I find that: (1) the annual reports of firms with lower earnings are harder to read (i.e., they have a higher Fog index and ar...

Studies were conducted on the effect of controlled atmosphere storage as well as chemical pretreatments on the quality of lettuce as well as biochemical composition of lettuce leaves, Lactuca sativa L., cultivar "Great Lakes." In a CA of 2.5% CO2 and 2.57 02, the lettuce heads could be stored up to 75 days. Pre-storage treatments with microbeand s6nescenceinhibiting chemicale (Captan, Phaltan, ...
