This was the second year of a study which evaluated the genetic variation among English walnut germplasm in response to infection by Xanthomonas campestris pv. juqlandis (Xcj), the bacterium which causes the disease walnut blight. Immature leaves and nuts of 10 walnut accessions representing the breadth of currently available germplasm were inoculated. Leaves were scored for disease severity at...

The practical problems of existing methods walnut cracking under compression loading, including incomplete walnut-shell crushing, broken kernels, and so on, are widespread in processing constraints that hinder mechanized processing. Therefore, attempts have been made to design optimize a multi-point extrusion device. For this, walnuts were fed manually into unit through the hopper. tangential f...

It is essential to lubricate the shell since inadequate lubrication leads to defects in the steel product (e.g. longitudinal cracks, sticker breakouts and star cracks). The liquid layer of the slag film, formed between the shell and the mould, lubricates the newly formed shell; the lubrication increases with increasing liquid slag thickness (dl). Lubrication is usually represented by the powder...

Pebrinedisease found to be highly virulent and harm the larval and cocoon characters of tropical tasar silkworm Antheraeamylitta Drury (Daba TV).Therefore an attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of 2% bleaching powder solution in controlling the pebrine disease attained through secondary contamination by studying larval and cocoon characters. In comparison with the healthy control (T1 b...

The main objective of the current study was to investigate potential plant based wastes be used as tea infusions having beneficial health effects. With this purpose, three different formulations tomato peel, lemon onion tangerine walnut and hazelnut shell, oleaster, olive leaves, cypress cone hawthorn were developed these blends evaluated in terms total phenolics, radical scavenging activity, c...

We developed a facile and controllable strategy to fabricate biomimic walnut kernel-like mesoporous silica nanomaterial (WMSN) and erythrocyte-like mesoporous silica nanomaterial (EMSN). The former possesses unique multi-shell hollow structure and surface wrinkles while the latter has special multi-stack structure and bowl-shaped depression. These hierarchical materials with distinct structures...
