Effect of Seed Treatment and Observation of Seeds Infested with Fusarium moniforme by Scanning Electron Microscope
This study was carried out to observe the propagule of Fusarium moniliforme on the surface of rice seed and in the vascular bundle of rice stem by scanning electron microscope. Spore and mycelium of F. moniliforme were observed on the surface of rice seed and in the vascular bundle of rice stem. After seed treatment with Benlate T and Busan 3D, F. moniliforme was not isolated from chaffs, but frequently from brown rice, irrespective of disinfection period.
The mechanical properties of injection molded parts in glass reinforced materials are sensitive to processing. A successful design requires a good estimate of the product performance before production. Its performance is strongly affected by the fiber orientation field set up during processing. The fiber orientation pattern is complex and varies three-dimensionally in the moldings. Some commercial simulation programs already allow the prediction of the fiber orientation induced during the flow by the associated stress field. The results from the simulations are dependent on a parameter accounting for the interactions between fibers during the flow, known as the fiber interaction coefficient. In this paper the effectiveness of the interaction parameter on controlling the predicted patterns of the fiber orientation is studied. This is done by comparing and analyzing the experimental data and the corresponding predictions.
