Experiments were also carried out to determine the effect of the chemical on fruit detachment force, fruit weight, and mechanical harvesting efficiency.
First, if the object to be lifted is too light, the pull-off force after application of a preload above the buckling preload Pb may be too high for reliable detachment, representing a minimum weight threshold, and second, if the object to be lifted is too heavy, it will detach prior to lifting, representing a maximum weight threshold.
Fruit detachment force (FDF) and fruit weight (W) were measured and hence the changes in the percentage of removed fruits with shaking were determined at different maturity times.
The weight required for the detachment was calculated, and mucoadhesive strength was determined according to the formula given below.
Detachment rate was measured using the weight of disintegrating water-saturated soil in unit time represented by V = M/t = (M 1 − M 2)/t (g/min).
Many Red Guard units collapsed under the weight of the assault and several detachments retreated in panic, while some units defended their posts relentlessly, and were able to slow the advance of the White Guards, who were unaccustomed to offensive warfare.
The detachment of dopant is extended to 450 °C for higher weight ratios of PSS.
It was suggested that Ancrod, a polypeptide from Agkistrodon rhodostoma, administered with cyclophosphamide, could produce defibrination, thus decreasing the tumor weight by fibrinolysis and contributing to both detachment and decreased spread of some tumors [ 33].
Early loss of muscle weight was evident one and two weeks after detachment and immediate reattachment of the SSP muscle compared with controls (p = 0.004 and p = 0.000 respectively) (Fig. 1).
The weights of the leaves were recorded at different time points after detachment and the average water loss ratio was calculated by comparing with the initial weights.
