the effect of pulse electric field on mass transfer in sugar beet cossettes with different thicknesses were investigated and compared with traditional thermal processing. two kinds of sugar beet cossettes 3±0.5 cm and 2±0.5 thicknesses with 3–5 cm long subjected to pulse electric field (3kv, 8 µf, and 20 pulse) and compared with heat treated samples (80ºc for15 minutes) as conventional thermal ...

Considering the advantage of safety and cost, designing a Mg–air battery with high capacity has been highly sought in recent years. However, self-corrosion passivation Mg anode critically reduce discharge performance, hindering large-scale application batteries. In this study, series as-cast extruded Mg-3In-xCa alloys were successfully fabricated. Microstructures, chemical composition, performa...

Climate is one of the most important factors that influence the quality and quantity of crops. Understanding the natural features of any region, especially about the climate, can play a major role in making plans and land use planning. Sugar beet, is one of the major industrial plants, that in addition to producing one of the most fundamental basic needs of society, namely sugar, it can have ot...

Three quinary polar intermetallic compounds in the (Eu(1-x)Ca(x))9In8(Ge(1-y)Sn(y))8 (x = 0.66, y = 0.03) and the (Eu(1-x)Ca(x))3In(Ge(3-y)Sn(1+y)) (x = 0.66, 0.68; y = 0.13, 0.27) phases have been synthesized using the molten In-metal flux method, and the crystal structures are characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Two orthorhombic structural types can be viewed as an ...

Modeling inter-individual variability in plant populations is a key issue to enhance the predictive capacity of plant growth models at field level. In sugar beet, this variability is well illustrated by the phyllochron (thermal time elapsing between two successive leaf appearances): even if the mean phyllochron remains stable within a given variety, there is a high heterogeneity between individ...

Young, relatively undeveloped sugar gliders Petaurus breviceps have been observed to be left alone in the nest while the mother forages and may be subject to considerable thermal or energetic stress. As no information is available on the development of thermoregulation in this species, which begins reproduction in winter, we measured resting metabolic rate (RMR), body temperature (Tb) and therm...

This study was initiated to attack the problem of establishing nutritional balance in far advanced pulmonary tuberculous pa tients and to observe, If possible, whether a proper nutritional balance, in itself, could favorably deflect the downward course of these patients. It was evident that the invariably poor appetites of these patients should be the first point of investigation. The study of ...
