The aim of the paper is to formulate a discrete analogue of the claim made by Alvarez-Gaume et al., ([1]), realizing the partition function of the free fermion on a closed Riemann surface of genus g as a linear combination of 22g Pfaffians of Dirac operators. Let G = (V,E) be a finite graph embedded in a closed Riemann surface X of genus g, xe the collection of independent variables associated ...

In the manufacture of comminuted tomato products, decomposed material may enter the finished product if careful sorting and trimming of the raw fruits is not done. Hillig and Ramsey (J. Assoc. Offic. Agr. Chemists 28:525, 1945) examined rots, determined the acetic, lactic, and formic acid content, and found higher levels than in sound fruit. Van Dame's research (J. Assoc. Offic. Agr. Chemists 3...

Plant Dis. 95:311-316. When applied preharvest, antagonistic yeasts that act as biocontrol agents of postharvest fruit diseases must survive the environmental conditions in the field. In particular, UV-B radiati...

medicinal plants are infected by fungal diseases. a four years survey indicated that, there are various fungal infections in roots and shoots of several medicinal plants that grown in isfahan. lavender (lavandula angustifolia), rosemarry (rosmarinus officinalis) and viper’s bugloss (borago officinalis) plants were infected by fusarium oxysporum and f. solani on roots, showing wilting and eventu...

Apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.), a kind of climacteric fruits, are favored by consumers for their flavor and texture, but they are highly perishable. Apricots soften rapidly after harvest. Once softened, they are easily damaged such as latent damage, which limits their marketing time [1, 2]. Therefore, a common practice for handling and storing apricots is early harvest and applying postharvest ...

because of the harmful effects of chemicals on human health and environment, use of these compounds in postharvest technology of agricultural crops is recently restricted and it is necessary to find safe compounds for use in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables. in this study, effects of salicylic acid and aloe vera gel on quality attributes and postharvest life of table grape(cv. gi...
