The state of Arizona has created a unique water management tool in response to water scarcity and population growth. In 1994, Arizona’s state legislature authorized the creation of long-term storage credits (LTSCs) through aquifer recharge with Colorado River water or effluent. LTSCs represent a quantity of water the owner is entitled to recover and use once the water has remained underground for a full calendar year. Owners may also sell their LTSCs to others by a simple credit account transfer. LTSCs have emerged as a tool for water users to achieve compliance with groundwater regulations in the most populated areas of the state, such as the cities of Phoenix and Tucson. Using data collected and maintained by the state’s water resources regulator, this study examines sales of LTSCs to reveal patterns of market-based transactions. Analysis of 23 years of public records shows several trends: (1) LTSC transactions have been increasing since 2003; (2) municipal water providers and investment firms have been active participants in LTSC transactions; (3) the greatest transaction volumes involve governmental entities established by state law with groundwater recharge and replenishment obligations. This analysis reveals how LTSCs have contributed to achieving water policy goals in Central Arizona and suggests how the LTSC system can be used to improve water use efficiency through voluntary redistribution in other water scarce regions.

A comparative study of the state of preservation of hydromedusae has been made based on a collection that has been preserved for 80–90 years. A report has been compiled in tabular form concerning the state of the collection in relation to the present pH of the preserving fluid. Recommendations are made based upon which fixative and preserving fluids have proved to be best for long-term storage.

Fresh horticultural goods often require drying post-harvest to preserve quality and allow for successful long-term storage of plant material. Given the influx of hops cultivation in the state of Florida, this 5-page publication will help Florida hops growers and hobby brewers to understand how to efficiently dry hops prior to storage.

Considerable soil carbon research has occurred in Australia in recent years. A review of published literature suggests there are gaps in both the collection of associated data and the long-term storage of soil carbon data, thus limiting the potential use of these data beyond the original purpose. A more co-operative approach between researchers and pedologists is essential to ensure maximum value is obtained from research investment. Further capacity needs to develop to capture data from all sources and especially non-government scientists. ASRIS can be the national focal point; it is recommended that it be more effectively utilised as a data management tool for Australian soil carbon data.

Determining the quality of fruit and vegetable  products  and their storage is a topical problem, as evidenced by a significant number of works from near and far abroad. These works present  the  worldwide experience of using various optical methods for instrumental non-destructive assessment of the maturity and commercial quality of fruit and vegetables. Despite so many scientific works on this topic, the thermographic methods require further research to find out the prospects of using modern thermal imaging systems in the agricultural sector. The paper studies the possibility of using remote-sensing infrared thermography to monitor the state of vegetables, fruit, and plants during their growth and storage. To determine the quality of fruit and vegetable products by random sampling, apples, pears,  and  pumpkins, with no external (visible) damage, were tested for the presence of microbial infections in them during rotting. In a laboratory environment, the plants were studied after watering to determine the process of  hydration through the trunk and leaves and thus assess their condition. The research used a matrix infrared thermograph developed by V.Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The studies have shown that infrared thermography detects internal damage to fruit and vegetables and allows assessing the watering of plants and their condition. As a result of this work, it has been shown that infrared thermography, as a diagnostic method, can be recommended for timely detection of the internal development of microbial infections that lead to spoilage of  vegetables  and fruit during long-term storage, as well as for monitoring the state of plants during their hydration. It has been shown that infrared thermography can be used to control the quality of fruit and vegetable products before putting them  in long-term storage and during it. The method allows timely detection of damage, and is helpful in studying plants in the laboratory and in the field.

Large-scale and purposeful work on the development of new apple cultivars has been carried out at Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding since 1956. Over a long period of time, 55 apple cultivars of different fruit maturation periods were created and included in the state register of breeding achievements approved for use (zoned). Apple cultivars with fruits capable of long-term storage in refrigerator are of particular interest. Cultivars fruits of which can store until mid-March or longer include zoned cultivars: Aleksandr Boiko, Den Pobedy, Kulikovskoe, Ministr Kisilev, Sinap Orlovsky, as well as Zhdanovskoe, which is passing state testing. The article provides a brief description of six cultivars and a more complete characteristic of new cultivar Zhdanovskoe. Triploid cultivar Sinap Orlovsky is included in the state register in four regions of Russia, Kulikovskoe – in three regions, Svezhest - in two regions while Aleksandr Boiko, Den Pobedy, Kulikovskoe and Ministr Kisilev are included in the state register only in the Central Chernozem region. Zhdanovskoe, which is passing state testing, is also of interest for industry. Its fruit are stored in the refrigerator till mid-March. Among the listed cultivars there are 5 triploid cultivars, including 2 triploid cultivars that are immune to scab. It is known that triploid cultivars are prone to more regular fruiting over the years and have larger and more marketable fruits, and the introduction of scab-immune cultivars into widespread production improves the environmental situation in the orchard and provides cleaner products. The primary task of breeding institutions and production is to give these cultivars a comprehensive assessment.

A model of moisture movement in wood is presented in this paper in a two-dimensional-in-space formulation. The finite-difference technique has been used in order to obtain the solution of the problem. The model was applied to predict the moisture content in sawn boards from pine during long term storage under outdoor climatic conditions. The satisfactory agreement between the numerical solution and experimental data was obtained.
