watercress is a leafy vegetable of the family brassicaceae that grows in and around water, it has a short shelf life (approximately seven days) and it is consumed raw or steamed. the objective of this work was to study the effect of packaging film and different storage temperature on the postharvest quality of watercress minimally processed. treatments were: packed with plain film (pd961ez, 31m...

Properly injected local anesthesia can be almost painless with attention to a few simple details that have been published in a previous Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery video1 (see Video 3, which demonstrates injection tips for “hole in one” local anesthesia, available in the Related Videos section of “The Safe Management of Anesthesia, Sedation, and Pain in Plastic Surgery” CME article in th...

Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) is a non-climacteric fruit that reaches its best eating quality when harvested ripe, decreasing thereafter during storage (CHIEN et al., 2007). As a new crop, there have been limited studies focused on extending the postharvest quality of pitaya fruit. The main postharvest problems of pitaya fruit are mechanical injury, chilling injury, decay, and water loss (NERD et...

The optimization design of the section morphology of large-span tunnels plays an important role for saving cost and improving the engineering stability. The flat ratio of tunnel which is as an important control index, its rationality is the key problem in the design of tunnels. Program with Python to set up the dynamic calculation model of a large-span tunnel planned to be constructed which can...

The aerial transport of tiny arthropods including wing-less species has been well documented. The initiation of aerial dispersal in most instances is not a passive phenomenon, but involves identifiable behaviors in response to specific stimuli. Here we describe a construction of wind tunnel suitable for close-up observation of micro-arthropods behavior under various conditions. The tunnel was m...

high speed wind tunnels are widely used in the study of fluid flow behavior around various objects. the air flow in the starting step of supersonic wind tunnels is transient including strong shock waves caused by the interaction of the tunnel main stream and the boundary layer at walls. to arrive in running step, the tunnel must be designed so as these waves leave immediately the test section. ...

Open wound managment after perforated appendicitis has been a common practice but recently, primary closure has been advocated to reduce costs and morbidity. For comparing delayed closures against primary closure with vacuum drainage, a randomized experimental study was designed. in Kerman. Sixty patients with perforated appendicitis divided randomly in two groups and evaluated on day of discha...
