Article history: Received 26 September 2016 Received in revised form 3 January 2017 Accepted 4 January 2017 Available online 06 January 2017 We present a non-invasive electrochemical strategy for mapping the antioxidant (AO) activity of apple peels, which counterbalances oxidative stress caused by various external effectors. Soft carbon microelectrodes were used for soft probe scanning electroc...

using apple clonal rootstocks is necessary for improving crop efficiency in apple orchards. after graftingof apple cultivars on malling rootstocks, the extra parts of the rootstock was used as stem cuttings. apical,middle and basal parts of these shoots were used as cuttings. two propagation conditions, greenhouse andnursery and three concentrations of indole-3- butyric acid (iba) on rooting, c...

Clarified and standardized apple juice was ultraviolet-irradiated to inactivate polyphenol oxidase enzyme and microbiota, and its effect on bioactive compounds and stability during storage was also evaluated. Apple juice was irradiated with 345.6 J/cm² and treatment effect was evaluated in terms of color, antioxidant capacity, polyphenol content, pH, titratable acidity and total soluble solids....

The project ‘Mycorrhizal symbioses of transgenic apple trees with increased resistance against fungal pathogens’ (Subproject of the framework ‘Biosafety of transgenic woody plants’, supported by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research) investigates whether the transformation of apple trees with fungal chitinase encoding genes besides increasing resistance against fungal pathogens...

Soil aggregate stability is an important indicator for controlling soil losses and can improve soil quality, particularly in an area such as the Loess Plateau. The objective of this study was to estimate the differences in soil aggregates across six different land-use systems (grassland, apple orchard, abandoned apple orchard, cropland maize, cropland wheat, and shrub-grassland). For this purpo...

OBJECTIVE To measure iron absorption in children from meals containing apple juice or orange juice so as to determine if iron absorption will be greater with orange juice because of its higher ascorbic acid content than apple juice, a noncitrus fruit juice that US children reportedly prefer. DESIGN On 2 successive days, children consumed identical meals that included apple juice on one day an...

the presence of yield systematic risk in agricultural sector is one of the main reasons for facing this sector with huge damages and is one of the restricting factors in developing agricultural insurance in iran. this study explores the presence of systematic yield risk and the extent and severity of yield spatial dependence for apple production in iran. to this end, the apple production region...

Four of five apple cultivars (Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, McIntosh, Macoun, and Melrose) inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 promoted growth of the bacterium in bruised tissue independent of the date of harvest (i.e., degree of apple ripening) or the source of the apple (i.e., tree-picked or dropped fruit). Apple harvest for this study began 4 September 1998 and ended 9 October, with ...

In the preceding study (Feder et al., 1990), we report that paired apple and hawthorn infesting populations of Rhagoletis pomonella are genetically differentiated for six allozymes. Here, we show that patterns of intra- and inter-host allele frequency variation seen for these six loci across the eastern United States are consistent on a more fine grained spatial scale in western Michigan. Malic...

This paper investigates whether sentiment analysis of public mood derived from large-scale Twitter feeds can be used to identify important events and predict movements of stock prices. We used the volume and sentiment polarity of Apple financial tweets to identify important events and predict future movements of Apple stock prices. Statistical analysis using the Granger causality test showed th...
