Spatial variations and trends in AOD climatology over East Africa during 2002–2016: a comparative study using three satellite data sets
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)
Aerosol optical depth (AOD) has become one of the most crucial parameters for climate change assessment.
This study presents long-term (2002–2016) spatio-temporal distributions and trends in AOD over East Africa (EA) ...
Characterization of Ripening-related Genes Involved in Ethylene-independent Low Temperature-modulated Ripening in ‘Rainbow Red’ Kiwifruit during Storage and On-vine
(The Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2018)
‘Rainbow Red’ kiwifruit have been reported to gradually ripen during low temperature storage and on the vine in the absence of detectable ethylene. This study was conducted to compare the expression of ripening-related ...
Haemorrhage of gross domestic product from disability-adjusted-life-years among 15-59 year olds in Kenya
(International Medical Society, 2018)
This article estimates non-health gross domestic pro-duct (GDP) losses associated with Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) lost among 15-59 year olds (most productive age bracket) in Kenya in 2015. This study ...
Ecology and Environment
(2018-02)
The following abstract was retrieved from the above mentioned reference:Ecology is the study of animals and plants in their relations to each other and to their environment. The term oekologie (ecology) was coined in 1866 ...
Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals distinct ethylene – independent regulation of ripening in response to low temperature in kiwifruit
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Kiwifruit are classified as climacteric since exogenous ethylene (or its analogue propylene) induces rapid ripening accompanied by ethylene production under positive feedback regulation. However, most of the ripening–associated ...
Effect of Nanocomposite-Based Packaging on Microstructure and Energy Metabolism of Agaricus Bisporus
(Elsevier, 2018)
Rapid deterioration of postharvest Agaricus bisporus is a serious problem. Measures to improve the shelf-life are of great importance. Therefore, we used a nanocomposite-based packaging material (Nano-PM) containing ...
Influence of different storage conditions on physical and sensory properties of freeze-dried Agaricus bisporus slices.
(Elsevier, 2018)
Abstract
To explore the influences of storage conditions on freeze-dried Agaricus bisporus slices, the dynamic changes of physical and sensory properties under different conditions (37 °C, 85% RH; 25 °C, 55% RH; ambient ...
A fine-tuned vector-parasite dialogue in tsetse's cardia determines peritrophic matrix integrity and trypanosome transmission success
(PLoS Pathog, 2018)
Arthropod vectors have multiple physical and immunological barriers that impede the development and transmission of parasites to new vertebrate hosts. These barriers include the peritrophic matrix (PM), a chitinous barrier ...
