This study used a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer matrix, pine-wood flour (PWF) and walnut-shell (WSF) to produce wood-plastic composite (WPC) boards. The PWF WSF filler amounts were adjusted 20%, 30%, 40% by weight. Some of the mechanical properties produced boards comparatively investigated, such as flexural strength, modulus, deformation at break, tensile elongation break. Flexural ...

C first walnut trees and orchards were planted during the Spanish mission period (around 1800), using seedlings of early varieties of Persian or English walnut (Juglans regia) chosen for their superior growth and nut quality. Since the 1890s, walnut trees in California have been propagated by grafting or budding desired cultivars onto rootstocks chosen for their adaptation to different physical...

Laboratory testing was conducted with a nutshell filter to determine the oil-removal performance on the basis of the flux rate, media type, media size, water salinity, and oil concentration. The goal was to determine the operating parameters that allowed <5 parts per million by volume (ppmv) of oil at the outlet, which is the normal operating point for this technology in producedwater treatment...

SCOPE English walnut (Juglans regia) belongs to the most important allergenic tree nuts. Co-sensitization with birch (Betula verrucosa) pollen has been reported. We aimed to identify a walnut allergen homologous to the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1. METHODS AND RESULTS A cDNA encoding a Bet v 1-homologous allergen (Jug r 5) in walnut kernels was cloned by RT-PCR. Jug r 5 was expressed i...

Walnut (Juglans regia) populations are considered a valuable genetic resource for variability conservation and walnut cultivar improvement. In the current study, two selections from Central Greece, “FM3” “FM6”, were evaluated their characteristics to determine perspective as new cultivars. Their main phenological pomological assessed according IPGR (1994) UPOV-TG/125/6 (1999) criteria 10 consec...
