Abstract:
The medieval English romance The King of Tars gives an account of a birth of a lump of flesh. This has been considered as fantastic and monstrous in past literature, the horrific union of a Christian and Saracen. However, while the text certainly speaks to miscegenation, we propose that this lump of flesh is actually a hydatidiform mole. We trace the hydatidiform mole from antiquity, surrounding it with contextual medieval examples, from theology, history and medicine, that also describe abnormal births as ‘lumps of flesh’. By discussing medieval ideas of monsters as a warning sign, we interpret the lump of flesh in terms of abnormal births, seed transmission, parental contribution and sin. Ideas of warning, blame and intervention present themselves as a response to moles both in medieval texts as well as in modern reactions to hydatidiform moles. We explore the epigenetics of hydatidiform moles and relate them to the medieval text. In The King of Tars, the fault for the lump of flesh could reside with either parent; we find that this is also the case in the genetic formation of the hydatidiform mole; we also argue that the epigenetics supports medieval theories of seed transmission.

Abstract:
Saint Paul's "thorn in the flesh" has been the subject of much controversy in medical, historical and religious literature. It was crucial for the development of Paul's theology and, therefore, its study is important for a better understanding of early Christianity. The purpose of this article is to review the available evidence on this issue, perform a historical and medical critical analysis and suggest plausible diagnosis that have not been previously published in scientific literature. Our research on primary sources seem to indicate that in 41–42 AD Paul of Tarsus developed a clinical picture with a pain similar to that of a thorn injury and bad physical appearance. It could also have a chronic course with a limited number of relapses and few global. It could remind Job’s illness and provoke humiliation in Paul and repulse in his audience. Multiple diseases could explain some of these data, but fewer explain all of them. Though a definitive diagnosis cannot be achieved, we think that cutaneous disorders are the most obvious candidates for a humiliating and painful disease which, however, would permit long journeys during more than a decade. Disorders with cutaneous involvement like lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, urticaria/angioedema, leukocytoclastic vasculitis or nodular vasculitis should be added to other possibilities previously reported.

Abstract:
Abstract This essay analyses the biblical promise and ethic of Christian animism: because everything God made is a bearer of the Holy Spirit human beings are obligated to care for creation. Three points are made. a) A retrieval of the Spirit’s disclosure of herself in the biblical literatures as one with the four cardinal elements —Earth, air, water, and fire. b) An analysis of how the Spirit is the “soul” of the Earth—the breath of creation—and the Earth is the “flesh” of the Spirit—the living landscapes of divine presence. c) A study of the significance of the church surviving in a period when the message of the Gospel is fundamentally threatened; this is the alarming status confessionis of our time. The hope of Christian animism—the vision of a shared and verdant Earth saturated with divine presence—is the ground for religiously charged transformative responses to the crisis of unsustainable living today.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to analyse the way Shakespeare’s work reveals the failure – in both private and public lives – of a system of thought in which the body is construed as a mere receptacle of immaterial and “superior” entities, supposedly governed by rational kinds of political and social power. After a brief consideration of Measure for Measure as a play focused on the political danger of denying the material aspect of the individual, The Winter’s Tale will be seen as presenting a similar problem. Here, the aspiration to an ideal of absolute purity and the consequent demonization of the sexualized flesh, deriving from both Puritan theology and neo-Platonic philosophy, merges with the anxiety towards the “rebellious” body fostered by sixteenth century medical science, constituting the disruptive force that initiates the plot. This attitude of denial of the body, linked to political power, leads to both a psychological breakdown and, in the public sphere, to a regime of tyranny.

