The objective of this study was to determine and compare the effect of five different pretreatments including sulfite treatment (ST), osmotic dehydration (OD), steam blanching (SB), s team blanching plus osmotic dehydration (SB+OD), and ultrasound treatment (UT), on the microwave vacuum drying (MVD) kinetics, the physicochemical properties, and sensory quality of the apple slices. The results showed...
The objective of this study was to test whether biochar amendment could offset the effects of nitrogen (N) deposition on soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and enzyme activity. We applied N (low and high rates) and biochar (low and high rates) individually, and in combination (all permutations) to the soil of a Torreya grandis cv. “Merrillii” orchard as a 13-month field experiment during 2015-2016...
Algae growth and photosynthesis can be inhibited in high-rate algae ponds (HRAP) in cold climates. This study evaluated the feasibility and importance of polyester fiber strips (PFS) that can be applied to HRAP as growing sites for algae survival, thus enhancing HRAP performance. The results indicated that 42.0±2.0% TN, 86.0±1.0% TP and 99.0±1.0% DCOD were reduced in HRAP with high PFS amounts, which...
Algae can increase pH and dissolved oxygen via photosynthesis and affect the wastewater treatment performance of high-rate algae ponds (HRAPs). Nine laboratory-scale HRAPs divided into three groups were constructed to treat synthetic wastewater via six-month experiments. Higher algae concentrations in the influent of HRAPs effectively promoted the wastewater treatment performance. Seasonal variation...
This model optimizes port hinterland intermodal refrigerated container flows , considering both cost and quality degradation, which is distinctive from the previous literature content in a way that it quantifies the influence of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in different setting temperature on intermodal network planning. The primary contribution of this paper is that the model is beneficial not only...
High pathogenicity islands (HPIs) in Escherichia coli encode genes that are primarily involved in iron uptake and regulation, and confer virulence and pathogenicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the transfer of HPIs in avian E. coli and identify the function of HPI in the acceptor strain. The HPI transfer strain was obtained under conditions of low temperature and low iron abundance, and...
