Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. lanatus] is a diverse species, with fruits of different sizes, shapes, rind patterns, and flesh colors. This study measured the inheritance of novel rind phenotypes and verified the genetics of white, red, salmon yellow, and canary yellow flesh colors. For each of the 11 crosses, six generations (P(a)S1, P(b)S1, F1, F2, BC1P(a), and BC...

in this study, the physical properties (size, mass, volume, density, geometric diameter, sphericity and friction coefficient on galvanized steel and wood surface) and some mechanical properties of flesh and skin tissue (modulus of elasticity, bioyield stress, yield strain and toughness) for small, medium and large melons of ghasri variety were determined. means comparison was done by duncan’s m...

Watermelon plants cultivar ‘Kinaree 457’ were grown in plastic house under natural daylight only (control) or with nightly LED supplementary lighting for 6 h (6:00 pm-12:00 pm) 12 pm-6:00 am) starting from transplanting up to fruit harvest. Plant height, leaf chlorophyll content and yield significantly increased response lighting. Fruit mass, size (length x width) flesh thickness at treatment a...

The whole, that which is compounded out of something, is one, not like a heap, but like a syllable. Now the syllable is not its elements; ba is not the same as b and a, nor is flesh the same as fire and earth (for when these are separated the wholes, i. e. the flesh and the syllable, no longer exist, but the elements of the syllable exist, and so do fire and earth); the syllable, then, is somet...

The effect of aqueous solution of citric acid (CA) on the lipid stability of the European catfish (Silurus glanis) fillets during frozen storage (up to 6 months) was investigated. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices (free fatty acids, peroxides and TBA) and complemented by the measurement of expressible moisture and sensory evaluation (flesh odor, consistency and f...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lip is a relatively common malignancy of the head and neck region. Tumor thickness, grading, and perineural invasion are significant prognostic indicators. We report an 81-year-old, otherwise healthy woman presenting with a huge friable mass originating from her lower lip. The lesion had started as a small papule 8 years before. It later became eroded and ul...

In this study the effects of plant growth regulators including; GA3 (0 and 50 mg/l) and ethephon (0 and 500 mg/l) were studied on the quality properties of two grape cultivars (Perlette and Yaghuti). At the harvest time, some physicochemical characteristics such as fruit cluster weight, fruit diameter, length, volume and L/D ratio, flesh firmness, fresh weight, TA, pH, TSS and fruit color were ...

Prosthetics soft tissue trauma is attacked with a combination of theoretical and experimental tools . A novel socket design results, accentuating flesh stress relief at the socket brim . Currently, the novel socket has been fitted to two subjects with long histories of stump trauma ; field test results are not yet available.

Granuloma annulare(GA) is an inflammatory benign cutaneous disease of unknown etiology that may manifest different clinical features. The most common presentation or classic form of the disease is manifested as flesh colored, annular grouped papules, commonly involving the hands and feet. Various skin injuries and infections have been reported to trigger GA, including insect bites, warts,...

The major lipids ofthedogfish (Squalusacanthias) are the diacyl glyceryl ethers and triglycerides. These classes of compounds in the flesh (dorsal section) and liver were separated by thin-layer chromatography. The glyceryl ethers and/or fatty acids resulting from saponification of each of these fractions were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography as their isopropylidene and methyl ester deriva...
