TL;DR: Exposure to high temperature in the last stages of fruit maturation did not strongly depreciate bean quality, under the conditions of unrestricted water supply and moderate irradiance, and the superimposition of elevated air [CO2] contributed to preserve bean quality by modifying and mitigating the heat impact on physical and chemical traits of coffee beans.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of detection systems in portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry was performed, and an assessment of various detectors and their influence on the measurement of trace elements in different bulk materials, from light to heavy matrices, was done.

TL;DR: This value is the most accurate, reference-free measurement done for such a transition and is in good agreement with recent QED predictions.

TL;DR: Theoretical expressions for ionization cross sections by electron impact based on the binary encounter Bethe (BEB) model, valid from ionization threshold up to relativistic energies, are proposed in this article.

TL;DR: Evaluating Zn- and Se-biofortification capability of two Mozambican rice cultivars showed that foliar Zn and Se application promoted higher accumulation of these minerals in the IR grains, and biofortification was more efficient in the whole grain than in polished grain.
