This paper presents research that proposes a new standard fire curve to simulate exterior wildfire due burning trees and bushes. An extensive inquiry was performed in the existing scientific literature, search of measured temperature versus time curves by other authors, bushes using situ thermocouples. The gathered for both are plotted together, envelope upper-bond design proposed. objective th...

the separation of saffron stigmas from fresh flowers is the most important and the most difficult stage of saffron harvesting. saffron production costs are high because this harvesting stage is done by hand and is very time-consuming. one way of preserving the saffron flower is to dry it. the separating of the stigma from dried saffron flowers can then be done at an appropriate time. this study...

In hermaphroditic plants, female reproductive success often varies among different positions within an inflorescence. However, few studies have evaluated the relative importance of underlying causes such as pollen limitation, resource limitation or architectural effect, and few have compared male allocation. During a 2-year investigation, we found that female reproductive success of an acropeta...

the machine to be designed and developed with a view to resolve one ofthe irksome problems of this institute has been facing every year. this institute issurrounded by vast non- fertile land area of about 200 acres, which becomes widelyoccupied by numerous breads of bushes and shrubs during post-rainy season. due tothis unwanted proliferation of such verdant institute gets abysmal look and that...

The event bush is a recently developed formalism for knowledge representation optimized specifically for Earth science knowledge. It graphically represents logical and/or probabilistic dependencies between its nodes (events). Numerical data in geosciences often come in the form of time series: therefore, it is a very common situation to have tables with time-related numerical data for the varia...

the aim of this research was to improve postharvest quality and vase life of tuberose cut flowers. treatments in this experiment included: distilled water, 3% ethanol and 5% sucrose as control, thyme oil in 3 levels (50, 75 and 100 mg/l), accel in 3 level (25, 50 and 75 mg/l) and for some of flowers pulsing with 5% sucrose in first 24 hours then puting cut flowers treated with sucrose in thyme ...

The abscission of Alstroemeria petals is the serious problem at the industry of cut flowers of this plant. In this study, cut Alstroemeria cv. Bridal flowers were pulsed with solutions containing natural essential oil carvacrol, gibberellic acid and benzyladenine (50 and 100 mg L-1), -5-sulfosalicylic acid (1 and 1.5 mM) and sucrose (5 and 10%) for 24 hours. The distilled water was used as cont...
