The ascorbate content declined rapidly in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) florets, but not in the stem tissue, during post-harvest senescence. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), ascorbate oxidase (AO), l-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GLDH), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and glutathione reductase (GR) were investigated in gene expression a...


 Microwaves refer to electromagnetic waves ranging from 300 MHz GHz in frequencies. Microwave de-infestation works well without degrading the host material’s quality. In this research, four different samples of wheat grains are taken each location, which injected by 20 pests same type per sample. Each sample is then put into microwave oven for exposure time 1 minute and 30 seconds, heated...

Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...

Globally, soybeans are grown to meet the needs for animal and human nutrition, oil extraction, use in multiple industrial applications. Decades of soybean research, innovative farming methods, higher yielding resistant seed varieties have led increased crop yields. producers utilized enhanced processing methods produce nutritious high-quality meal extracted feed within food industry. Soybeans c...

Outbreaks of human illness caused by enteric pathogens such as Salmonella are increasingly linked to the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Knowledge on the factors affecting Salmonella proliferation on fresh produce therefore becomes increasingly important to safeguard public health. Previous experiments showed a limited impact of pre-harvest production practices on Salmonella proliferation...
