5) correlated with altitude and temperature. A moderate correlation was also found between temperature and elements such as Ba, Fe, Mn, Ni and Sr in the pulp and peel samples. The PCA results and correlation analysis suggested that the differences of banana compositions were combined effects of geographical factors and production systems.…[Read more]

Specifically, it starts from a relatively low value of 0.45 ± 0.005 in the first loading, then increases to 0.48 ± 0.005 in the first unloading, and remains largely constant afterward. Such a change in the Poisson’s ratio results in a slight volume increase (≈1%) at a maximum strain of 17.5%. Our findings are useful for those who use finite ele…[Read more]

The pulsed magnetic field (PMF) was adopted for the enhancement of lipid in Chlorella vulgaris. The average biomass and lipid content in outdoor conditions were found to be 0.315 g.L-1 and 20-25% respectively. The effect of magnetic flux density in the range of 600-900 mG on biomass production and lipid content was studied. A magnetic flux density…[Read more]
