The radish (Raphanus sativus) of the Brassicaceae family domesticated in Europe during pre-Roman times is an edible root vegetable. It is grown and consumed throughout the world. Radish has numerous varieties, sizes, color and duration of cultivation time. It is annual herb, 20-100 cm long, with a rosette of lyrate, pinnatified leaves arising from a short stem. All the species of Raphanus inclu...

20 THE AVAILABLE FECAL OCCULT BLOOD TESTS— THE GUAIAC TESTS (GT) In 1985, Simon published an excellent review of FOBT testing for colorectal cancer (11). He stated that the concept of occult blood detection is generally credited to Van Deen, who in 1864 used gum guaiac, as an indicator reagent. Boas was the first to demonstrate its value for the detection of bowel malignancy (12) and Greegor wa...

The target article is an attempt to make some progress on the problem of color realism. Are objects colored? And what is the nature of the color properties? We defend the view that physical objects (for instance, tomatoes, radishes, and rubies) are colored, and that colors are physical properties, specifically, types of reflectance. This is probably a minority opinion, at least among color scie...

Introduction Organic isothiocyanates (R-N=C=S) and glucosinolates, their biosynthetic precursors in plants, are attracting increasing attention as chemical and dietary protectors against cancer. More than 20 natural and synthetic isothiocyanates and several glucosinolates have been shown to block chemical carcinogenesis in animal models (see reviews in [1,2]); moreover, these substances are wid...

Irrigation water quality became worst in terms of increasing its salinity and causes severe problems in many cultivated crop species, resulting in lower yield. In addition, the scarcity of irrigation water due to overuse or runoff is another limitation for increasing food and feed production. Saline water treatment technology offers potential solutions; however this technology is yet expensive ...
