Changes and adaptation in landscapes: a historical perspective on coconut plantation in Vanuatu (South Pacific). International meeting on agrobiodiversity across landscapes in a changing world [PDF]

, 2012
At the end of the 19th century in the New Hebrides archipelago, coconut cultivation geared towards copra production was developed on colonial estates, then from the 1930s onwards by Melanesian smallholders, who saw it as a means of gaining a foothold in ...

Exploring the Application of Waxes and Their Mixtures Oleogels in Ice Cream

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to produce ice cream using waxes oleogels, aiming to improve its nutritional value while maintaining its physical‐chemistry characteristics. Five ice cream formulations were manufactured using (1) milk fat, (2) canola oil, and (3–5) canola oil‐oleogels. The oleogels were produced with beeswax (BEW), carnauba wax (

Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Profiles Provide Insights into the Molecular Mechanisms in Modulating Female Flower of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)

Agriculture
Coconut yield and quality are significantly affected by multiple female inflorescences (MFF), which disrupt flower differentiation balance. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms, we compared MFF with normal female inflorescences (NFF) using phenotypic ...

Use of unobserved components model for forecasting non-stationary time series: a case of annual national coconut production in Sri Lanka

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2015
Forecasting a time series is generally done by using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. The main drawback of this technique is that the time series should be stationary. In reality, this assumption is rarely met.

Genomic studies of the coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) : [Abstract P0225] [PDF]

, 2012
The evolutionary history of the monotypic coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is intriguing and its geographical origin remains unknown. The coconut is the quintessential strand plant, colonizing sandy coastal beaches and islands in the humid tropics and is well

Effect of Binder on Physical Properties of Extruded Activated Carbon and Its Application to Levofloxacin Adsorption

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bamboo charcoal–based extruded activated carbons were prepared via molding, pre‐oxidation, carbonization, and steam activation, with coal tar, phenolic resin, and their mixtures employed as binders based on practical availability and technical feasibility. This study focused on the regulatory effects of binders on the mechanical properties and

Variation in parrot jaw musculature

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,
