Leaf area index (LAI) is a key ecological indicator for describing the structure of canopies and modelling energy exchange between atmosphere biosphere. While LAI forest overstory can be accurately assessed over large spatial scales via remote sensing, understory (LAIu) still largely ignored in studies ecosystem due to fact that it often too complex destructively sampled or approximated by othe...

Rosehip is one of the richest sources vitamin C, and jam made from it tastes delicious. In this work, content food colors E160a (lycopene) E160d (?-carotene) was determined, as well antioxidant capacity these products. By applying UV-Vis spectrophotometric method using Lambert-Beer law, a system two linear equations with unknowns set up, which used to determine concentrations for E160d. The lyc...

The application of heterogeneous photocatalysis in industrial scale has been hindered by a lack of simple mathematical models that can be easily applied to reactor design and scale-up. This work intends to use a simple mathematical model for predicting methylene blue (MB) degradation in a slurry-annular photocatalytic reactor using zinc oxide (ZnO) hybridized with reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-Z...

After potato, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the world?s second-largest vegetable crop. More than 80% of consumption comes from processed products such as ketchup, juice, pickled tomatoes, sauces, paste, pur?e. Samples mild ketchup two different manufacturers (A and B) were selected for analysis content natural food colors E160a E160d. Using a UV-Vis spectrophotometric method Lambert-Beer law...

A new divertor concept REVOLVER-D2 that uses metal pebbles as a target has been proposed for the LHD-type helical fusion reactor FFHR-c1. Demonstration of sufficient plasma shielding rate is one important issues to show feasibility REVOLVER-D2. For this purpose, an experiment on irradiation pebble flow conducted in sheet device TPDsheet-U Tokai University. Reduction ion flux and electron densit...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between electrophysiological, psychophysical, and structural measurements in normal and glaucomatous eyes and to test the hypothesis that there is a continuous structure-function relationship between ganglion cell numbers and visual field sensitivity. METHODS Thirty-four normal subjects and 40 patients with glaucoma were examined with the pattern electrore...
