The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the application two pre-harvest elicitors—methyl-jasmonate (MeJ) and benzothiadiazole (BTH)—to Monastrell grapes, at maturation stages, affected composition structure skin cell walls (SCWs) differing extents. This conducted in 2016–2017 on Vitis vinifera L. cv Monastrell. A water suspension MeJ BTH, a mixture both, applied veraison mid-ripening. ber...

In the standard scenario, the electroweak phase transition is a first order phase transition which completes by the nucleation of critical bubbles. Recently, there has been speculation that the standard picture of the electroweak phase transition is incorrect. Instead, it has been proposed that throughout the phase transition appreciable amounts of both broken and unbroken phases of SU(2) coexi...

This paper examines an approach to speaker adaptation called speaker cluster weighting (SCW) for rapid adaptation in the Jupiter weather information system. SCW extends the ideas of previous speaker cluster techniques by allowing the speaker cluster models (learned from training data) to be adaptively weighted to match the current speaker. We explore strategies for automatic speaker clustering ...

in order to evaluate the effects of sub soiling and irrigation level treatments on yield of sugar beet and wheat in rotation, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station ofwest azerbaijanprovince. the plots were arranged as a strip plot experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications. horizontal plot (sub soiling treatment) consisted of sub soiling depth ...

background: electrocoagulation is a technique involving the electrolytic addition of coagulating metal ions directly from sacrificial electrodes. these ions coagulate with turbidity agents in the water, in a similar manner to the addition of coagulating chemicals such as alum and ferric chloride, and allow the easier removal of the pollutants. purpose of this study was to conduct experimental i...

Major waterborne (enteric) pathogens are relatively well understood and treatment controls are effective when well managed. However, water-based, saprozoic pathogens that grow within engineered water systems (primarily within biofilms/sediments) cannot be controlled by water treatment alone prior to entry into water distribution and other engineered water systems. Growth within biofilms or as i...

Nutrients were extracted from corn stalks, peanut shells, de-oiled peanut meal, chicken manure, and sewage sludge by a subcritical water (SCW) hydrolysis reaction. Compared with the other feedstock, the aqueous phases extracted from de-oiled peanut meal showed the highest watersoluble organic carbon, amino acid, total nitrogen, and phosphorus contents. The effects of solution pH, final hydrothe...
