It was originally intended to support an updated, industry –oriented “white paper” on practical food safety guidance for melon growers, shippers, handlers, p...

ELISA techniques were used to detect imidacloprid in guttation fluid of young cantaloupe plants in Arizona. Imidacloprid was detected at up to 4.1 microg/ml (ppm) in a coincidental guttation collection 3 d after a top label rate soil application and at 37 microg/ml one d after a separate top label rate soil application study. These imidacloprid titers exceed reported median oral toxicities for ...

But when the statistical cook turns to the raw materials, he finds that hearts of cactus fruits are unavailable, so he substitutes cantaloupe; where the ...

This study aims to investigate the effects of tourist engagement dimensions on revisit and Word Mouth (WOM) intentions heritage tourists. The data were collected from domestic tourists in city Kashan, Iran. To analyse data, this applies Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) as a symmetric analysis technique, well fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) an as...
