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...

An experiment set-up is used to study wall deposition rate of particles on a rough surface in a turbulent channel flow. Deposition velocities for three classes of particles, namely, spherical glass particles, irregular shape polymer particles, and fibrous silicon particles are studied. The particle concentration at the test section was measured with the aid of an isokinetic probe in conjunction...

The authors comment on the Lanz classification of the median nerve ramification at wrist level. The authors outline the importance of having very good knowledge of this classification for hand surgeons, plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons, in order to prevent iatrogenic lesions of the median nerve branches at wrist level. The regional anatomy is of utmost importance for carpal tunnel syndrome su...

The deformation control effect of loess tunnel composite foundation plays an important role in optimization design and reinforcement evaluation. Systematically evaluate the adaptability jet grouting pile shallow collapsible tunnel. Taking buried section Fujiyao Tunnel with a depth 20 m as example, using MIDAS finite element numerical simulation software, during construction settlement after are...

This paper presents a computational homogenization shakedown analysis of periodic perforated materials with von Mises matrices. The plastic behaviors the under cyclic macroscopic loads are studied by means kinematic theorem and method. micro-fields approximated edge-based smoothed finite element resulting large-scale optimization problem is efficiently solved using conic solver, enabling large ...

Tomato is one of the main vegetable crops in Kuwait with a total greenhouse production of 39,218.3 tonnes and with a value of $ 9.58 million in 2004. Because of the country’s harsh climate, scarce water resources and poor-quality land resources, protected agriculture has a significant role in Kuwait’s agricultural development. Tomato is grown in 25% of total area under greenhouse crops and it p...
