It is occasionally difficult to distinguish between a self-inflicted bruise and true bruise. The important point of diagnosis is a good, thorough history taking and detailed examination of the affected area.

Currently, blueberry bruising is evaluated by either human visual/tactile inspection or firmness measurement instruments. These methods are destructive, time-consuming, and subjective. The goal of this paper was to develop a non-destructive approach for blueberry bruising detection and quantification. Experiments were conducted on 300 samples of southern highbush blueberry (Camellia, Rebel, and...

This paper proposes an APPLE scheme that aims at providing absolute and proportional throughput guarantees, and maximizing system throughput simultaneously for wireless LANs with homogeneous and heterogenous traffic. We formulate our objectives as an optimization problem, present its exact and approximate solutions, and prove the existence and uniqueness of the approximate solution. Simulations...

Highlights A robotic mushroom picking mechanism was developed, including positioning, picking, and stipe trimming. The end-effector designed based on a bending motion around the stipe-substrate joint. overall success rate of developed reached 91.4%. Acting time air pressure for suction cup were studied in bruise level tests. Abstract . Button (Agaricus bisporus) harvesting mainly relies costly ...

Abstract Effect of coating with calcium nitrate in three concentrations (0.0, 0.5, and 1.0 wt%) on chemical mechanical properties, impact behaviour two apple cultivars (Golden Delicious (GD) Red (RD)) during time (0, 2, 4 months) was studied. Moisture content, pH, titratable acidity, °Brix, organoleptic modulus elasticity (E), yield stress, strain, toughness were measured. The effect loads dete...

abstract nanoparticles (nps) are increasingly recognized as their usage in biological applications including nanomedicine and food safety. purpose of this study was study on comparison of antibacterial effect of zno nanoparticles in apple juice at 25 and 4 ° c. the present study investigated the antibacterial activity of zno was tested against listeria monocytogenes, escherichia coli, staphyloc...

the case of a bruise on the side of the forehead, cheeks, or chin, even in at-risk infants. It is not uncommon for the truth (that they are really finger bruises) to be admitted after a Care Order has been obtained after more severe injury. In older children, by contrast, bruises, even those resembling finger tip bruises, are common and can be accepted as accidental, as shown by Keen' in his ca...

The purpose of the present work was to develop an innovative food product with nutritional properties as well as appealing organoleptic qualities. The product, a jam, was prepared with the beans’ cooking water combined with fresh apple or carrot, without the addition of any conservatives. Three different jams were produced: bean and carrot, bean and apple and bean, apple and cinnamon. The devel...
