The collection contains approximately 480 models of fruit, vegetables and fungi used for teaching purposes and as exhibition pieces.
The recent development of process-based models of fruit quality may help us for this challenging issue.
Models of fruit temperature based on meteorological conditions could inform the design of netting structures, and improve tactical management to reduce sun damage through treatments such as protective sprays and the use of overhead irrigation to cool fruit.
The closing days of the Saturnalia were known as Sigillaria because of the custom of making, toward the end of the festival, presents of wax models of fruit and waxen statuettes that were fashioned by the sigillarii, manufacturers of small figures in wax and other media.
We illustrate our procedure by creating a detailed simulation model of fruit production patterns for Dipteryx oleifera, a keystone tree species, on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama.
A model of fruit transpiration was developed in which the usual meteorological variables (radiation, temperature, windspeed and relative humidity) were incorporated in a Fick's Law transpiration flux equation.
This work also describes for the first time a complete PR-4 gene family in cacao, an important crop that may be used as plant model of fruit tree according to recent studies [ 47].
In order to assess the predictors of fruit choice, an elastic net regression model (Supplementary Table S2) was chosen by cross validation from a full model of fruit choice by prime, hunger, order, gender, BMI, age, education, all food goal measures, all evaluative priming task trial type reaction times and the rating of the belief of an association between health and taste.
The calls focused on increasing fruit and vegetable availability and accessibility in the home, increasing parental role-modeling of fruit and vegetable consumption, and enhancing supportive food routines around the home, such as eating dinner as a family without the television on.
The Hackathon brought together researchers interested in developing executable models of the fruit fly brain.
