produced from condensation between ...

Wepresentmeasurements of the color and luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering at z 1 in theDEEP2Galaxy Redshift Survey. Using volume-limited subsamples in bins of both color and luminosity, we find the following: (1) The clustering dependence is much stronger with color than with luminosity and is as strong with color at z 1 as is found locally. We find no dependence of the clustering ampli...

Am. J. Enol. Vitic. 56:3 (2005) 197 Phenolic compounds are important to red wine quality because they impact color, mouthfeel, and ageability. Although phenolics are present in grape juice, the amount is greatly increased in wine because of their greater solubility in ethanol than in purely aqueous solutions. Typical levels of the major grape phenolics present in red wine are shown in Table 1. ...
