Abstract: An annular cylinder liner includes an annular body defining a longitudinal axis, a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, a circumferential direction, a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, and a liner length measured from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end along the longitudinal axis. The annular body also includes a shoulder that is disposed at the first longitudinal end, defining a shoulder axial thickness measured along the longitudinal axis. A ratio of the liner length to the shoulder axial thickness ranges from 24.0 to 46.0.

Abstract: Compositions comprising cellulosic polymers and natural honey that display reduced instability due to the presence of a chelant that inhibits the activity of naturally occurring cellulases are described. Methods of treating natural honey to inhibit cellulase activity comprising mixing the natural honey with a chelant and optionally heating the mixture are provided. Flavor compositions consisting of natural honey and a chelant, optionally in a carrier are further described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apple tree Malus domestica×Malus robusta hybrid named ‘G.213.’ ‘G.213’ is useful in that it can be propagated clonally and used as a rootstock or root system for apple trees as well as for interstems of apple trees. The new variety is a dwarfing rootstock that is resistant to fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) and crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apple tree named ‘G.814.’ ‘G.814’ is useful in that it can be propagated clonally and used as a rootstock or root system for apple trees as well as for interstems of apple trees. When used as a rootstock, ‘G.814’, is: dwarfing, induces scion precocity, is cold hardy, induces scion precocity, has a high yield efficiency, is tolerant to replant disease, and is resistant to: crown and root rot (Phytophthora cactorum), fire-blight (Erwinia amylovora), and powdery mildew. ‘G.814’ is susceptible to Apple Stem Grooving Virus (ASGV) and wooly apple aphid.
