in order to evaluation of squash (cucurbita pepo) seed yield per fruit and its relations with other characteristics of fruit include: length, diameter, length: diameter ratio (fruit shape), flesh thickness, thousand seed weight and fruit weight, an experiment was conducted using 24 accessions of squash as a randomized complete-block design with three replications. morphological traits were eval...

This paper discusses the design considerations for low conversion ratio voltage regulation modules (VRM’s) for the next generation of microprocessors, focusing on the handling of large, high-slew-rate current transients. A converter topology which deploys an inductive clamp to handle the unloading transients, while operating at a modest switching frequency, low current ripple, and low power dis...

in this study the effects of plant growth regulators including; ga3 (0 and 50 mg/l) and ethephon (0 and 500 mg/l) were studied on the quality properties of two grape cultivars (perlette and yaghuti). at the harvest time, some physicochemical characteristics such as fruit cluster weight, fruit diameter, length, volume and l/d ratio, flesh firmness, fresh weight, ta, ph, tss and fruit color were ...

Mature-green tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were treated asymmetrically with 2 millimolar silver thiosulfate (STS) through a cut portion of the peduncle while still attached to the plant. One-half of the fruit received silver and remained green while the other half ripened normally and was silver-free (less than 0.01 parts per billion). Harvested mature-green fruit were also treat...

The influence of harvesting date on some physicochemical properties of nectarine (Prunus persica var. Red gold) fruit including fruit weight, pigment content, total carbohydrate, total phenol and antioxidant activity were studied. Fruits were harvested in four different stages; a) two weeks after fruit set, b) pit hardening, c) three weeks after pit hardening and 6 weeks after pit hardening. Re...

increasing product marketability and introduction of new cultivars for fresh consumption of apple is the world's most important breeding objectives. in this study, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the genotypes from cross between red spur and golab-e-kohanz apple cultivars were evaluated. a total of 19 traits including fruit attributes (firmness, fruit weight,...) and th...

Renewable energy sources are developed worldwide, owing to high oil prices and in order to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The objective of this research was to study the feasibility of biodiesel production from mountain almond (Prunus Scoparia) oil using ultrasonic system and optimization of the process using Artificial Bees Colony (ABC) Algorithm. The results showed that by increasing the mol...

Twelve introgressed oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) progenies of Nigerian dura x Deli dura were evaluated for bunch yield, yield attributes, bunch quality components and vegetative characters at the Malaysian Palm Oil Board Research Station, in Keratong, Pahang, Malaysia. Analysis of variance revealed significant to highly significant genotypic differences, indicating sufficient genetic variabilit...

This article reports the deliverables of experimental study on production a completely renewable biofuel from Manilkara zapota fruit and seed oil. It was attempted to synthesis ethyl ester oil using bioethanol synthesized decayed fruit. Bioethanol produced through fermentation fruit, waste skin, pulp with Saccharomyces cerevisiae then distilled at 72°C. The yield noted as 10.45% (v/w). 95.09% p...

two experiments were conducted to determine lysine (lys) requirements of two commercial strains, ross 308 and cobb 500, from 15 to 28d of age. basal diet was formulated to be adequate in all nutrients except for lys. incremental levels of supplemental lys were added to the basal diet generating six experimental treatments in a range from 0.60 to 1.20% digestible lys. birds were randomized acros...
