Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are an essential food for the human diet and thus represent important source of biologically active substances. This study aimed at investigating content bioactive substances (total anthocyanin polyphenol contents chlorogenic acid) in seven potato varieties (Belana, Cecile, Magenta Love, Mozart, Talentine, Toscana, Violet Queen) with various flesh skin colors. To...

Sesame is a leading oilseed crop known for its quality edible oil and byproducts. Mutation breeding an effective means of creating new genetic variability as certain desirable traits like uniform maturity, non-shattering capsules etc., do not exist in nature..The present study aimed to isolate high yielding early mutants sesame on the basis relationship between governing yield earliness. Gamma-...

Abstract The best exposed Early Miocene (820 m. thick. ) shales and interbedded silty sandstones beds of the Pyawbwe Formation at Sakangyi- Thayat area,Magway Region are investigated geochemically by using Siemens SRS- X Ray 303 AS XRF Spectrometer. Major and some trace element concentrations have been determined to achieve their provenance, tectonic setting ,paleoweathering , paleoclimate and ...

The intrinsic and extrinsic traits of citrus fruits change throughout their developmental process, and, therefore, to ensure the highest quality, fruit must be harvested at an appropriate stage maturity. In a 2-year study, mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) cultivars (Kinnow Feutrell’s Early) grafted on rough lemon (C. jambheri Lush) rootstock were selected analyze effect harvest time physicoc...

In the past twenty years, companies in the aerospace industry experienced major transitions: mergers and acquisitions, and lean transformation initiatives. This thesis presents research about the relation of lean efforts and mergers and acquisitions. It is based on case studies of mergers and acquisitions undertaken by Boeing Company. In order to obtain supplementary research data, case studies...

The sutures of the skulls of vertebrates are generally open early in life and slowly close as maturity is attained. The assumption that all vertebrates follow this pattern of progressive sutural closure has been used to assess maturity in the fossil remains of non-avian dinosaurs. Here, we test this assumption in two members of the Extant Phylogenetic Bracket of the Dinosauria, the emu, Dromaiu...

BACKGROUND Studies on injuries and illnesses involving youth ski racers younger than 15 years are lacking in the literature. The aim of this study was prospectively to assess the incidence, prevalence, and severity of traumatic and overuse injuries, as well as illnesses of elite youth ski racers with regard to sex, biological maturity status, and relative age. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A prospecti...

Cardiovascular disease may begin early in adolescence. Platelets release factors contributing to vascular disease. Experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that hormonal transitions associated with sexual maturity differentially affect platelet aggregation and secretion in males and females. Platelets were collected from juvenile (2-3 mo) and sexually mature (adult; 5-6 mo) male and fem...
