Chilgoza (Pinus gerardiana) is one of the pine nuts among six species found in India which produce edible nuts. Because of the traditional handling of this nut by tribals, it lasts only for few weeks in the market. Studies were undertaken to compare the solar drying modes for drying of this nut and screen out the suitable packaging material for its storage. Extracted nuts were dried under three...

the spray characteristics of the fuel greatly influence emissions from diesel engines. spray development plays a vital role in improving the combustion and emission characteristics of fuel because it directly affects the air- fuel mixture formation. the spray characteristics of fuel mainly depend on fuel injection process, fuel density, fuel viscosity, ambient pressure and temperature. among th...

piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility and flow properties, poor dissolution and poor wetting. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of piroxicam. microparticles containing piroxicam were produced by spray drying, using isopropyl alcohol and water in the ratio of 40:60 v/v as solvent system, and spray chilling technology by melting the ...

This study offers evidence for an environmental effect on languages while relying on continuous linguistic and continuous ecological variables. Evidence is presented for a positive association between the typical ambient humidity of a language's native locale and that language's degree of reliance on vowels. The vowel-usage rates of over 4000 language varieties were obtained, and several method...

Abstract Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important grain legumes in world, but its current and future production threatened due to increased incidence drought heat stress. To address this challenge, an integrated crop improvement strategy encompassing breeding, genomics, physiology agronomy required. Here, we review physiological traits known confer adaptation chickpea identify...
