Aims: In this study, the physical and rheological properties of three poly-floral honey samples collected from different places in the Kurdistan region were determined. Methods: The honey samples were analyzed for pH, free acidity, total ash content, moisture content, refractive index, soluble solids (Brix), electrical conductivity, volume expansion, density, specific heat capacity, surface tension, and rheological properties. The pH and free acidity of the honey samples varied from 4.10 to 4.81 to 30 to 62 mEq/kg, respectively. The total ash content ranged from 0.166 to 0.408 %. The moisture content, soluble solids, and refractive index ranged from 15.60 to 16.60 g/100 g, 83.40 to 84.40, and 1.4998 to 1.5023, respectively. The electrical conductivity ranged from 40.896 to 44.471 mS/cm. The linear relationship between the electrical conductivity and the ash content was also calculated in this investigation. The volumetric expansion coefficient of the honey samples varied from 6.0098x10-4 to 6.69942x10-4 mm3 /K. The density ranged from 1.42125995 to 1.45501137 g/cm3 . The specific heat capacity of the varied from 2448.078 to 2575.004 J/kg.K. The surface tension varied from 0.2178 to 0.2282 N/m. The apparent viscosity was measured by Brookfield Viscometer, and the dynamic viscosity was measured by HAAKE Falling Ball Viscometer, after changing the temperature from 293 to 323 K. Results and Discussion: The honey samples of lower moisture content showed a greater increase in their apparent and dynamic viscosities. Arrhenius model was used to describe the effect of temperature on the honey viscosity. This model was used to determine the activation energy. Other rheological properties as kinematic viscosity and fluidity, were also determined. Conclusion: All the honey samples behaved as Newtonian fluids in the whole temperature range.

Banana is an agricultural product of great economic importance for various developing countries. The relationship between moisture content and water activity provides useful information for the processing and storage of banana waste. The water activity and moisture content of three banana (Mussa spp. Haploid AAB cv. Nanica) waste items were analyzed to determine the desorption isotherms at six different temperatures (20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70°C). The desorption isotherms of the peel, pedicel and pulp of overripe bananas were determined in wide ranges of moisture content (0.001–6.360 kg kg-1 d.b.) and water activity (0.02–0.907). The theoretical GAB model was used for modelling the desorption isotherms. An analytical solution of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation was proposed to compute the isosteric heat of sorption, the differential entropy and Gibbs’ free energy by way of the GAB model when the effect of temperature on the hygroscopic equilibrium was considered.

This study explain the effect of temperature on the product yield of guinea-corn stalk (Char, tar and Gas). Approximately 0.23kg dried Guinea Corn Stalk (GCS) was introduced into the retort in which the retort was rendered airtight. The retort was placed into the chamber of an electric furnace and the GCS was pyrolysed at a temperature of 400OC at a constant time of 20minutes. This was repeated for temperatures 450,500,550 and 600OC and in each cases, the quantities of char, tar and the bio-gas were determined. Proximate and ultimate analysis were carried out on the sample in other to know the level of moisture content in the sample and also to know if GCS has more contribution to global warming by observing the percentage of the Sulphur and Nitrogen content in the ultimate analysis.Using the sigma plot application as well as the Microsoft excel bar chart to illustrate the relationship between the temperature and the pyrolysis product. This application depict and shown how the increase in temperature affect the product yield (Gas, Tar and Char). The Char yields a percentage of approximately 17% at 400OC and drastically decreased to 27% at 600OC, the tar yields a percentage of approximately 28% at 400OC and increased to 39% at 600OC and also the gas yields a percentage of approximately 17% at 400OC and increased to 34% at 600OC.The result shown that GCS can be pyrolyzed at and high temperature to obtaining more yields of bio-gas.

Clod crushing is a principal problem with soils of high clay content. Therefore, there is a need for determining the conditions for clod breaking and clod crushing. The objective of the work was to develop a special purpose tool for single clod breaking both by rigid support of the clod and by a single clod supported by soil and to develop a machine for clod crushing. Furthermore, the purpose was to determine the relationship between the specific energy requirement for clod crushing in the function of soil plasticity and the soil moisture content by the means of the developed tool and machine. The main result of the experiments is summarized in a 3D diagram where the specific energy requirement for soil clod crushing is given in the function of the moisture content and the plasticity index for different clay soils.

Seed longevity of 76 spring barley gene pool samples (Hordeum vulgare L. subsp. distichon, convar. distichon: 56 nutans Schubl., two deficience (Steud.) Koern., two erectum Rode ex Shuebl., two medicum Koern.; convar. nudum (L.) A.Trof.: one nudum L. та subsp. vulgare: convar. vulgare: nine pallidum Ser., three rikotense Regel.; convar. coeleste (L.) A.Trof.: one coeleste (L.) A.Trof.) from 26 countries, 11 years and four places of reproduction was analyzed. Seeds with 5–8% moisture content were stored in chamber with unregulated and 4oC temperature. The possibility of seed storage under these conditions for at least 10 years without significant changes in germination has been established. The importance of meteorological conditions in the formation and ripening of seeds for their longevity is confirmed. The relationship between the decrease of barley seeds longevity and storage conditions, amount of rainfall, temperature regime during the growing season of plants is discussed.

The respiratory rates of three species of planktonic copepods, Acartia clausi, Centropages hamatus and Temora longicornis, were measured at four different temperatures.The relationship between respiratory rate and temperature was found to be similar to that previously found for Calanus, although the slope of the curves differed in the different species.The observations on Centropages at 13 and 170 C. can be divided into two groups and it is suggested that the differences are due to the use of copepods from two different generations.The relationship between the respiratory rates and lengths of Acartia and Centropages agreed very well with that previously found for other species. That for Temora was rather different: the difference is probably due to the distinct difference in the shape of the body of Temora from those of the other species.The application of these measurements to estimates of the food requirements of the copepods is discussed.

Abstract Background Although exposure to air pollution has been linked to many health issues, few studies have quantified the modification effect of temperature on the relationship between air pollutants and daily incidence of influenza in Ningbo, China. Methods The data of daily incidence of influenza and the relevant meteorological data and air pollution data in Ningbo from 2014 to 2017 were retrieved. Low, medium and high temperature layers were stratified by the daily mean temperature with 25th and 75th percentiles. The potential modification effect of temperature on the relationship between air pollutants and daily incidence of influenza in Ningbo was investigated through analyzing the effects of air pollutants stratified by temperature stratum using distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM). Stratified analysis by sex and age were also conducted. Results Overall, a 10 μg/m3 increment of O3, PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 could increase the incidence risk of influenza with the cumulative relative risk of 1.028 (95% CI 1.007, 1.050), 1.061 (95% CI 1.004, 1.122), 1.043 (95% CI 1.003, 1.085), and 1.118 (95% CI 1.028, 1.216), respectively. Male and aged 7–17 years were more sensitive to air pollutants. Through the temperature stratification analysis, we found that temperature could modify the impacts of air pollution on daily incidence of influenza with high temperature exacerbating the impact of air pollutants. At high temperature layer, male and the groups aged 0–6 years and 18–64 years were more sensitive to air pollution. Conclusion Temperature modified the relationship between air pollution and daily incidence of influenza and high temperature would exacerbate the effects of air pollutants in Ningbo.
