The relationship of leaf and fruit transpiration rates with the incidence of spongy tissue in mango cultivars Dashahari (free from spongy tissue) and Alphonso (susceptible to spongy tissue) was investigated. Leaf transpiration rates were similar in both the cultivars, however the fruit transpiration rates were significantly higher in cv. Dashahari. Artificially induced variations in fruit trans...

Transpiration is the process by which fresh fruits and vegetables lose moisture. This process includes the transport of moisture through the skin of the commodity, the evaporation of this moisture from the commodity surface and the convective mass transport of the moisture to the surroundings. This paper discusses the pertinent factors which affect transpiration and identifies mathematical mode...

Many studies have reported tree growth reduction in forests with pedestrian trampling, implying a reduction of tree transpiration in such forests. We undertook observations of tree transpiration based on the heat-pulse method in a forest (Lithocarpus edulis) with pedestrian trampling. We prepared trampled and control plots in the forest. Tree transpiration in the trampled plot was reduced compa...

In large trees, the daily onset of transpiration causes water to be withdrawn from internal storage compartments, resulting in lags between changes in transpiration and sap flow at the base of the tree. We measured time courses of sap flow, hydraulic resistance, plant water potential and stomatal resistance in co-occurring tropical forest canopy trees with trunk diameters ranging from 0.34-0.98...

This study is focused on twoand three-dimensional incompressible flow past a circular cylinder for Reynolds number Re 6 1000. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the suppression of unsteadiness for this flow we determine the nonlinear optimal open-loop control driven by surface-normal wall transpiration. The spanwise-constant wall transpiration is allowed to oscillate in time, althou...

in this paper, a production inventory model is developed for the business enterprise which consists of three wings. the first wing is for manufacturing new items, the second wing is for collecting the returned items, while third wing is for remanufacturing the returned item. in this model we consider the fact that the storage item is deteriorated during storage periods and salvage value is inco...

cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women in malaysia. the objective of this study was to estimate the effect of explanatory variables on survival time of cervical cancer patients receiving treatment at a hospital in malaysia.in this retrospective record review study, cervical cancer data obtained from hospital universitisains malaysia (husm) was analysed. the data comprises o...

Transpiration is a significant component of the hydrologic cycle and its accurate quantification is critical for modelling, industry, and policy decisions. Sap flow sensors provide a low cost and practical method to measure transpiration. Various methods to measure sap flow are available and a popular family of methods is known as heat pulse velocity (HPV). Theory on thermal conductance and con...

Estimates of transpiration are often needed for hydrological management in wetlands. A new and simple method, using a portable steady-state porometer, is presented for estimating transpiration in three aquatic emergent macrophytes (reed, cut-sedge, and cattail). The method was established on the basis of the relationships between transpiration, solar radiation, relative humidity and air tempera...
