Drying data for individual rice kernels and bulk samples selected from various tillers of a plant and from different maturity groups were experimentally obtained. The data showed that over 93% of the drying occurred within 24 h of exposure to air at 40° C and 60% relative humidity. Differences in the equilibrium moisture content and drying rate constant among kernels were observed. Equilibrium ...

thanatology is the academic study of dying, death and grief. it encompasses thoughts, feelings, attitudes, events and the psychological mechanisms of dealing with them. death obsession includes ruminations, repetitive, intrusive thoughts or images about death. death obsession in the nursing profession can occur on a daily basis, and communication with dying patients can be stressful for nurses....

the time of duration of plant developmental stages could have an effect on crop yield and adaptation in a specific environment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the phenological behavior in a wide range of wheat cultivars and their relation with adaptation and potential of crop production in a specific climate (semi-arid and cold). by using a simple lattice design with three replications i...

This research was performed to determine the effects of different sowing times (ST1, ST2, and ST3) biostimulant (Pi-NFS) doses (0, 100, 250, 500 ml da-1) on seed yield components Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) in continental condition Eskişehir, Turkey. The results indicated that main factors significantly affected except for effect time plant height, however, interaction these signif...

Inoculation of wheat with Azospirillum brasilense, combined with the application of four fungal and bacterium-inhibiting substances to which A. brasilense is resistant in the soil, decreased the rhizosphere population, while it increased wheat root colonization by A. brasilense, even in cases of poor inoculation. The inoculation significantly increased the following wheat plant parameters as we...
