Raspberries are considered valuable fruits due to their high levels of nutrients and phytochemicals, which have many beneficial effects on humans. As external factors affect the composition these (the type cultivation, soil characteristics, ripeness, storage time post-harvest technologies, cultivar/genotype, climatic conditions), goal this study was analyze different raspberry cultivars grown i...

A network of 24 beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) tree-ring chronologies has been developed for the Italian peninsula. Principal component and cluster analyses were used to identify geographical and altitudinal patterns of tree growth. Correlations and response functions were then applied to the main modes of tree-ring variability to uncover climatic signals. In a landscape occupied by humans for mill...

We present results from simulations to examine how the separation between two convectively unstable layers affects their interaction. We show that two convectively ustable layers remain connected via the overshooting plumes even when they are separated by several pressure scale heights.

There are currently three major competing views on the nature of earthquake fault zones. The first is that faults are (possibly segmented and heterogeneous) Euclidean zones in a continuum solid. The second focuses on granular aspects of faults and deformation fields. The third is that faults are fundamentally rough fractal objects at all relevant scales. The existing data can not distinguish un...

Madhya Pradesh is a hunger hotspot, not only of India, but the world. Unlike the six African nations it statistically equals in IFPRI’s 2008 World Hunger Index, Madhya Pradesh has no recent history of civil war or political instability. How is it that such a ‘stable’ state with over half a century of democracy can have malnutrition indicators in women and children equal to those in Chad and Eth...
