abstract to study the effects of different levels of n, mn and zn on yield and quality of pomegranate fruit a factorial experiment based on complete randomized block design with 18 treatments and three replications was conducted in behshahr city, mazandaran province, in 2009.investigated treatments were include: nitrogen, manganese, zinc. fertilizer source for nitrogen was urea and three rates ...

12 MR imaging is the most appropriate non-invasive technique for quantifying the growth of 13 somatic and gonad tissues and to determine sex in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. 14 However, this technique is too costly for field studies where oysters are used as bioindicators of 15 environmental quality or to be applied routinely in hatcheries. We have tested the ability of low 16 Nuclear ...

Winter pruning has been a common practice in peach. Twig topping associated with it, but this used at the same intensity, regardless of cultivar. Therefore, study aimed evaluating productive behavior and quality ‘Maciel’ peach grafted on ‘Capdeboscq’ ‘Okinawa’ (P. persica) as rootstocks, when they were submitted to different twig intensities winter pruning. The following three evaluated: short ...

Aiming at the lack of a precise discrete element model in simulation analysis corn straw crushing, this paper established bond models with different structure and particle properties based on Hertz-Mindlin bonding, verified by combining physical test optimization design methods. Firstly, study generates bonded bonding for epidermis-epidermis, inner flesh-internal flesh, epidermis-internal respe...

Consumption of fruits and vegetables has been shown to be effective in the prevention of chronic diseases. These benefits are often attributed to the high antioxidant content of some plant foods. Apples are commonly eaten and are large contributors of phenolic compounds in European and North American diets. The peels of apples, in particular, are high in phenolics. During applesauce and canned ...

Melons can come into contact with bacteria, viruses or parasites at any stage of the food supply chain from production and transport to preparation in private households. Pathogens can be transferred from the skin to the flesh of the fruit when the melons are cut. At warm temperatures, in particular Salmonella, Listeria and EHEC can easily multiply on the flesh which is low in acidity. Accordin...

Lichen nitidus (LN) is an uncommon chronic eruption of an unknown cause, and it is characterized by tiny, discrete, flesh-colored papules. The sites of predilection are the genitalia, trunk and extremities. Unilateral palmar involvement with pruritus is infrequent. We report here on a case of LN confined to the right palm, and the patient presented with multiple, pruritic, erythematous to flesh...

This study aims to develop a finite element (FE) model determine the mechanical responses of Exotica papayas during puncture loads. The FE puncture-test was developed using ANSYS 19.1 software. proposed framework combined method and statistical procedure validate simulation with experimental results. Assuming elastic-plastic behaviour papaya, properties were measured through tensile test compre...
