Dormancy, flowering and sex expression in 20 olive cultivars (Olea europea L.) under Giza conditions

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013
Olive cultivars differed significantly concerning the number of buds per shoot, percentage of burst buds, and floral buds borne on one-year-old shoot. Time of flowering varied in the cultivars studied differently in two successive years of investigation.

Carboxylic‐Acid Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube‐Alkane‐Based Resistive Temperature Sensor for Cold Chain Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a reversible temperature sensor with high switching ratio, ∼103. The device is fabricated using PET‐ITO and carbon nanotube dispersions in alkane. Considering its application in cold chain logistics, a proof‐of‐concept with LED is showcased. Thus, a temperature drop below the threshold temperature (crystallization temperature of the

The Differentiation of Chilling Requirements of Kiwifruit Cultivars Related to Ploidy Variation

, 2017
Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planchon) is an economically important fruit, and its flowering and production are affected by the chill accumulation in winter. In this study, the chilling requirements of nine kiwifruit cultivars with three ploidy levels (

Chilling requirement for seed germination and phenological observations on peach cultivars Necessidade de frio para estratificação das sementes e observações fenológicas em cultivares de pessegueiro

Revista Ceres, 2013
In subtropical climate areas, the models and methods proposed to evaluate the chilling requirement of temperate fruit crops often do not provide satisfactory results, thus calling for the development of alternative techniques.

Low‐Cost, Large‐Scale Nanoporous Metals by Mechanical Alloying, Oxide Reduction, and Dealloying of Powders

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Powder metal processing provides scalable advantages in nanoporous (np) metal development. Mechanical alloying is used to produce unique precursors for hybrid nanopore formation by oxide reduction and dealloying. As demonstrated in np Ag, this approach improves process efficiency while promoting smaller ligaments and larger pores, both of which are ...

The effects of modified carcass chilling on beef carcass grade and quality of several muscles

, 2004
To determine the effect of modified carcass chilling on beef carcass grade and meat quality, paired sides were assigned to modified (5°C for 24 h then 0–2°C until 48 h post-mortem) or control chilling (0–2°C for 24 h). After grading at the completion of

Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.
