Genetic and metabolic effects of ripening mutations and vine detachment on tomato fruit quality. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2020 Summary Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening is regulated co‐operatively by the action of ethylene and a hierarchy of transcription factors, including RIPENING INHIBITOR (RIN) and NON‐RIPENING (NOR). Mutations in these two genes have been adopted commercially to delay ripening, and accompanying textural deterioration, as a means to prolong ...

Sustainable Development, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 2318-2331, August 2023., 2023 Abstract The transition toward a circular economy (CE) implies the introduction of innovative practices at the firm level. Nevertheless, an important question is under discussion: What are the consequences of these practices on firm performance? Using a survey approach, this article analyzes the effect of CE practices related to product design on ...

Direct evaporative cooling from wetted surfaces: Challenges for a clean air conditioning solution
WIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 11, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022 Direct evaporative cooling from wetted media can be fiber, rigid media, and fill pads. Performance is studied through saturation effectiveness, pressure drop, power requirements (coefficient of performance), and so on. This is mainly influenced by pad characteristics and supply air, but also by supply water, solar radiation, and wind speed.