Abstract:
Danny Luzon, “The Language of Transcendentalism: Mysticism, Gender, and the Body in Julia Ward Howe’s The Hermaphrodite” (pp. 263–290) This essay studies the idea of a “third” sex adapted by Julia Ward Howe and other American transcendentalists from the language and theology of European mysticism. It explores Howe’s design of a nonbinary gender category through her dialogue with the figure of the hermaphrodite in the mystic tradition. Specifically, I look at Howe’s unfinished “Laurence manuscript” (written throughout the 1840s and first published in 2004 under the title The Hermaphrodite), tracing how it gives shape to unique intersex modes of knowledge and expression. The novel’s intersex protagonist, who repeatedly claims “I am no man, no woman, nothing,” allows Howe to productively utilize a language of negation and multiplicity, making the apophatic quality of mystic speech, as well as her protagonist’s denial of intelligibility, into a means of spiritual transcendence. In doing so, Howe marks gender categories as dwelling beyond social expression, away from phallocentric discursive constraints and their production of fixed dualistic concepts. Her mystic phenomenology elucidates the indeterminacy of gender, revealing it as something that cannot be adequately conceptualized in language. Howe’s prose thus produces complex dynamics between the spirit and the flesh, in order to free both the self and the body from the sociolinguistic restrictions of social intelligibility.

Abstract:
Resumo: Grande parte da obra de Rubem Alves é dedicada ao campo educacional. Coerente com toda a sua produção em diversas áreas com Teologia, Psicanálise e Literatura infantil, neste campo ele fez uma crítica mordaz ao pensamento conservador, lançando mão do uso de imagens que dão um brilho único a suas reflexões. Ele utilizou as figuras de Pinóquio e Leonardo da Vinci para criticar a pedagogia tradicional: Pinóquio às avessas para mostrar que as escolas transformam seres de carne e osso em “bonecos de pau”; Leonardo da Vinci como exemplo de como uma educação que valorize o prazer e o desejo e a imaginação da criança pode formar adultos criativos e cada vez mais originais e humanos. Palavras-chave: Rubem Alves. Pedagogia. Desejo. Prazer. Imaginação. Abstract: Much of Rubem Alves’ work is dedicated to Education. In this field – in a way that is consistent with all of his production in several other areas such as Theology, Psychoanalysis and Children’s Literature – he made a scathing criticism of conservative thinking by making use of images that are a hallmark of his thought in this area. He used the figures of Pinocchio and Leonardo da Vinci to criticize traditional pedagogy: A Pinocchio in reverse shows that schools transforms beings of flesh and bones into “wooden puppets”; and Leonardo da Vinci serves as an example of how an Education that values pleasure, desire, and children’s imagination could develop creative and increasingly unique and human adults. Keywords: Rubem Alves. Pedagogy. Desire. Pleasure. Imagination.

Abstract:
This article attempts to set forth the possibility, the legitimacy and the practical outworking of what could be called a ’critical hermeneutics of the Spirit’ in contradistinction to a ’hermeneutic of the flesh’. After a definition of the terms ’flesh’ and ’spirit’, the article proceeds to a description of life and activity according to the Spirit whose most salient characteristics are that the ’body of sin is rendered inoperative’ (Romans 6.6) with the result that there is clarity of mind. Errors in interpreting the Sacred Text can come about because of faulty information about and from the Text or because of the interference of the flesh. The drives of the flesh that most inhibit an understanding of the realities mediated by the Text are self-seeking, ignorance of one’s own sinfulness, sloth and prejudice. Prejudice can be philosophical (epistemological and historical) and literary (restricting oneself to a discussion of ’text’ rather than reality mediated by the text). As an example of both ‘explaining’ and ’understanding’ a biblical text, Hebrews 10.40-10 is studied with the goal of letting the text be ’adversarius noster’ and move us to a spiritual understanding of not only what the text says but also what it is talking about.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper investigates the theme of sense and nonsense as it pertains to the phenomenological problem of “flesh.” It raises two sets of questions: 1) What is the relation of flesh to body and body to flesh? It is possible to admit the materiality of the corporeal condition while maintaining the phenomenological privilege of flesh and life? Or must one deny the privilege of flesh in favor of a more moderate “balance” of flesh and body? 2) How does the phenomenality of flesh and body go together with the theological reality of the Incarnation of the Word? How is the passage into theology effected in phenomenology when it is a question of body and flesh? The article objects to Emmanuel Falque’s interpretation of Michel Henry, enters into recent scholarship relating phenomenology and cognitive science, and questions whether incarnation can be adequately described by a phenomenology in which perception is ultimate.

