The present invention is in the area of agriculture and more specifically is directed to a method for improving the culture of the edible fig (Ficus carica). As currently grown in California, the fig tends to have a rather short season so that fresh fruit is available only sporadically. The present invention provides a comprehensive method for improved culture of edible figs to provide fresh fruit throughout the year. The method specifies optimum methods for establishing and maintaining orchards. The method includes steps for extending fruit production into the winter. The method includes steps for enhancing fruit quality especially antioxidant compounds which are believed to be beneficial to human health. The method includes steps ensuring that fresh fruit will have an extended storage life. All of these factors contribute to higher yield and higher overall profitability.

A sapphire substrate having one principal surface on which a nitride semiconductor is grown, said one principal surface having a plurality of projections. Each of the projections has a generally pyramidal shape with a not truncated, more sharpened tip and with an inclined surface composed of a crystal growth-suppression surface that lessens or suppresses the growth of the nitride semiconductor and also which has an inclination change line at which an inclination angle discontinuously varies.

The invention relates to the field of mushroom cultivation technologies, in particular to a method for manufacturing edible mushroom solid liquefied strains. The method comprises the steps that first-level liquid strains are inoculated into a culture flask, and liquid spawn is obtained; a solid cultivation material is prepared, the liquid spawn is cultured in strain bottles, the cultivation temperature ranges from 22 DEG C to 25 DEG C, cultivation is conducted in a dark place, the cultivation humidity ranges from 50% to 60%, and the strains can grow full of the strain bottles after being cultured by 20-30 days; the strain bottles filled with the strains and having no infectious microbe are selected, and the strains are crushed in a pulverizer and inoculated into sterile water for direct production and inoculation. The method for manufacturing the edible mushroom solid liquefied strains has the advantages that the strain running speed is high and is 1/3 higher than that of solid strain running, 3-4 times of expansion inoculation are not needed, the strain contamination problem caused in the expansion inoculation process is solved, and time needed by expanding propagation is saved; growing points are more than the growing points of common liquid strains, strain running is uniform, the strain ages are consistent, produced mushrooms are orderly and good in quality, and fruit body yield can be improved by 20%-30%; sterile water is adopted for liquefying mycelia, molds and other infectious microbes can not grow, and contamination can be reduced by 5%-10%.

A composite sealant of the present invention increases a fracture toughness of glass which has an excellent gas tightness but has a low fracture resistance, to enhance the thermal cycle stability while maintaining the gas tightness of a stack. For this, alpha-alumina fiber particles, alpha-alumina granular particles, and metallic particles are mixed and added to a glass matrix for remarkably increasing the fracture toughness from 0.5 MPa·m05 to 6 MPa·m°'5 through the multiple effects of crack deflection and crack bridging by the fiber and granular particles, and effects of crack arresting and plastic deformation by the metallic particles. When using the high fracture toughness composite sealant of the present invention, since the gas tightness and the stability of the stack can be maintained even when there is a thermal stress produced by a non-uniform temperature distribution or a thermal cycle condition in the stack, increasing the fracture toughness of the composite sealant works as the most important factor for enhancing the reliability of a large-area stack.

In various aspects, the present invention is directed to a scalable method of producing rhamnolipids by bacterial fermentation with higher product concentrations, yields and productivities and preventing excessive foaming during the cell growth phase when the cell respiration rate is higher. It has been found that by slowing the growth rate of the bacteria by altering the ratio of the nitrogen source to the non-nitrogen source in the initial fermentation medium and supplementing the nitrogen source, excessive foaming in the growth phase can be prevented. Further, by using the non-nitrogen source as the limiting nutrient that initiates the stationary phase and then supplementing fermentation broth with the nitrogen and carbon sources, the length of the standing phase, and with it the time during which rhamnolipid production occurs can be greatly extended.
