ABSTRACT Citrus sudden death (CSD), a new disease of unknown etiology that affects sweet orange grafted on Rangpur lime, was visually monitored for 14 months in 41 groves in Brazil. Ordinary runs analysis of CSD-symptomatic trees indicated a departure from randomness of symptomatic trees status among immediately adjacent trees mainly within rows. The binomial index of dispersion (D) and the int...

The chemical compounds of kaffir lime leaves oleoresin and the preservative effects of kaffir lime leaves oleoresin incorporation on cassava starch-based edible coatings for fresh beef during 14 days refrigerated storage were investigated to determine their ability to extend beef shelf life. Beef characteristic was determined based on microbiological (Total Plate Count/ TPC), chemical (Total Vo...

Lime sludge, an inert material mostly composed of calcium carbonate, is the result of softening hard water before distribution as drinking water. A large city such as Des Moines, Iowa, produces about 32 000 tons of lime sludge (dry-weight basis) annually. This is about half of the lime sludge produced in Iowa per year in eight different cities, and these cities currently have 371 800 tons (dry-...

In this study, we identify and characterize a novel transmembrane adaptor protein, designated Lck-interacting membrane protein (LIME), as a binding partner of the Lck Src homology (SH)2 domain. LIME possesses a short extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail containing five tyrosine-based motifs. The protein is primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells and lung. Inte...

It has been suggested that raising soil pH through liming could reduce the impact of whitegrub on crop yield in the treated soil. To test this hypothesis, whitegrub incidence was monitored in a trial designed to examine the effects of various lime treatments on crop yields of varieties N16 and N12. Lime was applied at two rates (5 and 10 t/ha) and in combination with gypsum at 5 t/ha each. Resu...

Liming of diffusers with milk of lime is warranted from a corrosion point of view. It can however cause both physical and chemical problems. The use of calcium saccharate, prepared from lime and mixed juice, as an alternative to milk of lime is suggested and the results from preliminary tests are discussed. The main objective is to investigate whether calcium saccharate could overcome some of t...