Alexis-Baker, Andy. "The word became flesh| An exploratory essay on Jesus's particularity and nonhuman animals." Thesis, Marquette University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3736243.

Full text
Abstract:

In this exploratory work I argue that Jesus’s particularity as a Jewish, male human is essential for developing Christian theology about nonhuman animals.

The Gospel of John says that the Word became “flesh” not that the Word became “human”. By using flesh, John’s Gospel connects the Incarnation to the Jewish notion of all animals. The Gospel almost always uses flesh in a wider sense than meaning human. The Bread of Life discourse makes this explicit when Jesus compares his flesh to “meat,” offending his hearers because they see themselves as above other animals. Other animals are killable and consumable; humans are not.

The notion that the Word became flesh has gained prominence in ecotheology, particularly in theologians identifying with deep Incarnation. Unless this notion is connected to Jesus’s particularity, however, there is danger in sacrificing the individual for the whole. We can see this danger in two early theologians, Athanasius and St. John of Damascus. Both of these theologians spoke of the Word becoming “matter”. Yet they ignored Jesus’s Jewishness and rarely focused on his animality, preferring instead to focus on cosmic elements. Consequently they often devalued animal life.

Jesus’s Jewishness is essential to the Incarnation. His Jewishness entailed a vision of creation’s purpose in which creatures do not consume one another, but live peaceably by eating plants. This Jewish milieu also entails a grand vision for transformation where predators act peaceably with their former prey.

Jesus’s maleness is also connected to his Jewishness. In the Greco-Roman context in which he lived, his circumcision marked him as less male and more animal-like. Moreover, Jesus’s Jewish heritage rejected the idea of a masculine hunter. His theological body was far more transgendered and connected to animality than the Roman ideal.

Finally, Jesus’s humanity entails a kenosis of what it means to be human. By becoming-animal he stops the anthropological machine that divides humans from animals. We see this becoming animal most clearly in his identity as a lamb, but also in Revelation’s idea that he is both a lion and a lamb. His eschatological body fulfills the Jewish vision for creation-wide peace.

Full text
Abstract:
While remembered chiefly as a writer of fiction and poetry and as a member of the Inklings, Charles Williams (1886–1945) also deserves critical attention and analysis as a prolific and successful playwright, who made a unique and insufficiently recognised contribution to both the specific revival of religious verse drama and to the broader development of modern drama in the earlier part of the twentieth century. It is in his plays that Williams is best able to realize his unique literary and theological vision of what he termed Co-inherence. This belief in the mutual interdependence of the spiritual and physical realm, where the natural and supernatural co-exist, arose from Williams’s particular understanding of the Incarnation: the Word made flesh in the person of Christ. In striking and distinctive contrast with his prose and poetry, it is in the physical realm of the theatre that Williams was able to create, in live performance, an aesthetic of co-inhered flesh that physically embodied his unique incarnational theology. After first locating Williams’s plays within the context of his contemporary verse dramatists and religious thinkers, and surveying the extensive critical and biographical literature relevant to this topic, and establishing the key elements of his incarnational theology, the development and realization of his performance theology of co-inhered flesh is traced in its evolving complexity and various facets, expressions and characterisations through an investigation of all of Williams’s known plays, including his published and recently re-discovered unpublished works, and by considering five key aspects of his dramatic realization of his theory: his vision of the City, his notion of love, his sense of time, his apprehension of the Deity, and his understanding of the nature of evil.

McBlane, Angus. "Corporeal ontology : Merleau-Ponty, flesh, and posthumanism." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2013. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/56960/.

