High summer temperature is one of the worst effects on greenhouse crop production throughout the year. The main purpose of this paper is to present some technologies and studies for greenhouse cooling in summer. In the paper, some applicable and practical cooling technologies have been discussed. The choice of efficient cooling method depends on many aspects, such as local climate, agronomic condition, design and covering materials. To achieve desirable benefits, the combination of different cooling methods is necessarily used. Analysis of earlier studies revealed that a naturally ventilated greenhouse with larger ventilation areas (15% - 30%), provided at the ridge and side covered with insect-proof nets of 20 - 40 mesh size with covering material properties of NIR (near infrared radiation) reflection during the day and FIR (far infrared radiation) reflection during night was suitable for greenhouse production throughout year in some special regions. Evaporation cooling is the most effective cooling method for controlling the temperature and humidity inside a greenhouse. However, its suitability is restricted to the respective region and climate when the humidity level is high. The entry of unwanted radiation or light can be controlled by the use of shading. Researches show that shade net application with different perforated mesh size and their evaluation with respect to local climate and region are necessary to get cooling benefits in summer.展开更多

Core-shell reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography separation of 10 free fatty acids is achieved within 10.5 min using a methanol/water (0.05% trifluoroacetic acid) eluent gradient. After optimization, the drift tube and nebulization temperature of the evaporative light-scattering detector was set at 35°C, nitrogen flow-rate at 1.1 standard liter per minute and column temperature at 25°C. All calibration curves showed good regression (r2 > 0.9975). A validation procedure following the International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines was implemented to certify the method. Relative standard deviations did not exceed 1.5% and 4.25% for repeatability and reproducibility respectively.展开更多
