chrysanthemum (dendranthema grandiflorum (ramat.) kitamura cv. pattriot) is one of the most important and marketable cut flowers in the world. however, a relatively limited vase life reduces its marketability. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of salicylic acid (sa) and citric acid (ca) in extending the vase life of chrysanthemum flowers. therefore, a factorial experiment based...

With 24-hour preservation of canine liver, SLS solution showed inferior animal survival to UW solution. The lactobionate, raffinose, glutathione, and hydroxyethyl starch in UW solution have been shown to be important for liver preservation. However, our results suggest that sucrose should not be substituted for raffinose for the preservation of livers. In contrast to the liver, SLS solution per...

[1] Formaldehyde (HCHO) measurements in snow and shallow firn at three Antarctic sites gave concentrations around 6 ppbw in surface snow and 1 ppbw and lower below 1–2 m depth. The variable concentration patterns in shallow snow and firn result from temperature-dependent uptake and release of HCHO in response to annual temperature cycles. Deeper concentrations are constant with depth, and appar...

This work was performed to improve the storage and transportation technology of gas hydrates in nonequilibrium conditions. At atmospheric pressure positive ambient temperature, they gradually dissociate into water. Simulation hydrate dissociation will determine optimal conditions for their storage, as well minimize loss. Thermodynamic parameters adiabatic processes forced preservation pre-coole...
