Different colored plastic mulches have been developed and used in various crop production methods. The main goals of using are to modify the radiation budget reduce soil water loss. In addition, it aids controlling weed insect infestation as well temperature, use effectiveness, plant development, yield, quality. growth development baby corn depend on several geographical climatic conditions its...

Hermetically-sealed flexible food packages require effective seal integrity tests for quality assurance purpose. 10-pmdiameter channel defects can propagate microorganisms into food. The channel diameter limits of human inspection are about 50 pm in transparent food packages. A reliable methodology is thus needed to detect 50-pmdiameter and smaller channels. The pulseecho Backscattered Amplitud...

As hardware parallelism continues to increase, CPU caches can no longer be considered as a transparent, hardware-level performance optimization. Cache impact on performance, in particular in the face of false sharing, is completely dependent on the software that is executing. To effectively support parallel workloads on cache coherent hardware, the operating system must begin to treat the CPU c...

1. Introduction Flexible and transparent field-effect transistors (FETs) based on organic or inorganic materials are now one of the most attractive research objects because they have potential to bring innovation in conventional electronic device systems. Recently, high-performance flexible integrated circuits using carbon nanotube thin-film transistors (CNT-TFT) have been developed [1-3]. Thes...

Clinically, the initial blanching in burn scar seen on transparent plastic face mask application seems to diminish with time and movement requiring mask alteration. To date, studies quantifying perfusion with prolonged mask use do not exist. This study used laser Doppler imaging (LDI) to assess perfusion through the transparent face mask and movement in subjects with and without burn over time....

R eservations regarding the use of neurotoxins and facial fillers inevitably arise for both patients and physicians. Patients look to their physicians for reassurance and guidance regarding the safety and efficacy of various materials. Nothing speaks louder than trusting a procedure performed on ourselves. We decided to explore and probe further into the use and ultimately the trust we have in ...

Incrimination of vacuum-packaged smoked fish in outbreaks of botulism has raised questions about the safety of this process in comparison with other methods of packaging foods. It has been suggested, for example, that Clostridium botulinum may grow better in a vacuum-packaged product than in one that is packaged without vacuum. To evaluate this possibility, sliced bologna was inoculated with sp...

The impact of globalization on business has forced most industries to become more innovative and implement newer strategies to retain market leadership and growth with the desired profitability. The retention of corporate engineering knowledge and rules is also critical because of the aging workforce. Knowledge based engineering is a concept that allows for the retention of corporate knowledge ...

We present a novel autostereoscopic optical see-through system for Augmented Reality (AR). It uses a transparent holographic optical element (HOE) to separate the views produced by two, or more, digital projectors. It is a minimally intrusive AR system that does not require the user to wear special glasses or any other equipment, since the user will see different images depending on the point o...
