Light is an important resource for plant growth and development, crops need to change their physiological characteristics to different light environments. Fragaria ananassa Duch. cv. Toyonoka. is an important economic plant which is widely planted at home. A greenhouse experiment was conducted from April 2010 with different sun-shading treatment, 85% (CK), 60% (T1), 35% (T2) and 10% (T3). After...

Illumination of unstained 9 microns cryosections of lung tissue with 365 nm results in visible fluorescence light with a maximum intensity at about 460 nm. These fluorescence tomographical studies can be used for detecting carcinoma of the lung. The fluorescence pattern obtained can be matched nicely with histological findings. Since it takes less than 5 min for getting the fluorescence images,...

The effect of various parameters (pH, irradiation time, nanophotocatalyst dosages and temperature) on photocatalytic degradation of Direct Red 23 (DR 23) and Direct Brown 166 (DB 166) using pure InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 nanocomposite were investigated under visible light irradiation. InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 wer...

The rapid light curve method is a time-saving approach to the measurement of photosynthetic processes over wide spectrum intensities. adaptation darkness enables calculation complete set coefficients for chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and P700 absorption; however, dark-adapted plants demonstrate drastically different patterns Chl than that light-adapted plants. present work compared barley with...

in this study, a novel magnetic nanocomposite (ba-α-bi2o3-γ-fe2o3) was successfully synthesized through a combination of ultrasound and co-precipitation method under mild conditions. the structure of the synthesized nano-composite as a visible light photocatalyst was investigated by the xrd, tem, hrtem, uv-vis and ft-ir. the hrtem confirmed that the nano-magnetic composites are rods with diamet...

Abstract Long-term storage of apples ( Malus x domestica , Borkh.) is increasingly taking place under Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere (DCA). The oxygen level lowered to ≤ 1 kPa O 2 and the are stored just above Lower Oxygen Limit (LOL). Low stress during controlled atmosphere can lead fermentation in if levels too low. Chlorophyll fluorescence be used detect low-oxygen at an early stage storage. ...

Effects of moderate heat on growth and photosynthesis were investigated in two clonal genotypes of Acer rubrum L., originally collected from the thermally contrasting habitats of Florida and Minnesota, USA, and known in the horticultural trade for sensitivity and insensitivity to heat, respectively. Under both common garden and warm greenhouse conditions (day/night temperature of 33/25 degrees ...

The spinal cords and brains--comprising dorsal cortex (DC), medial cortex (MC) and diencephalon (Dien)--of juvenile turtles acclimated to warm temperature [27-30 degrees C; warm-acclimated turtles (WATs)] revealed higher density values of bromodeoxyuridine-labeled cells (BrdU-LCs) than those acclimated to a cooler environment [5-14 degrees C; cold-acclimated turtles (CATs)]. Both populations we...

The photodegradation of Direct Blue 258, a member of the group of azo dyes which are commonly used in the various branches of the industry, was studied. The photostability of this dye was not previously surveyed. Photocatalytic degradation method was evaluated. The both light source include solar simulated (UV 400 W lamp) and sun light (E= 400 W/m2) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used ...
