Hermetic technologies and grain quality of Phaseolus lunatus L. in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
(2023-12-23)
In southern Mexico, postharvest losses of grains are an important constraint in achieving food security and conservation of biodiversity. This study was conducted under field conditions to investigate the effect of prolonged storage on the grain quality of lima beans. Grain damage, moisture content, seed germination, and culinary quality were evaluated during six months of storage in hermetic containers and traditional methods. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and differences between treatments separated ...

Evaluation of the breeding soundness test for Bonga sheep in the context of a community-based breeding programme in Ethiopia
(2023-12-29)
The aims of this study were to evaluate sire selection traits and semen characteristics for Bonga sheep. A total of 101 sires with different birth year from the Bonga sheep community based breeding programme (CBBP) were used to collect data. The data was analysed by using the GLM procedure of SAS and least square means was separated by using adjusted Tukey-Kramer method. The breeding soundness tests consisted of physical examinations, sire body condition score (BCS), scrotum circumference, estimated breeding value ...

Preferences of market gardeners for traditional vegetables and associated factors in urban areas of southern Benin
(2023-12-28)
There is a growing interest in the promotion of the use of traditional vegetables to reduce vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibres’ gaps of populations and to support rural and urban livelihoods in sub–Saharan Africa, including in Benin, because they are considered as more nutritious, accessible, and more culturally acceptable for consumers than many exotic vegetables. Meanwhile, the extent to which these traditional vegetables are preferred by the target populations, and especially by the local market gardeners who ...

Development of deep-placement fertiliser applicator and modelling of loads arising in the process of its operation
(2023-12-28)
The article considers the method of minimum tillage, namely soil tillage, loosening the soil, and fertiliser application at a depth below the level of the main crop. This method allows you to minimize the number of operations used in the cultivation of row crops such as soybeans, wheat, and others. The research in the area of soil tillage, namely the mathematical calculation and static analysis performed with the CAD system, revealed the loads that appear directly in the places where the soil deepener is attached to ...

The potential of mangrove as a food source in Riau
(2023-12-28)
Mangrove fruit has been utilized as a food by people in several regions in Indonesia, especially as traditional food. Information about the potential and benefits of mangrove fruit is still limited. There is not much information regarding physico-chemical properties of mangrove fruit as a potential food source. This study aims to gather and review various scientific information related to the potential of mangrove fruit and its use as foodstuff. This information can be used as a basis to conduct further research ...

Mechanical Characterization and Simulation of Wood Textile Composites (WTC) supported by Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
(2023-05-30)
Wood Textile Composites (WTC) based on willow wood fabrics and polypropylene were produced using a hot compacting process in order to open up new and innovative areas of applications for wood. Due to their attractive and variable design, the WTCs are to be used in areas with a high visual impact, for example as a facade element. In tensile and 3-point bending tests, it was shown that the mechanical properties of WTC are strongly dependent on the heterogeneous structure of the composite. Both strength and elongation ...

Microstructure of an additively manufactured Ti-Ta-Al alloy using novel pre-alloyed powder feedstock material
(2023-05-01)
Binary Ti-Ta and ternary Ti-Ta-Al alloys attracted considerable attention as new potential biomaterials and/or high-temperature shape memory alloys. However, conventional forming and manufacturing technologies of refractory based titanium alloys are difficult and cost-intensive, especially when complex shapes are required. Recently, additive manufacturing (AM) emerged as a suitable alternative and several studies exploited elemental powder mixing approaches to obtain a desired alloy and subsequently use it for complex ...
