Successfull Blossom Thinning and Crop Load Regulation for Organic Apple Growing with Potassium-bi-carbonate (Armicarb(R)): Results of Field Experiments over 3 Years and with 11 Cultivars [PDF]

, 2012
With field trials over 3 years in a commercial organic orchard in Switzerland we have tested the efficacy of Armicarb® (potassium-bi-carbonate) for flower thinning in organic apple production.

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

Young children's perspectives of time: New directions for co‐constructing understandings of quality in ECEC

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Children's relationship with time in preschools is an under‐researched area. Young children rarely know how to measure time using a clock, but their experiences of time may contribute to understanding children's well‐being and debates about quality in preschools.

Memristive Physical Reservoir Computing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Memristors’ nonlinear dynamics and input‐dependent memory effects make them ideal candidates for high‐performance physical reservoir computing (RC). Based on their conductance modulation, memristors can be classified as electronic or optoelectronic types.

The Expression of Key Ethylene and Anthocyanin Biosynthetic Genes of ‘Honeycrisp’ Apples Subjected to the Combined Use of Reflective Groundcovers and Aminoethoxyvinylglycine in the Mid-Atlantic US

Plants
The decreased profitability of important apple cultivars, such as ‘Honeycrisp’, results from the poor red skin coloration and high fruit drop in the mid-Atlantic US. Apple red skin coloration is determined by the anthocyanin concentration.

Retenção de frutos de laranjeiras de umbigo ‘Monte Parnaso’ em função da aplicação de 2,4-d, ácido giberélico e da anelagem de ramos Fruit set of 'Monte Parnaso' navel oranges in function of the application of growth regulators and branch girdling

Ciência Rural, 1999
A laranjeira de umbigo ‘Monte Parnaso’ é muito apreciada e cultivada no RS, entretanto, apresenta baixa produtividade, relacionada a uma intensa abcisão de flores e frutos em desenvolvimento.

Fruit Morphology and Drop of Navel Oranges in Florida

HortScience, 1984
Abstract Some morphological aspects of navel oranges [ Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] were studied in 1980 and 1981 on healthy fruit and fruit affected by secondary-fruit yellowing (SFY), stylar-end decay (SED), and fruit splitting, major causes of summer and summer-fall fruit

Characterising pressure and bruising in apple fruit [PDF]

, 2007
A large percentage of apples are wasted each year due to damage such as bruising. The apple journey from orchard to supermarket is very complex and apples are subjected to a variety of static and dynamic loads that could result in this damage occurring ...

Flexible Thin‐Film Heater Composed of Laser‐Induced Graphene and Poly(D, L‐Lactic Acid) with Electro‐ and Photo‐Thermal Properties toward Cancer Thermotherapy

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a thin‐film‐type heat‐generating device that uses laser induced graphene (LIG) on a poly(D, L‐lactic) acid film, which realizes both resistance heating by direct current application and photothermal conversion heating by near‐infrared light irradiation.

Two abscission zones proximal to Lansium domesticum fruit: one more sensitive to exogenous ethylene than the other

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Longkong (Lansium domesticum) fruit grows in bunches and is also sold as bunches. Individual fruit can separate from the bunch both before and after commercial harvest. The fruit has two separation sites.
