The ratios of A260/280 and Amax/min were 1.2 and 1.1 respectively. Electron microscopy of purified virus showed the presence of rod shape particles with a size 300 nm. Titer of the prepared antisera as determined using ELISA was 1/2000. Electron microscopic examination of infected leaves of N. clevelandii founed various cyt...

The ratios of A260Q80 and A were 1.2 and 1.11 for TSWV and 1.2, 1.3 for IYSV. Electron microscopy of purified TSWV and IYSV showed the presence of spherical panicles with 85 nm and 80-120 nm in diameter for TSWV and IYSV, respectively.

... phages had different ultraviolet absorption spectra. Results of the lytic pattern of both phages showed that, they had a restricted host range. Particle morphology of the isolated phages was determined and it was found that the two viruses have tadpole shape, which phage PPI has an isometric head (135 nm) and long non-contractile tail (225 nm) whereas phage PP2 has an isometric head (121 nm) and long contractile tail (202 nm), the tail possing an outer sheath...

...dsorption measurements. Gravimetric method based magnetic suspension adsorption measurement unit was used for close-cycle adsorption kinetics measurements. However, the open-cycle adsorption kinetics was determined from the instantaneous measurement of air relative humidity and dry-bulb temperature in and out to the desiccant block while assuming the equilibrium between air and desiccant sides. Both experimental results were analyzed using linear driving force...

Mechanical properties (MOE, MOR, IB strength and screw-withdrawal resistance) and dimensional stabilities (Thickness swelling, water absorption and Linear expansion) of the boards were determined. Mechanical properties of boards of paper mulberry increased with board density. The boards with density 0.66 g/cm3 have better dimensional stability than those w...

Therefore, a new drying process technology, Photovoltaic Ventilation (Solar Dryer) was developed to overcome the above problems. In this research, onions were dried using a photovoltaic ventilated solar dryer, and temperature analysis and bioactive compounds were performed to evaluate the performance of the system in terms of energy efficiency compared to drying ...
