STRAWBERRY DESICCATION AND GLOSS IN REFRIGERATED STORAGE DEPEND ON THE INTERACTION BETWEEN CULTIVAR AND TIME AFTER HARVEST

Strawberry Desiccation and Gloss in Refrigerated Storage Depend on the Interaction between Cultivar and Time after Harvest

The objectives of this study were to Sweets Jar characterize strawberry cultivars grown under two production systems for gloss at harvest as a proxy for freshness and assess cultivar differences regarding the loss of gloss and changes in desiccation scores during refrigerated postharvest storage.Nine strawberry cultivars were grown in an annual pla

Spatial distribution of sequential ventilation during mechanical ventilation of the uninjured lung: an argument for cyclical airway collapse and expansion

Abstract Background Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a recognized complication of mechanical ventilation.Although the specific mechanism by which mechanical ventilation causes lung injury remains an active area of study, the application of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) reduces its severity.We have previously reported that VILI is
