influences on viability and germination of seeds have been studied intensively for many years, particularly for the numer-ous commercially important agricultural, ornamental, and timber species. high germinating seed lots may differ substantially in field emergence when sown at the same time in the same field, and/or may differ in performance after storage in the same environment or transport t...

We propose a novel personal identification method, named Thermal-ID, which utilizes human body temperature as a source of identifying information. Thermal-ID is expressed by the temperature difference generated by partially covering the surface of the body with thermal barrier material (e.g., cutout urethane foam-coated aluminum foil). The aim is to positively identify a subject with minimal di...

Sintesis nanokomposit Fe3O4/TiO2 sebagai fotokatalis yang dapat diambil kembali dalam fotoreduksi limbah ion Ag(I) telah dilakukan. diawali dengan sintesis magnetit (Fe3O4) melalui kopresipitasi dan sonikasi. Pelapisan TiO2 dilakukan proses sol-gel penambahan benih atau seed degusa, diikuti perlakuan termal pada suhu 500 °C. Hasil dikarakterisasi fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ...

a study was undertaken to determine the effects of different biofertilizers on growth and seed barley, bahman cultivar in iran. the trial was laid out in rcbd with split plot arrangement having three replications during 2011-12 and at boroujerd, iran. treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (nitroksin, nitrokara and supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (phosphate barvar2, bi...

The aim of this study was to establish the most efficient extraction conditions of betanin and to evaluate the termal stability of this red pigment in aqueous solution. The extraction of betanin from red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) was carried out under different conditions, varying the extraction parameters such as time and solid to solvent ratio, in acidic aqueous medium. The yields of the extrac...

the water relations play a fundamental role in seed comprehension of biology. in order to describe the process of drying and the effect on water activity, which controls biological change in storage, a sound knowledge of the relationship between equilibrium moisture content (emc) and water activity/equilibrium relative humidity (erh) is essential. the relationship between the total moisture con...
