Previous studies in the issue of inventory models with imperfect quality assumed the defectives could be sold in a batch by the end of the inspection process and the manufacturing systems were push systems. However, the above assumptions may not be true in the pull system in which buyer is powerful. Therefore, in this paper, we develop a new inventory model for items with imperfect quality and ...

Purpose : Fruit peels waste is one of the accumulate in huge quantity every day. It a serious problem and need to be managed make environment free from pollution. are very rich macro micro nutrients that beneficial for plant growth. By using fruit peel as fertilizer we can reduce load wastes get more benefits than inorganic fertilizer. Research Method The experiment was carried out Completely R...

The shortage of good quantity and quality water for irrigated agriculture is a major problem in arid semiarid regions. To deal with this problem, deficit irrigation (DI) or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation have been proposed adopted many crops as tool to save water, improve crop tolerance drought stress. An experiment was conducted two consecutive years evaluate the effect on phys...

Mallotus philippinensis is an important source of molecules with strong antioxidant activity widely used medicinal plant. Previous studies have highlighted their anticestodal, antibacterial, wound healing activities, and so forth. So, present investigation was designed to evaluate the total antioxidant activity and radical scavenging effect of 50% ethanol fruit glandular hair extract (MPE) and ...

Pollination is only one of the many events comprising the plant development cycle; however, it is extremely important for yield where seed is required. Although successful fertilization depends on a number of environmental and endogenous factors, including climate and plant nutritional status, a sufficient quantity of pollen must reach the receptive stigma in order to enhance fertilization pote...

RNA interference (RNAi) has been exploited as a reverse genetic tool for functional genomics in the nonmodel species strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) since 2006. Here, we analysed for the first time different but overlapping nucleotide sections (>200 nt) of two endogenous genes, FaCHS (chalcone synthase) and FaOMT (O-methyltransferase), as inducer sequences and a transitive vector system to com...

INTRODUCTION the nutritional panorama in Brazil indicates that the dietary patterns of the population is characterized by the increasing inclusion of saturated and trans fats, sodium, sugars, soft drinks. This epidemiological and nutritional challenges reflects in the patterns of illness and death. OBJECTIVE this study aims to identify patterns of food consumption and dietary changes in the f...

Pectinases constitute a group of enzymes that act on pectic substances, acid polysaccharides present in the primary wall of plants. Pectinases are used in the food industry, in the processing of fruits, in pulp maceration, in the extraction and clarification of juices and in the wine industry. The juice extraction is carried out, generally, by the pressing and partial destruction of the pectin ...

Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting flavonoid biosynthesis in plants. The absolute dependency of light to the plant development has driven evolvement of sophisticated mechanisms to sense and transduce multiple aspects of the light signal. Light effects can be categorized in photoperiod (duration), intensity (quantity), direction and quality (wavelength) including ...

BACKGROUND Lifestyle factors including cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and nutritional habits impact on health, wellness, and the risk of chronic diseases. In the areas of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and pregnancy, lifestyle factors influence oocyte production, fertilization rates, pregnancy and pregnancy loss, while chronic, low-grade oxidative stress may underlie poor outcomes for som...
