A simple and rapid microextraction procedure based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) was developed for the extraction and analysis of 2-phenylethanol in rose water sample. In the proposed approach, carbon tetrachloride and ethanol were used as extraction and dispersive solvents, respectively. Some important pa...

A study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (Lilium longifolium L. cv. Mero Star). In production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. Increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...

We show that algebraically shifting a pair of simplicial complexes weakly increases their relative homology Betti numbers in every dimension. More precisely, let ∆(K) denote the algebraically shifted complex of simplicial complex K, and let β j (K, L) = dim k H j (K, L; k) be the dimension of the jth reduced relative homology group over a field k of a pair of simplicial complexes L ⊆ K. Then β ...
