this experiment was carried out to increase the shelf life and maintaining the quality of mango (mangifera indica) fruits. there were two factors. factor a: postharvest treatments with six levels (1. untreated (control), 2. washing with chlorine, 3. dipping (5 minutes) in calcium chloride (cacl2), 4. dipping (5 minutes) in bavistin and rinse in clean water, 5. hot water treatment and 6. tap wat...

According to construction scheme of some weak surrounding rock large span double and multi-arch tunnel works, finite element value simulation method is adopted to research weak surrounding rock deformation characteristic, anchor bolt mechanics characteristic, preliminary support and secondary lining structure mechanical characteristics, etc, and the research result shows that: repeatedly distur...

Bagging of female inflorescence following pollination has recently received growers attention. Although this process occurs early in the season but affects fruit quality, yield, and marketability. Date palm growers have used to use grocery paper bags for this bagging process. Since inflorescence bagging causes what is called the greenhouse effect, it was very important to investigate the effect...

In this paper by using numerical evaluation the effect of balancing drupes of water hammer on tunnels lining is considered. In case of not arrangment of these reservoirs, the tunnel lining will be damaged of cyclic powers of water hammer. In this research, function of balancing reservoir of water hammer on cover of tunnels to the barriers’ turbine is simulated by numerical methods and Plaxis 3D...

The load entering from the ground surrounding on the tunnel’s lining is one of the effective parameters in the designation of a tunnel. The amount of this parameter, which is called Rock load in a rocky environment, depends on several factors such as the overburden thickness, geological and geomechanical conditions and the depth of tunnel. In the present study, the amount of rock load for the L...

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release has been popularized since 1989 when Okutsu described it for the first time. Several surgeons have followed his principles and described their own techniques. These were developed in an attempt to decrease the well-known complications related to the open technique. Single and 2-portal techniques have been described. Indications include patients with moderate Car...

Abstract—This paper reports an experimental investigation of the energy spectrum of turbulent velocity fields at low Reynolds numbers (Rλ) in grid turbulence. Hot wire measurements are carried out in grid turbulence with subjected to a 1.36:1 contraction of the wind tunnel. Three different grids are used: (i) large square perforated grid (mesh size 43.75 mm), (ii) small square perforated grid (...

Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) form a family of enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of cyclic adenosine and guanosine monophosphate (cAMP and cGMP). PDE10A is a member of this family that is almost exclusively expressed in the striatum. Increasing cAMP/cGMP levels via inhibition of PDE10A is under consideration as a novel therapeutic avenue in the discovery of antipsychotics. Papaverine has been used...

A Ponta da Praia é uma região de Santos afetada pela emissão particulados MP10 pelos terminais portuários granel sólido vegetal. No período abril a agosto 2020 houve crescimento das concentrações em relação ao mesmo 2019. Não com mudanças meteorológicas, nem frequência inversões térmicas, mas correspondência o do embarque grãos soja. 2020, redução MP2,5, dióxido enxofre e óxidos nitrogênio, pos...
