Okra farmers use inorganic fertilizers which are expensive, they result to water pollution, increases the soil acidity, affects nutrients availability and uptake as well reducing microbial activity. Organic manure improves physical, chemical biological properties, environmental friendly. However, have limited information on utilization of these organic sources growth yield, quality net economic...

The reliability of a software system is to a high degree determined by the reliability of the software components comprising the system [KriMat97]. For a software component to be reliable it must be able recover various exceptions or failures that may arise at run-time, i.e. it must be fault tolerant. Code for exception detection, handling, and signalling often amounts to a substantial portion ...

Mannitol is a major deterioration product of Leuconstoc mesenteroides bacterial metabolism of sucrose and fructose from both sugarcane and sugar beet. The effect of crystallization conditions on the mannitol partition coefficient (K(eff)) between impure sucrose syrup and crystal has been investigated in a batch laboratory crystallizer and a batch pilot plant-scale vacuum pan. Laboratory crystal...

Overall climatic effects on citrus fruit quality have been well-documented and are discussed by W. Reuther in his section on "Climate and Fruit Quality". These can be briefly summarized as higher sugar levels and lower acidity in humid areas with warm nights. Conversely, sugar levels tend to be lower and acidity higher in arid areas with cool nights. Such generalizations often vary when shorter...

During storage, sucrose solutions undergo a slow conversion into a 1:1 mixture of glucose and fructose, also called „invert sugar“. Each molecule of sucrose splits into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose (see fig. 1) at the same time consuming one molecule of water. This "sugar inversion" is enhanced by the presence of acids (contained in most beverages) and by elevated temper...

Four of five apple cultivars (Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, McIntosh, Macoun, and Melrose) inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 promoted growth of the bacterium in bruised tissue independent of the date of harvest (i.e., degree of apple ripening) or the source of the apple (i.e., tree-picked or dropped fruit). Apple harvest for this study began 4 September 1998 and ended 9 October, with ...

PURPOSE To identify the optimal combination of pharmacokinetic model and arterial input function (AIF) for quantitative analysis of blood perfusion in the patellar bone using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS This method design study used a random subset of five control subjects from an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved case-control ...
