the aim of this research was to improve postharvest quality and vase life of tuberose cut flowers. treatments in this experiment included: distilled water, 3% ethanol and 5% sucrose as control, thyme oil in 3 levels (50, 75 and 100 mg/l), accel in 3 level (25, 50 and 75 mg/l) and for some of flowers pulsing with 5% sucrose in first 24 hours then puting cut flowers treated with sucrose in thyme ...

Nowadays, application of cermet coatings deposited by High-Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) has received considerable attention in a variety of industries. Carbide coatings have high surface roughness, so it is essential to grind the coated surface. The present investigation studied the effect of simultaneous changes in the grinding parameters including the depth of cut, feed rate and cutting sp...

DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING Multicentric, School based. PARTICIPANTS 19834 children were measured from 11 affluent schools from five major geographical regions of India. Data were anal...

gerbera one of 10 important cut flowers in the world and iran. one of the most problems is low-life after harvest and neck bending. producers want to increase longevity of these flowers with using chemical solutions. with the aim of achieving the best chemical treatments to increase flower vase life gerbera goodtimming, nano silver (5 mg l-1), humic acid (50 mg l-1), gibberellic acid (2.5 mg l-...

the objectives of this research were to study the varieties and relationships of yield and quality traits under two harvesting management procedures concerning forage dry matter (dm yield) and 5 quality traits such as dry matter digestibility (dmd%), water soluble carbohydrates (wsc%), crude protein (cp%), acid detergent fibre (adf%) and total ash in tall wheatgrass (agropyron elongatum). in th...

Optimization of the exploitation operation is one of the most important issues facing the mining engineers. Since several technical and economic parameters depend on the cut-off grade, optimization of this parameter is of particular importance. The aim of this optimization is to maximize the net present value (NPV). Since the objective function of this problem is non-linear, three methods can b...
