Genetic diversity in apple tree cultivars established in the Sierra de Arteaga, Coahuila, Mexico
Apple production in the Sierra de Arteaga, Coahuila is mainly based on the Golden Delicious cultivar. Production based on only a few cultivars represents a genetic risk, because if they are susceptible to a pest, disease or climate change much of this ...

Sugar units, not chilling units, control endodormancy duration in plants – potato tuber as a case study [PDF]
Summary Endodormancy (ED) is a crucial stage in the life cycle of many perennial plants, regulated by genetic and environmental factors. Chilling units, growth regulators, and nutrient supply are considered inducers of ED release, but the mechanism governing ED duration is poorly understood.

Parametric investigation of a chilled water district cooling unit using mono and hybrid nanofluids [PDF]
AbstractThis study presents a novel parametric investigation into the performance of a district cooling system using mono (Al2O3 and TiO2) and hybrid (Al2O3–TiO2) nanoparticles in the base fluids of water and ethylene–glycol water (EG-water) at a 20:80 ratio.

Evaluation of olive flowering at low latitude sites in Argentina using a chilling requirement model
Olive production has expanded significantly from the Mediterranean Basin into the New World over the last two decades. In some cases, cultivars of European origin have been introduced at a large commercial scale with little previous evaluation of ...

STUDIES ON REST INTENSITY AND CHILLING REQUIREMENTS FOR LE- CONTE PEAR CULTIVAR [PDF]
The intensity of the rest period in relation to environmental temperature fluctuating for Le-Conte pear cultivar was measured under laboratory conditions. Percent budbreak, accumulate chill units, ABA, GA3 and IAA contents of buds were determined.

Annual Chill Unit Accumulation in the U.S.
The effectiveness of different temperatures in overcoming the winter-time physiologic state of dormancy (rest) of temperate zone fruit plants has been described (2, 3, 6). Through controlled refrigeration experiments, temperatures between 3°C and 10°C were determined to be the most chill efficient, temperatures above 15°C reversed the chilling process,

Calculating Chilling Hours and Chill Units from Daily Maximum and Minimum Temperature Observations [PDF]
Models that require hourly weather data as inputs are being constructed to simulate development of insects and plants. Most agricultural and, climatological weather observation stations, however, do not include the capability to record hourly data. Thus, methods, for simulating hourly observations need to be developed if the wealth of data collected in

A hybrid dynamic modeling of active chilled beam terminal unit [PDF]
Abstract This paper proposes a hybrid dynamic model of active chilled beam (ACB) terminal unit. The model encapsulates mechanical and thermal aspects of the confined air jet and the cooling coil contained in the terminal unit and could be divided into two sub-models respectively.
