Summary: This paper reviews the applications of salicylic acid (SA) and its derivatives, acetylsalicylate (ASA) and methyl salicylate (MeSA), in preserving fruit and vegetables. The optimal method is preharvest spraying due to its high absorption efficiency and shorter postharvest handling time. The applications of SA and its derivatives have been shown to improve storage quality by reducing ethylene production and respiration rate, suppressing fruit softening and color change, maintaining sugars, organic acids and aroma, inhibiting chilling injury, promoting pathogen resistance, and activating antioxidant system.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of the endophytic bacteria Bacillus subtilis and its combination with salicylic acid on stored Phytophthora infestans-infected potato tubers. The results showed that infection with P. infestans significantly increased tuber decay and oxidative and osmotic damage. However, treatments with B. subtilis and its combination with salicylic acid reduced disease incidence and damage in stored tubers.

Summary: epsilon-PL broth showed significant antifungal activity against fruit pathogens, effectively delaying the decline in fruit quality during storage and reducing decay incidences. Furthermore, immersion in epsilon-PL broth increased the activity of defense-related enzymes in fruits, making it a promising alternative for preserving fruits at postharvest stage instead of high purity epsilon-PL and synthetic fungicides.

Summary: This paper proposes a technique using directly coupled stacked patches to increase impedance bandwidth and reduce cross-polarization. By employing metallic shorting posts between the metallic patches, the stacked configurations achieve a bandwidth of 25.8% and a gain of 8.8 dBi with low cross-polarization levels. A symmetrically direct-coupled stacked design further suppresses cross-polar components, resulting in a bandwidth of 26.1% and a gain of 9.3 dBi.

Summary: Torrefaction is an important process to improve the fuel properties of agro-waste. In this study, palmyra palm shell and redgram stalk were torrefied at different temperatures and residence times. The results showed that increasing the torrefaction temperature increased the fixed carbon content, high heating value, and energy density of the fuel, while reducing its mass and energy yield. The torrefied biomass also had improved grindability and reduced moisture reabsorption tendency compared to the raw agro-wastes.

Summary: A slurry-based technique has been developed for manufacturing porous nickel structures for capillary pumping systems, requiring porosity levels higher than 40% and pore size diameter lower than 20 mu m. Irregular open pores are observed in sintered blanks, with porosity level and volume shrinkage decreasing and increasing with sintering temperature increase. Compressive flow stress-strain curves exhibit three regions, including elastic modulus, plastic yield, and densification, with higher sintering temperatures leading to decreased porosity levels and increased plateau and densification stress.

Summary: The adoption of single-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung tumors has been limited in various institutions, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lack of familiarity and concerns about potential toxicities may be reasons for this limitation. To address this issue, a systematic review of prospective studies on single-fraction SBRT was conducted. The review found that the use of single-fraction SBRT showed favorable outcomes in terms of local control and survival among peripheral tumors. Toxicities were generally mild, with a small percentage of patients experiencing severe toxicity. These encouraging results suggest that single-fraction SBRT may be beneficial beyond the current pandemic.
