The quality of such processed agrifood products as dehydrated apple is related to the and variety fresh harvested connected with wastage reduction throughout supply chain. For this purpose, cold-storage management important avoid or mitigate decay stored in refrigerated systems. This paper explores benefits a two-stage stochastic programming model for product through selection producers cold st...

Cell stores provide a relational-like, tabular level of abstraction to business users while leveraging recent database technologies, such as key-value stores and document stores. This allows to scale up and out the efficient storage and retrieval of highly dimensional data. Cells are the primary citizens and exist in different forms, which can be explained with an analogy to the state of matter...

Arctic breeding songbirds migrate early in the spring and can face winter environments requiring cold endurance throughout their journey. One such species, snow bunting ( Plectrophenax nivalis ), is known for its significant thermogenic capacity. Empirical studies suggest that buntings indeed maintain acclimatization into migratory phenotypes when kept captive on wintering grounds. This capacit...

iron is a pro-oxidant cofactor that may be linked to atherosclerosis progression. free iron catalyzes the generation of free radicals and free radicals promote the oxidation of lipids. reduction of body iron stores secondary to blood donation has been hypothesized to reduce lipid peroxidation. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between blood donation and antioxidant enzymes a...

Polar, especially Antarctic, oceans host ectothermic fish and invertebrates characterized by low-to-moderate levels of motor activity; maximum performance is reduced compared with that in warmer habitats. The present review attempts to identify the trade-offs involved in adaptation to cold in the light of progress in the physiology of thermal tolerance. Recent evidence suggests that oxygen limi...

Abstract. The continued warming of the Arctic could release vast stores carbon into atmosphere from high-latitude ecosystems, especially thawing permafrost. Increasing uptake dioxide (CO2) by vegetation during longer growing seasons may partially offset such carbon. However, evidence significant net annual site-level observations and model simulations across tundra ecosystems has been inconclus...

Volume 22, Issue 7 April 2007 1 During the peak of cough and cold season millions, of Americans find themselves searching through the cold medicine section of the neighborhood store in an attempt to relieve nasal stuffiness and sinus pressure. Until recently, the choice included with the ingredient pseudoephedrine found in over 700 cough and cold remedies. Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed ® ) , phenylp...
