In Brazil, ceramic blocks have a significant share of the masonry construction market. Thus, an experimental testing program was devised to determine physical and mechanical properties from different regions Brazil. The included five Brazilian states ten producers, studied were absorption, material density, efflorescence, abrasion, compressive strength, resistance towet-dry cycles. purpose dete...

green fig, a fruit usually consumed as dried is one of the important non-oil export agricultural commodities of iran. physical properties of green fig are vital parameters as regards the design of such post harvest processing equipments as dryers, sorters and storing chambers. in this research work the effect of moisture content on fruit characteristic dimensions, geometric mean diameter, spher...

Figs are a remarkable food resource to frugivores, mainly in periods of general fruit scarcity. Ficus calyptroceras Miq. (Moraceae) is the only fig species in a type of dry forest in western Brazil. In this study I examined the fruiting pattern as well as fig consumption by birds in F. calyptroceras. Although rainfall was highly seasonal, fruiting was aseasonal, since the monthly proportion of ...
