Enrichment of zeolite and sponge as ethylene absorbent with potassium permanganate was theidea of this study to provide an efficient way to scavenge ethylene during storage period ofthree Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Shiraz’, ‘Avalanche’, and ‘After-party’ cut flowers. A preliminaryexperiment revealed that two mL of potassium permanganate solution (1 mM) was enough toenrich two gra...

Tomato seedlings (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv Vendor) were grown hydroponically with their root systems maintained at a constant temperature for a 2-week period commencing with the appearance of the first true leaf. Based on fresh and dry weight and leaf area, the optimal root-zone temperature for seedling growth was 30 degrees C. The carbon exchange rate of the leaves was also found to in...

In February 2006, a disastrous rockslide-debris avalanche occurred in tropical mountain terrain, on Leyte Island, Central Philippines. Over 1100 people perished when the village of Guinsaugon was overwhelmed directly in the path of the landslide. The landslide was initiated by the failure of a 450 m high rock slope within the damage zone of the Philippine Fault where the rock mass consisted of ...

In this work we use the radiation hydrodynamic code TRAMP to perform a twodimensional axially symmetric model of the layered disc. Using this model we follow the accumulation of mass in the dead zone due to the radially varying accretion rate. We found a new type of instability which causes the dead zone to split into rings. This ”ring instability” works due to the positive feedback between the...

A section from the southern (Austro-Alpine Northern Calcareous Alps) margin of the Penninic Ocean in the NW Tethys realm of Late Campanian age is investigated stratigraphically. Plankton foraminifer and nannofossil biostratigraphy designate the presence of the Globotruncana ventricosa Zone and the Radotruncana (Globotruncanita) calcarata Zone, and standard nannofossil zones CC21-UC15cTP and CC2...

In this paper, we examine the avalanche characteristics of private-key block ciphers constructed using a DES-like architecture. Avalanche is a desirable cryptographic property that is necessary to ensure that a small diierence between two plaintexts results in a seemingly random diierence between the two corresponding ciphertexts. In order to examine the behaviour of DES-like ciphers in relatio...

Numerical modeling of correlated single-electron tunneling in uniform two-dimensional arrays of small conducting islands separated by tunnel junctions shows the possibility of soliton-antisoliton avalanches. Though the time duration of any avalanche and the total charge, DQ5ne , transferred across the array during the avalanche are always finite in arrays with length N larger than certain criti...
