Carbohydrate storage enables plants to tolerate both seasonally unfavourable conditions and recover from disturbance. Although short-term changes in storage levels due to disturbance are fairly well known, less is known about long-term changes in storage levels, especially in response to cessation of repeated disturbance. Additionally, whereas it is presumably the total amount (pool) of storage...

This in vitro study evaluated the effects of simplified ethanol-wet bonding technique on dentin bonding durability of two etchand-rinse adhesives to bovine dentin. Sixteen freshly extracted bovine incisors were divided into four groups according to bonding technique (water-wet or ethanol-wet bonding) and adhesive (Single Bond 2 or Prime & Bond NT). After etching and rinsing, dentin surfaces wer...

PURPOSE Fixation and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) storage are frequently used before studies of the morphological, biochemical, and optical properties of the human lens begin. It is assumed that this does not alter the properties being examined. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of fixation and PBS storage on the human lens wet weight. METHODS Human donor lenses wer...

Rice is harvested in the Mid-South at moisture contents (MCs) typically ranging from 13% to 22% (wet basis). Because these MCs are greater than those safe for long-term storage, rice is dried within a fairly short period after harvest to 12% to 13% MC before being placed in storage. Once dried, “processing” of rough rice into milled rice takes place throughout the year and consists of several o...

introduction: fish salting is a traditional method of processing in most countries including iran. there are different methods of salting which can be used for producing different salted products. there is variation in the amount of salt used in the salting process depending on the context of use.salting was done simultaneously with salt penetration into the muscles of fish and water dripping o...

Extremely high accumulation of allxiin, a phytoalexin derived from garlic, was observed in necrotic tissue areas after long-term storage. The allixin produced recrystallized on the surface of the garlic clove. The amount of allixin produced in raw garlic with necrotic tissue areas was 1400 ng/mg wet garlic, which exceeds the minimum exhibitory concentration of allixin. After approximately 2 yea...
