A study has been done to analyse the microbiological quality of salads served along with street foods of Hyderabad. A total of 163 salad samples, 53 of carrot and 110 of onion samples, were collected from four different zones of Hyderabad. About 74% and 56% had Staphylococcus aureus in carrots and onions, respectively. Fifty-eight percent of carrots and forty-five percent of onions samples cont...

Encapsulating messages in onions is one of the major techniques providing anonymous communication in computer networks. To some extent, it provides security against traffic analysis by a passive adversary. However, it can be highly vulnerable to attacks by an active adversary. For instance, the adversary may perform a simple so–called repetitive attack: a malicious server sends the same massage...

Self-assembly of lipids in water is well-known to result in nanostructures such as vesicles in dilute solution. In contrast, self-assembly in nonpolar organic solvents (oils) is much less established and there are hardly any known routes to forming structures such as reverse vesicles. Here, we build such structures based on our surprising recent discovery that salts can influence self-assembly ...

A gas sensor array, consisting of seven Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) sensors that are sensitive to a wide range of organic volatile compounds was developed to detect rotten onions during storage. These MOS sensors were enclosed in a specially designed Teflon chamber equipped with a gas delivery system to pump volatiles from the onion samples into the chamber. The electronic circuit mainly co...

Susceptibility to the tested varied among reproductive types, populations, years. Among 14 female adults type using kidney bean leaf dipping method, spinetoram, ...

An argument is categorical if its premises and conclusion are of the form All members ofC have property F, where C is a natural category like FALCON or BIRD, and P remains the same across premises and conclusion. An example is Grizzly bears love onions. Therefore, all bears love onions. Such an argument is psychologically strong to the extent that belief in its premises engenders belief in its ...

The effect of warm water dip in combination with irradiation on quality of fresh-cut green onions was studied. Fresh-cut green onions were treated with and without warm water (50 °C for 20 s) and packaged prior to irradiation at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kGy, then stored at 4 °C for 14 d. Color, texture, decay percentage, electrolyte leakage, sensory qualities, and total aerobic count (TAC) were mea...

Bacillus subtilis is a nonpathogenic bacterium that lives in soil and has long been used as biological control agent in agriculture. Here, we report the genome sequence of a B. subtilis strain isolated from rhizosphere of onion that shows strong biological activity against the soilborne fungal pathogen Setophoma terrestris.

onion (allium cepa l.) is widely used around the world and it is very important vegetable in the slovak republic (sr). six varieties of onion (karmen, kamal, amika, hector, diamant, white dry) were studied and the contents of selected heavy metals, their polyphenol contents as well as the possible correlations among selected heavy metals in soil and onions were analysed. six soil sampling sites...

This is the designation given b}7 Surgeon-Major R. Davis to a disease that he has found prevalent amongst the prisoners in the Rangoon Central Jail. The name is not meant to imply that the disease is caused by the eating of potatoes. On the contra"/ it applies to a peculiar form of scurvy that is amenable to the action of potatoes, "whereas it proves intractable to the influence of other antisc...
