The percentage of eggs that developed to adults decreased with the increasing egg density per gram of fruit probably due to intra-specific competition, and this was further confirmed by manipulating the egg density and using the same ‘Bing’ cherry cultivar as the tested host. Females preferred larger fruit for oviposition, which is consistent with the …

Etemadieh looked into using SOFC system for data center application
The membrane electrode assembly is made up of anode and cathode electrodes and an electrolyte which is sandwiched between the two electrodes. The electrodes are permeable to gas so that the gases can make contact with the electrolyte. Points at which the gas, electrode, and electrolyte meet are points where an electrochemical reaction can occur which …

The Expert Panel members were a mix of practitioners and researchers in the field of interest
Increasing the frequency of raspberry harvests means that fruit is harvested sooner, thus reducing the availability of ripe fruit in the field. SWD primarily targets red fruit that is fully ripened or overripe.While SWD also infest fruit before they ripen, this damage is less pervasive. Even if SWD infestations are present in less ripe fruit, …
California accounted for 74% of all raspberry production in the United States
Whereas we see Agnes and Matilda using several imperatives to command Ambrosio’s attention, contemplation, and compassion, Antonia’s quoted imperatives are few and usually physical, and rather than commanding Ambrosio’s body alone , Antonia’s physical imperatives generally make herself the object of the demand, as she tells him, “Let me go!”; “take me from hence!”; “Unhand …

Mycelia were harvested from a total of nine replicate plates for each treatment
Amateur critics now label Parsons’s novel “so bad it’s good” because of its sentimental conventions, but Lewis’s novel has become a “good” bad novel—bold, unruly, and virile, as we might expect from a work that came to be known as the epitome of the “male gothic” subgenre. Online reviews of The Monk praise its sensational …

They rarely make a strong case for the novel meriting attention on its own terms
The novel’s formula and melodrama are the traits that I see as essential to understanding what this novel can offer readers today: a better understanding of how readers learn to feel categorically according to the dictates of their cultural or critical values, and an option for learning to feel in accordance with other norms. In …

No cultivars had fruit that were significantly heavier than Wonderful
Using the race 1 resistance phenotypes observed in our studies and California Strawberry Commission production statistics , we discovered that susceptible cultivars have been planted on 49-85% of the acreage in California over the last eleven years . That percentage has hovered between 55 and 59% since 2014. Hence, susceptible cultivars continue to be widely …

Most participants in both studies also had a college degree or more
As highly educated individuals tend to be more optimistic than those in less advantaged situations , this may have caused some ceiling effects in our ability to induce optimism. There are also reasons to suspect that the intervention effects may vary depending on socioeconomic status or other sociodemographic factors and that our findings may not …

We confirmed the expression of five GRBaV genes in ripening red-skinned berries
Most enzymes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism are encoded by large gene families. There is also high redundancy among these genes, which ensures the functional integrity and plasticity of the phenylpropanoid-related pathways . Therefore, to test the hypothesis that the red blotch-induced transcriptional changes had an actual impact on phenylpropanoid metabolism, we measured the activity of …

A complete granular fertilizer was broadcast-applied at a rate of 400 pounds per acre
Some studies have shown that the effects of consuming whole foods are more beneficial than consuming compounds isolated from the food, such as dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. Because fruit consumption is mainly related to visual appearance, flavor and antioxidant properties, we decided to evaluate fruit quality attributes, antioxidant capacity and consumer acceptance of the early-season …
