Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Most species of plants can survive short dry periods without serious injury, but a prolonged period of soil water deficiency is highly injurious or lethal to all except those species of plants with a well-developed capacity for drought resistance... A fundamental factor in the drought resistance of plants therefore appears to be a capacity of the cells to endure a substantial reduction in their water content without suffering injury. 3, record 1, English, - drought%20resistance

Nitrogen factor is used to measure fish content in processed products like coated fish or fish fillet with added water. When fish is processed under wet conditions under good hygienic practice and good manufacturing practice, there may be some degree of water absorption and loss of soluble nitrogen. Nitrogen factors have been established for some fish species under GMP [good manufacturing practices] and GHP [good hygienic practices] and interim nitrogen factors are available for some species. 2, record 2, English, - nitrogen%20factor

Representative operating data for a six-effect set of evaporators are given in Table 10-1. As the solids content increases, so does the difference between the boiling liquor temperature and the condensing temperature of its associated vapor. This temperature difference(called the "boiling point rise") significantly reduces the available driving force for heat transfer in the higher-solids effects and is a major factor limiting the number of effects which are feasible in a set of evaporators. 1, record 12, English, - boiling%20point%20rise
