Abstract Three cases of ‘fruit-stone ileus’ are reported in which ingested plum stones were obstructed in their progress through the bowel by other disease. Over the succeeding months or years the stones enlarged and then began to cause symptoms. Radiological aids to diagnosis are discussed together with the surgical treatment.

Advancing Fruit Ripening in Stone Fruit Species [PDF]
Fresh fruits of stone fruit species are either lacking or in short supply in the months of March and April on the world market. This results from the absence of late-maturing cultivars in most of these species and from their poor storage capabilities.

Rootstocks for Florida Stone Fruit
Rootstocks have been used in many tree fruit systems to provide growth advantages and/or pest and disease resistance without affecting (or sometimes improving) productivity and fruit quality. In Florida, stone fruit are grown on rootstocks that specifically provide resistance to the peach root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne floridensis (Handoo, et al ...

Bud-, flower- and fruit-density in stone fruits
In 164 varieties of five stone fruit species, counts of flower buds, flowers and fruits set have been performed, regularly, between 1982 and 2002. The critical number and sample size has been determined for the purpose to estimate the yielding potential of peach plantations. For a rapid test, 10 shoots per variety are recommended.

New Plants for Florida: Stone Fruit
Peach, nectarine, plum, apricot and cherry are called stone fruit because of their central hard pit. Because of Florida’s warm climate, breeding programs for stone fruit have focused on developing “low-chill” varieties –those that can grow and produce fruit with very few hours of chilling or cold weather in the winter.

A Touch Enabled Hemodynamic and Metabolic Monitor
This work presents a touch‐based hybrid platform for simultaneous monitoring of vital signs and sweat metabolites. With a simple tri‐finger touch of 4–6 min, users can concurrently get to know their glucose, uric acid, cortisol levels from fingertip sweat, along with blood pressure and heart rate.

Active Whisker‐Inspired Food Material Surface Property Measurement Using Deep‐Learned Mechanosensor
Herein, a new application is proposed for an active whisker sensor that mimics the movement of rat whiskers. The whiskers, which are deformed by contact with an object, provide information about surface properties. It is shown that active whisker sensors can be useful in the food industry, and data identification is performed using deep learning ...
