Retention of Freshness in Fig Fruit by CO2-Enriched Atmosphere Treatment or Modified Atmosphere Packaging under Ambient Temperature
(THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE, 1993)At 20•C, freshness retention of figs (Ficus carica L. cv. Masui Dauphine) by CO2-enriched atmosphere treatment or modified atmosphere packaging were studied in an attempt to reduce deterioration during transportation. ... -
Differential Equations and Their Applications
(Springer, 1993)Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as weil as the ... -
Probability
(Springer, 1993)This is a text for a one-quarter or one-semester course in probability, aimed at students who have done a year of calculus. The book is organized so a student can learn the fundamental ideas of probability from the first ... -
Comparative limnology, species diversity and biomass relationship of zooplankton and phytoplankton in five freshwater lakes in Kenya
(Springer, 1994)Comparative studies on the limnology, species diversity and standing stock biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton in five freshwater lakes, Naivasha and Oloidien, Ruiru, Masinga and Nairobi reservoirs, were undertaken. ... -