Full text
Abstract:
As posthumanism has developed in the last twenty-five years there has been hesitation in elucidating a robust posthumanist engagement with the body. My thesis redresses this gap in the literature in three intertwined ways. First, it is a critical assessment of posthumanism broadly, focusing on how the body is read in its discourse and how there is a continuation of a humanist telos in terms which revolve around the body. Second, it is a philosophical interrogation, adaptation, and transformation of aspects of the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, focusing its reading on Phenomenology of Perception and The Visible and the Invisible, with additional material drawn from his works on language, aesthetics, and ontology. Third, it is a critical analysis of four films drawn from that seemingly most posthumanist of genres, science fiction: Cronenberg's eXistenZ, Spielberg's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Rusnak's The Thirteenth Floor, and Oshii's Ghost in the Shell. Science fiction is the meeting place of popular and critical posthumanist imaginaries as the vast majority of texts on posthumanism (in whatever form) ground their analyses in a science fiction of some kind. By reading posthumanism through the work of Merleau-Ponty I outline a posthumanist ontology of corporeality which both demonstrates the limitations of how posthumanism has done its analyses of the body and elucidates an opening and levelling not adequately considered in posthumanist analyses of the body. Following Merleau-Ponty I argue that there is a ‘belongingness of the body to being and the corporeal relevance of every being’, yet, the body is not the singular purview of the human. There are alternative embodiments and bodies which have been previously overlooked and that all bodies (be they embodied organically, technologically, virtually or otherwise) are corporeal.

Full text
Abstract:
Pedestrians struck by a vehicle frequently sustain lower limb injuries. Moreover, the biomechanics of the lower limb under lateral impact influences the trajectory of the pedestrian and subsequent injuries to the pelvis, thorax, and head. In order to increase the understanding of injury mechanisms in the lower limb, a finite element (FE) model of the lower limb was developed. The geometry of the bones and flesh was originally obtained from the Visible Human Project Database and was scaled to a 50th percentile male. The geometry of the knee ligaments was originally obtained from the 3D-CAD-Browser Database and was scaled according to the published anatomical data to align with the bones and the corresponding insertion sites. The FE mesh consists mostly of hexahedral elements which was developed using a structural mesh generator. The material and failure properties were initially selected from the literature and were later tuned based on the validation tests. The FE model was validated using the literature data and several cadaveric component tests performed specifically for model development and evaluation. The validation tests included quasi-static and dynamic lateral three-point-bend tests of the femur and the leg with flesh, and lateral four-point-bend tests of the knee joint.

