Download or read book Tests of Overseas Shipments of California Citrus Fruit Interrelations Between Fruit Condition Biphenyl Content Transit Temperature Delayed Loading and Biphenyl Pad Placement written by United States Department Of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tests of Overseas Shipments of California Citrus Fruit, Interrelations Between Fruit Condition, Biphenyl Content, Transit Temperature, Delayed Loading, and Biphenyl Pad Placement: Marketing Research Report 830 Penicillium - induced decay and soilage can be suppressed in shipments of citrus fruits if paper pads treated with biphenyl are placed in the shipping containers. However, varying quantities of biphenyl are absorbed by the fruit and under certain conditions of transport and handling, the fruit may retain biphenyl resi dues that exceed legally permissible tolerances. (the European Economic Community (eec) accepts any residue value at or below 70 parts per million.) To obtain data on the problem of giving citrus fruit maximum biphenyl protection with out exceeding acceptable biphenyl residues, and to obtain information on transit temperature and condition of fruit transported by several methods, test shipments of citrus fruits were sent from California to Rotterdam, the N ether lands, in 1967. These test shipments consisted of 36 orange lots, nine lemon lots, and six grapefruit lots. Most of the fruit was sent by rail to the Atlantic seaboard for transit to Rotterdam by ship. Some, however, was sent by ship from California to Rotterdam via the Panama Canal. The temperatures of most of the test ship ments of oranges sent east by rail were higher than desirable while the oranges were in the railcars.

Download or read book Oranges written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a short magazine article about oranges and orange juice, but the author kept encountering so much irresistible information that he eventually found that he had in fact written a book. It contains sketches of orange growers, orange botanists, orange pickers, orange packers, early settlers on Florida's Indian River, the first orange barons, modern concentrate makers, and a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida who may be the last of the individual orange barons. McPhee's astonishing book has an almost narrative progression, is immensely readable, and is frequently amusing. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles, because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too—with elements in it that range from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a custom of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.

Download or read book Railtown written by Ethan N. Elkind and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2014-01-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The familiar image of Los Angeles as a metropolis built for the automobile is crumbling. Traffic, air pollution, and sprawl motivated citizens to support urban rail as an alternative to driving, and the city has started to reinvent itself by developing compact neighborhoods adjacent to transit. As a result of pressure from local leaders, particularly with the election of Tom Bradley as mayor in 1973, the Los Angeles Metro Rail gradually took shape in the consummate car city. Railtown presents the history of this system by drawing on archival documents, contemporary news accounts, and interviews with many of the key players to provide critical behind-the-scenes accounts of the people and forces that shaped the system. Ethan Elkind brings this important story to life by showing how ambitious local leaders zealously advocated for rail transit and ultimately persuaded an ambivalent electorate and federal leaders to support their vision. Although Metro Rail is growing in ridership and political importance, with expansions in the pipeline, Elkind argues that local leaders will need to reform the rail planning and implementation process to avoid repeating past mistakes and to ensure that Metro Rail supports a burgeoning demand for transit-oriented neighborhoods in Los Angeles. This engaging history of Metro Rail provides lessons for how the American car-dominated cities of today can reinvent themselves as thriving railtowns of tomorrow.

Local streetcar systems and long-ceased regional railroads are part of the area's rail legacy. Rare historic images blended with contemporary photography chronicle the region's railways from times past to the present.
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
