The fungistatic effects of controlled atmospheres composed of increased CO(2) and decreased O(2) was studied in a manner such that the condition of stored fruit was not a factor in the growth of the fungi. Varying concentrations of O(2) and CO(2) were used. The fungi used were Botrytis alli, Rhizopus nigricans, and Penicillium expansum. The results showed that controlled atmospheres, within the...

Remote detection and characterization of laser beams propagating in maritime atmospheres is discussed. A model for off-axis scattered laser light based on Mie scattering from maritime aerosols is presented and compared with angle and time-resolved measurements from a pulsed laser source. We demonstrate that the direction of the source can be determined from the angle-resolved intensity and that...

Purpose of Review: This review is aimed at illustrating the directions in which research on controlled atmosphere (CA), modified atmosphere (MA) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for fresh and fresh-cut vegetables has been focused since about 2000, and to highlight significant new findings in the field. Findings: In the last 5 years, little research with vegetables has been carried out to...

Part time graduate students are an important way and means to cultivate high-level talents. There contradictions between student work learning, difficulties in selecting topics writing papers the training process, which factors affecting quality. Combined with current situation problems process of part-time students, countermeasures discussed respectively from aspects strengthening characterist...

INTRODUCTION Ward rounds are an essential activity for interprofessional teams in hospital settings and represent complex tasks requiring not only medical knowledge but also communication skills, clinical technical skills, patient management skills and team-work skills. The present study aimed to analyse final year students', nurses' as well as physiotherapists' views on a simulation-based inte...

Since its discovery at Jupiter in 1988, emission from H(3)(+) has been used as a valuable diagnostic tool in our understanding of the upper atmospheres of the giant planets. One of the lasting questions we have about the giant planets is why the measured upper atmosphere temperatures are always consistently hotter than the temperatures expected from solar heating alone. Here, we describe how H(...
