Reflective materials enhance ‘Fuji’ apple color [PDF]
California Agriculture, 1996 Red color development is an important factor for consumer acceptance of California "Fuji" apples. Several attempts to improve red color development, including delaying harvest, have been unsuccessful in warm production areas. In California, late harvest has been associated with physiological problems such as skin cracking and internal browning. A study

Novel materials to enhance keratoprosthesis integration [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2000 The successful integration of keratoprostheses (KPros) within the cornea depends in part on peripheral host keratocyte adhesion to anchor the implant in place and prevent epithelial downgrowth. The following study incorporated different acrylate co-monomers with poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (p(HEMA)) and measured the suitability of these materials ...
