  • Biology and management of freesia flower specking caused by Botrytis cinerea 
    Darras, Anastasios I. (Cranfield University, 2003)
    There is no published research regarding postharvest infection of freesia flowers by Botrytis cinerea. Although, infection problems have concerned freesia growers and wholesalers in recent years. The overall objectives ...
  • Biomarkers of postharvest resilience: unveiling the role of abscisic acid in table grapes during cold storage 
    Navarro-Calderón, Ángela; Falagán, Natalia; Terry, Leon A.; Alamar, M. Carmen (Frontiers, 2023-09-29)
    Table grapes are considered non-climacteric fruit, not showing a rapid increase in respiration rate and ethylene production during ripening. Previous research has suggested that abscisic acid (ABA) may have a more crucial ...
  • Biomass characteristics, aeration and oxygen transfer in membrane bioreactors: their interrelations explained by a review of aerobic biological processes 
    Germain, Eve; Stephenson, Tom (Springer, 2005-11)
    Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a promising alternative to conventional wastewater treatment methods. However this process is still under-used due to its high running costs. Its main power requirement comes from aeration, ...
  • Biomass distributions in dwarf tree, krummholz, and tundra vegetation in the alpine treeline ecotone 
    Grafius, Darren R.; Malanson, George (Taylor and Francis, 2015-06-09)
    Alpine treeline ecotones are expected to respond to climate change with shifts in biomass patterns and carbon dynamics; however, the nature of these shifts and the current structure of carbon storage at treeline remain ...
  • Biomass effects on membrane bioreactor operations 
    Germain, E. A. M. (Cranfield University, 2004-10)
    Diverse operating parameters were investigated for their effects on biomass characteristics, membrane fouling and aeration efficiency in submerged membrane bioreactors (MBRS). The characteristics of the solid phase of ...
  • Biomass effects on oxygen transfer in membrane bioreactors. 
    Germain, Eve; Nelles, F.; Drews, A.; Pearce, P.; Kraume, M.; Reid, E.; Judd, Simon J.; Stephenson, Tom (Elsevier, 2007-03)
