Abstract: The objective of this work was to define procedures to assess the tolerance of cassava genotypes to postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) and to microbial deterioration (MD). Roots of six cassava genotypes were evaluated in two experiments, during storage under different environmental conditions: high temperature and low soil moisture; or low temperature and high soil moisture. Roots were treated or not with fungicide (carbendazim) before storage. Genotype reactions to MD and PPD were evaluated at 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 days after harvest (DAH), in the proximal, medial, and distal parts of the roots. A diagrammatic scale was proposed to evaluate nonperipheral symptoms of PPD. Fungicide treatment and root position did not influence PPD expression; however, all factors had significant effect on MD severity. Genotypes differed as to their tolerance to PPD and MD. Both deterioration types were more pronounced during periods of higher humidity and lower temperatures. The fungicide treatment increased root shelf life by reducing MD severity up to 10 DAH. Whole roots showed low MD severity and high PPD expression up to 10 DAH, which enabled the assessment of PPD without significant interference of MD symptoms during this period.

Grain Filling Period

Environmental conditions in the Pannonian zone can be characterized with moderate high temperature and partially water deficit during grain filling of spring barley, although low temperature and water deficit are possible also in period till anthesis. This study was conducted to evaluate the variation of the duration of the period from emergence to anthesis (VP), duration of grain filling period (GFP), plant height (PH), spikes number m-2 (SN), grains number spike-1 (GN), thousand grains weight (GW) and yield (YIL) in spring two-rowed barley in conditions of the Pannonian zone. All three factors; genotype, environment and the interaction GxY affected the studied traits. Average VP was 777 GDD, GFP 782 GDD, PH 78 cm, SN 523, GN 28.2, GW 43.2 g and YIL 6.26 t ha-1. Variation across varieties was higher than across growing seasons. Heritability varied from 0.66 for YIL to 0.94 for VP and GFP. This study confirmed that a sufficiently large genetic variability must be base for selecting appropriate varieties for the Pannonian zone conditions. In order to determine high yielding and quality barley extensive research in relation to breeding, variety choice for production and growing practice must be done.

Thick Film Technology

Traditional thick film technology is widely used in various electronics products. There are two type of paste based on thick film technology. Typically, over 400°C is required for high temperature sintering type which contains glass for adhesion function. It shows high electrical and thermal performance. On the other hand, 150–300°C range process is used for low temperature process type as silver epoxy. In last decade, nano silver technology shows amazing progress to address low temperature operation by low temperature sintering. This paper will discuss the results on fundamental study of newly developed nano silver pastes with unique approach which uses MO (Metallo-organic) technology and resin reinforcing technology. Nano silver pastes contain several types of dispersant as surface coating to prevent agglomeration of the particles. Various coating technique has been reported to optimize sintering performance and stability. MO technology provides low temperature sintering capability by minimizing the coating material. The nano silver pastes show high electrical and thermal performance. However, degradation of die shear strength has been found by thermal cycling test due to the fragility of porous sintered structure. To improve the mechanical property, resin reinforcing technology has been developed. By adding special resin to the pastes, the porous area is filled with the resin and the sintered structure is reinforced. Degradation of die shear strength was not found by thermal cycling test to 1000 cycles. Nano silver pastes using MO technology and resin reinforcing technology will meet lots of requirement on various thick film applications.
