'Anjou' pears were sprayed with 2 concentrations of
CaCl₂ during fruit development and harvested at 70 N flesh
firmness. Pears were held at -1.1°, 5°, 10°, or 20°C for up to
100 days then ripened at 20°C for 11 days. ...
Dramatic and ongoing changes pervading the Arctic and subarctic seas over
recent decades have motivated this effort to track and better understand hydrographic
variability using chemical tracers. Particular emphasis ha ...
This study examined relationships between pre-tested early literacy skills and post-tested reading achievement in 52 kindergarten and 39 first-grade children. An archival data set was available for statistical analysis. ...

The electromagnetic field produced by a line current oriented
parallel to the edges of two perfectly conducting parallel half
planes is considered. Maxwell's equations reduce to a single wave
equation involving only o ...
Plate boundaries are commonly regions of complex, diffuse deformation with
the motion across the boundary accommodated by numerous structural systems, rather
than being narrow, discrete zones of deformation. One such b ...
The diffuse irradiance of slopes relative to the diffuse irradiance of a horizontal surface is calculated by
integrating the mean radiance distributions of cloudless skies in Britain for a wide range of solar elevations ...
Zahora, Andrew R.; Morrell, Jeffrey J.(Society of Wood Science and Technology, 1989)
The influence of moisture content (MC) and conventional preservative treatment on methylisothiocyanate (MIT) sorption and diffusion were investigated in Douglas-fir wood. In wood at 0% MC, the ratio of equilibrium MIT ad ...
A Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) is an amorphous solid with thickness greater than 1mm.
Material properties of BMG, like twice the strength of regular steels and excellent
corrosion resistance, make them ideal materials for ...
Diffusion bonding has been widely used within microlamination architectures for the
fabrication of Micro Energy and Chemical Systems (MECS). MECS are microsystems
with the ability to process bulk amounts of fluid withi ...
The diffusion of livestock guarding dogs into American agriculture provides an example of a developed nation adopting a peasant husbandry practice. Guarding dogs, associated with transhumant husbandry, have been used to ...
Shallow land burial in vadose zone sediment at the Hanford Site in Washington is being
considered for the disposal of Category 3 low-level waste. A series of column
experiments were conducted to evaluate and model the ...