Abstract:
While the appeal of ‘civilisational dialogue’ is on the rise, its sources, functions, and con- sequences arouse controversy within and between faith communities. Some religious lead- ers have attempted to clarify the religious foundations for such dialogue. Among them are Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Britain and the Commonwealth, Edward Idris, Cardinal Cassidy of the Catholic Church, and Fethullah Gülen. The paper compares the approach of these three religious leaders from the Abrahamic tra- dition as presented in their scholarly works – Sacks’ The Dignity of Difference, Cardinal Cassidy’s Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue, and Gülen’s Advocate of Dialogue. The discussion attempts to answer the following questions: Can monotheistic traditions accom- modate the dignity of followers of other monotheistic and polytheistic religions as well as non-theistic religions and philosophies? Is a belief in the unity of God compatible with an acceptance of the religious dignity of others? The paper also explores their arguments for why civilisational and interfaith dialogue is necessary, the parameters of such dialogue and its anticipated consequences: how and how far can dialogue bridge the claims of unity of God and diversity of faiths? Islam’s emphasis on diversity and the Quran’s accommodation of ear- lier religious traditions put Islam and Fethullah Gülen in the best position to offer a religious justification for valuing and cherishing the dignity of followers of other religions. The plea for a dialogue of civilizations is on the rise among some policymakers and politi- cians. Many of them believe a dialogue between Islam and the West has become more urgent in the new millennium. For example following the 2005 Cartoon Wars, the United Nations, the Organization of the Islamic Conferences, and the European Union used a joint statement to condemn violent protests and call for respect toward religious traditions. They pled for an exchange of ideas rather than blows: We urge everyone to resist provocation, overreaction and violence, and turn to dialogue. Without dialogue, we cannot hope to appeal to reason, to heal resentment, or to overcome mistrust. Globalization disperses people and ideas throughout the world; it brings families individuals with different beliefs into close contact. Today, more than any period in history, religious di- versity characterizes daily life in many communities. Proponents of interfaith dialogue claim that, in an increasingly global world, interfaith dialogue can facilitate mutual understanding, respect for other religions, and, thus, the peaceful coexistence of people of different faiths. One key factor for the success of the interfaith dialogue is religious leaders’ ability to provide an inclusive interfaith theology in order to reconcile their commitment to their own faith with the reality of religious diversity in their communities. I argue that prominent leaders of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) are already offering separate but overlapping theologies to legitimize interfaith dialogue. A balanced analysis of multi-faith interactions is overdue in political science. The discipline characterises religious interactions solely from the perspective of schism and exclusion. The literature asserts that interactions among believers of different faiths will breed conflict, in- cluding terrorism, civil wars, interstate wars, and global wars. According to this conven- tional depiction, interfaith cooperation is especially challenging to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam due to their monotheism; each claims it is “the one true path”. The so-called “monothe- istic exclusion” refers to an all-or-nothing theological view: you are a believer or you are an infidel. Judaism identifies the chosen people, while outsiders are gentiles; Christians believe that no salvation is possible outside of Jesus; Islam seems to call for a perennial jihad against non-Muslims. Each faith would claim ‘religious other’ is a stranger to God. Political “us versus them” thinking evolves from this “believer versus infidel” worldview. This mindset, in turn, initiates the blaming, dehumanizing, and demonization of the believers of other reli- gious traditions. Eventually, it leads to inter-religious violence and conflict. Disputing this grim characterization of religious interactions, scholars of religion offer a tripartite typology of religious attitude towards the ‘religious other.’ They are: exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism. Exclusivism suggests a binary opposition of religious claims: one is truth, the other is falsehood. In this dichotomy, salvation requires affirmation of truths of one’s particular religion. Inclusivism integrates other religious traditions with one’s own. In this integration, one’s own religion represents the complete and pure, while other religions represent the incomplete, the corrupted, or both. Pluralism accepts that no religious tradi- tion has a privileged access to religious truth, and all religions are potentially equally valid paths. This paper examines the theology of interfaith dialogue (or interfaith theology) in the Abrahamic religions by means of analyzing the works of three prominent religious lead- ers, a Rabbi, a Pope, and a Muslim scholar. First, Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Britain and the Commonwealth, offers a framework for the dialogue of civilizations in his book Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations. Rather than mere tolerance and multiculturalism, he advocates what he calls the dignity of difference—an active engagement to value and cherish cultural and religious differences. Second, Pope John Paul II’s Crossing the Threshold of Hope argues that holiness and truth might exist in other religions because the Holy Spirit works beyond the for- mal boundaries of Church. Third, the Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen’s Advocate of Dialogue describes a Muslim approach to interfaith dialogue based on the Muslim belief in prophecy and revelation. I analyze the interfaith theologies of these religious leaders in five sections: First, I explore variations on the definition of ‘interfaith dialogue’ in their works. Second, I examine the structural and strategic reasons for the emergence and development of the interfaith theologies. Third, I respond to four common doubts about the possibility and utility of interfaith di- alogue and theologies. Fourth, I use John Rawls’ overlapping consensus approach to develop a framework with which to analyze religious leaders’ support for interfaith dialogue. Fifth, I discuss the religious rationales of each religious leader as it relates to interfaith dialogue.

