It has recently been described that the Japanese plum "Santa Rosa" bud sport series contains variations in ripening pattern: climacteric, suppressed-climacteric and non-climacteric types. This provides an interesting model to study the role of ethylene and other key mechanisms governing fruit ripening, softening and senescence. The aim of the current study was to investigate such differences at...

Salinity distributions, dye release studies, and parameter estimation techniques are used to determine the longitudinal (or tidal) dispersion coefficient in the Plum Island Sound estuary in north-eastern Massachusetts, U.S.A. A one-dimensional, intertidal, advection–dispersion model is used to test the validity of the steady-state assumption employed to estimate tidal dispersion from salinity. ...
