Freshly harvested tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) were pre-treated with 0, 50, and 100 µM prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) and then stored at 1 °C for 21 days to investigate the effect of Pro-Ca treatment on electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde (MDA), proline and total phenols contents, and activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in relation to chilling injury (CI).Treatment with Pr...

Since 2002, the GRACE satellite mission provides estimates of the Earth’s dynamic gravity field with unprecedented accuracy. Differences between monthly gravity fields contain a clear hydrological signal due to continental water storage changes. In order to evaluate GRACE results, the state-of-the-art WaterGAP Global Hydrological Model (WGHM) is applied to calculate terrestrial water storage ch...

Abstract Denitrification is a key process buffering the environmental impacts of agricultural nitrate loads but, at present, remains least understood and poorly quantified sink in nitrogen budgets watershed scale. The present work deals with comprehensive detailed analysis sources sinks Burana–Volano–Navigabile basin, southernmost portion Po River valley (Northern Italy), an intensively cultiva...

In this paper, the secure data storage in clouds for a new decentralized access is proposed. Concerns like data leakage are common and can influence the original data owners drastically. Encrypting every data over the cloud which is a huge collection of data is not economically feasible. Signature Generation Algorithm (SGA) is proposed to authenticate the data access from the cloud to ensure th...

Studies were carried out on the localization and mapping of gas stations in the urban area of São Carlos city, for an environmental diagnosis related to soil, surface water and underground water contamination resulting from likely leaking in fuel underground storage tanks. Considering that a provision of legal restriction makes it possible that most of public areas are not located in gas statio...

In cloud storage, client-side deduplication is widely used to reduce storage and communication costs. deduplication, if the server detects that user's outsourced data have been stored, then clients will not need reupload data. However, information on whether be uploaded can as a side-channel, which consequently exploited by adversaries compromise privacy. this paper, we propose new threat model...

This paper addresses the questions of acceptable upper limits for storage development and how best to deploy capacity in long-term planning built surface water river basins. Storage-yield curves are used establish sustainable pathways a basin under range environmental flow release scenarios. Optimal distribution at sub-basin level, which complies with an identified pathway, can also be estimate...

Liquid laboratory waste containing osmic acid and cacodylic acid was mixed with potter's clay or hydraulic cement. The clay-waste product was kneaded into blocks and baked in a klin (1,200-1,400 degrees C). The cement-waste product was allowed to harden into concrete blocks. Some of the baked clay blocks and concrete blocks were ground, and immersed in 1 N NaOH or 10% HCI solutions for 3-6 mont...