Abstract:
Recent research on behind-armor blunt trauma (BABT) has focused on the personal protection offered by lightweight armor. A finite element analysis was performed to improve the biofidelity of the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) human torso model to prepare for simulating blunt chest impacts and BABT. The overly stiff linear elastic material models for the torso were replaced with material characterizations drawn from current literature. FE torso biofidelity was determined by comparing peak force, force-compression, peak compression, and energy absorption data with cadaver responses to a 23.5 kg pendulum impacting at the sternum at 6.7 m/s. Nonlinear foam, viscous foam, soft rubbers, fibrous hyperelastic rubbers, and low moduli elastic material were considered as material models for the flesh, organs, and bones. Simulations modifying one tissue type revealed that the flesh characterization was most crucial for predicting compression and force, followed closely by the organs characterizations. Combining multiple tissue modifications allowed the FE torso to mimic the cadaveric torsos by reducing peak force and increasing chest compression and energy absorption. Limitations imposed by the Lagrangian finite element approach are discussed with potential workarounds described. Proposed future work is split between considering additional impact scenarios accounting for position and biomaterial variability.

Abstract:
Abstract Apple is an important fruit worldwide with nutrition and a huge market value. However, due to the mechanical damage during its handling after the harvest, millions of dollars are lost in the apple industry. Bruise (subcutaneous) is a mechanical damage caused to a fruit without any tearing of the fruit-skin. It could be caused by a mechanical impact, vibration, or compression which the fruit might come across during its handling after the harvest. It results in local degradation of the flesh tissue with browning effect with time. Normally, apple bruises take place beneath the peel and are difficult to detect by either visual or automatic color sorting. Thermal imaging offers a promising, contact-free, alternative technique for bruise detection in apples. Thermal imaging technique measures infrared energy emitted from the object surface which is converted into a thermal map called a thermogram. In the literature, there has been some work done on the influence of temperature and relative humidity of the surrounding on bruise susceptibility of fruits. In this paper, the influence of relative humidity in bruise development on apple was investigated applying thermal imaging technique. To accomplish this, two batches of healthy, almost same-sized, yellow and green apples with ten apples per batch were considered. The apples were subjected to a mechanical impact by dropping them from a constant height ensuring the fruit skin is not torn by the impact and the impact is same is for all the apples. Then, they were thermal imaged with the focus on their bruises. They were kept and observed at two different temperatures and relative humidity. The first set involved the relative humidity of 40–43% with room conditions whereas the second one involved the relative humidity of 80%–82% in the freezer compartment of a domestic refrigerator. For all the trials, the same condition was maintained for the fruits throughout the three-day observation. At the end of stipulated observation period, the fruits were thermal imaged to capture the bruise development for the different relative humidity levels for two different temperatures. The observation was repeated for three times to obtain the repeatability. The results show that the bruise development is faster for the higher relative humidity than for the lower one. This could be due to the lower transpiration rate of water from the fruits at higher relative humidity. Also, the water potential under the bruised skin decreases faster for lower relative humidity condition which results in decreased bruise development.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents a product design journey for a group of undergraduate sophomore university students as part of their Geometrical Modeling for Mechanical Design course. The course project aimed to help students to use basic process of engineering design, use a computer aided design (CAD) tool to model their product, engineering analysis tools to evaluate their design, and understand the need for prototyping. The students started their journey with ideas tournament to select an outstanding idea which would be of a great market value. After intensive consultation with the course instructor and implementing a stringent selection criterion, students chose to design a novel tool changer that incorporates two different grippers with varying performance specifications. The students followed a systematic approach that got them involved in doing very thorough literature review in which they classified most of the grippers and tool changers available in the market. They also sensed how their product could be demanded in industrial applications where the utilization of a single gripper would demonstrate inconvenience. Such industrial sectors would be surgical operations where the operator would require a gripper to hold the flesh and another for cutting or stitching or any other surgical tasks, another application would be welding where a gripper is required to hold the metallic parts and another for performing the welding task. The utilization of two grippers with various designs would also expands the range of tasks that could be accomplished, for instance, a lot of manufacturing facilities requires performing internal and external gripping operations as is the case in car manufacturing, the tool Cha design introduced in this paper would facilitate such tasks by enabling the capability of simultaneous utilization of an internal and an external gripper. This design will also be beneficial in the current global pandemic where human interaction would be a genuine menace. The systematic approach helped the students also to establish target specifications for their product, decompose the product into different subsystems and explore the whole design space of each subsystem. All concept solutions (fragments) of all subsystems were then compiled in a combination table to select the product final concept and in turn finalize product specifications. After selecting the preferred combination of concept solutions, a CAD model was established to run the necessary simulations prior to realizing it into a tangible product through either additive manufacturing (3d printing) or subtractive manufacturing (milling, turning, or EDM). Realizing that many aspects of the product design journey cannot be covered in this course, the students were eager to see how other upcoming courses would help in letting them to carry out more sophisticated tasks in the product design process.

