At first blush, it seems that the situation is paradoxical: if he is telling the truth, then he is not; if he is not telling the truth, then he is. In fact, that first blush lasted for almost two thousand years. First formulated by the ancient Greeks, the puzzl...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the fruit development, quality at harvest and shelf-life changes three apricot cultivars—‘Spring Blush’, ‘Robada’, ‘Kioto’—produced in conditions Southwest Iberian Peninsula. Pomological characteristics global (colour, firmness, total soluble solids, acidity) were weekly evaluated during growth ripening. Apricots harvested commercial ripening, six day...

This study investigated the remedial value of blushing in the context of clear-cut predicaments. Besides testing the effects of displaying a blush on a neutral expression, we investigated whether blushing increased the remedial properties of shameful and embarrassed expressions. After reading a vignette describing either a transgression (Experiment 1; N = 66) or a mishap (Experiment 2; N = 62),...

Injection molding is one of the most important processes for mass production plastic parts. In recent years, many researchers have focused on predicting occurrence and intensity defects in injected molded parts, as well optimization process parameters to avoid such defects. One frequent manufactured parts blush, which usually occurs around gate location. this study, identify effective blush for...

Fruit productivity and quality of eight years peach and nectarine cultivars (Rich Lady, Ryan Sun, Ruby Diamond and Venus) grafted onto Cadaman-Avimag, Viking, Atlas, GxN 15, GF 677, MRS 2/5 and Nemaguard (control) rootstocks were evaluated. A Split Plot experimental design was used, with each rootstock/scion combination as an experimental unit. Total yield, fruit size distribution, number of fr...
