in order to evaluate of morphological, physiological and biochemical traits, related to drought tolerance, an experiment was carried out in field condition. in this study two commercial cultivars (mcc361, mcc358), three kabuli and three deci type of tolerant genotypes (mcc392, mcc537, mcc696, mcc873, mcc870, mcc10,) and three kabuli and three deci type of susceptible genotypes (mcc759, mcc588, ...

background ochratoxin a (ota) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by fungi belonging to aspergillus and penicillium genera. the production of ota is influenced by environmental conditions and nutritional requirements. the postharvest application of bunches of table grape fruit (tgf), with water activity of 0.8 aw, was highly effective for controlling ota contamination in vitro and in vivo ...

Moisture distributions in spaghettis prepared at a maximum temperature of 50, 70, or 85 °C, designated as LT-, HT-, or VHT-spaghetti, respectively, and cooked to the average moisture content of 1.71 ± 0.01 kg-H2O/kg-d.m., were measured. The moisture contents near the surface and at the center of the LT-spaghetti were lower and higher, respectively, than those of HT- and VHT-spaghetti.

Monitoring temperature of aquatic waters is of great importance, with modelled, satellite and in-situ data providing invaluable insights into long-term environmental change. However, there is often a lack of depth-resolved temperature measurements. Recreational dive computers routinely record temperature and depth, so could provide an alternate and highly novel source of oceanographic informati...

Electronic tracking tags have revolutionized our understanding of broad-scale movements and habitat use of highly mobile marine animals, but a large gap in our knowledge still remains for a wide range of small species. Here, we report the extraordinary transequatorial postbreeding migrations of a small seabird, the sooty shearwater, obtained with miniature archival tags that log data for estima...

We present diving data for four whale sharks in relation to a predictable food pulse (reef fish spawn) and an analysis of the longest continuous fine-resolution diving record for a planktivorous shark. Fine-resolution pressure data from a recovered pop-up archival satellite tag deployed for 206 days on a whale shark were analysed using the fast Fourier Transform method for frequency domain anal...
