tomato is one of the sensitive fruits to mechanical impacts and physical tensions. the mostmechanical damages arise from handling which results in reducing tomato quality. in this study,impact energy effect has been studied in 3 different levels 0, 0.14 and 0.25 j by a pendulum impactapparatus, on changes of physicochemical properties of tomato, hybrid variety shiva f1, includingripening factor...

Four orchardgrass diets ranging in cell wall content from 60 to 78% were fed to sheep, and relationships among intake, digestion, passage and ruminal measurements were determined. As cell wall concentration increased, dry matter intake, digestible energy intake, dry matter digestibility and excretion rate decreased, while cell wall intake rumen volume, rumen cell wall and retention time increas...

Two short X-ray exposures (< 3600 s each) of the radio-quiet Seyfert 1.2 galaxy UGC 3973 (Mrk 79) were conducted with XMM-Newton as part of an AGN snap-shot survey. In this paper we concentrate on the significance and possible origin of a narrow 8 keV (rest frame) line-like emission feature detected with the pn instrument during the second observation. Simulations show that the feature is signi...

Community group members are often technologically disadvantaged end users. I explore the use of scenarios and wikis to encourage community groups to become more literate in information technology. My fieldwork suggests that scenarios and wikis can empower community group members as designers, allowing them to become producers of web content rather than just consumers.

On 15 July 1971, Deborah Leach was found dead on the beach. Dr. Manock, the State forensic pathologist, used stomach content analysis to determine the time of Leach’s death. Manock concluded that death was between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Only Mr. Van Beelen had been witnessed on the beach during this time. Van Beelen was convicted of Leach’s murder in 1973.1 His conviction was upheld on appeal....

Sentiments expressed in user-generated short text and sentences are nuanced by subtleties at lexical, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels. To address this, we propose to augment traditional features used for sentiment analysis and sarcasm detection, with cognitive features derived from the eye-movement patterns of readers. Statistical classification using our enhanced feature set improves ...