Abstract:
Objectives: The objectives of the proposal were to study how potassium (K) enters the berry and in what tissues it accumulates, to determine what is the sensitive phenological stage that is responsive to K, to study the influence of K on sugar translocation, to determine if K has effects on expression of genes in source and sink organs and to study applied aspects of the responses to K at the vineyard level. During the research it was realized that K acts externally so a major part of the original objectives had to be deserted and new ones, i.e. the role of K in enhancing water loss from the berry, had to be developed. In addition, the US partners developed practical objectives of understanding the interaction of K application and water deficit as well as application of growth regulators. Background: In our preliminary data we showed that application of K at mid-ripening enhanced sugar accumulation of table grapes. This finding is of major implications to both early and late harvested grapes and it was essential to understand the mode of action of this treatment. Our major hypothesis was that K enters the berry and by that increases sugar translocation into the berry. In addition it was important to cover practical issues of the application which may influence its efficacy and its reproducibility. Conclusions: The major conclusion from the research was that our initial hypothesis was wrong. Mineral analysis of pulp tissue indicated that upon application of K there was a significant increase in most of the major minerals. Subsequently, we developed a new hypothesis that K acts by increasing the water loss from the berry. In vitro studies of K-treated berries corroborated this hypothesis showing greater weight-loss of treated berries. This was not necessarily expressed in the vineyard as in some experiments berry weight remained unchanged, suggesting that the vine compensated for the enhanced water loss. Importantly, we also discovered that the efficacy of different K salts was strongly correlated to the pH of the salt solution: basic K salts had better efficacy than neutral or acidic salts and modifying the pH of the same salt changed its efficacy. It was therefore suggested that K changes the properties of the cuticle making it more susceptible to water loss. Of the practical aspects it was found that application of K to the clusters was sufficient to trigger its affect and that dual application of K had a stronger effect than single application. With regard to timing, it was realized that application of K after veraison was affective and the berries responded also when ripe. While the effect of K application was significant at harvest, it was mostly insignificant one week after application, suggesting that prolonged exposure to K was required. Implications: The scientific implications of the study are that the external mineral composition of the berry may have a significant role in sugar accumulation and that water loss may have an important role in sugar accumulation in grapes. It is not entirely clear how K modulates the cuticle but according to the literature its incorporation into the cuticle may increase its polarity and facilitate generation of "water bridges" between the flesh and the environment. The practical implications of this study are very significant because realizing the mode of action of K can facilitate a much more efficient application strategy. For example, it can be understood that sprays must be directed to the clusters rather than the whole vines and it can be predicted that the length of exposure is important. Also, by increasing the pH of simple K salts, the efficacy of the treatment can be enhanced, saving in the costs of the treatment. Finally, the ability of grape growers to apply K in a safe and knowledgeable way can have significant impact on the length of the season of early grape cultivars and improve the flavor of high grape yields which may otherwise have compromised sugar levels.
