A digital imaging technique was developed to quantify accurately the incidence of internal browning in potato tubers.
Browning implies physicality most eloquently through what he leaves out.
Digital imaging allowed for the determination of previously unused indices of the incidence and severity of internal browning in potato tubers.
Browning discusses a wide range of explanations for this behaviour, based on sociopsychological concepts, and argues that the most likely explanation is a mixture of peer-pressure, careerism and obedience.
Browning dramatizes here the way the desires of the material body threaten to overwhelm, even in death, the discriminations and control of spiritual and aesthetic values.
Damage (browning and defoliation) to a species at a site was considered light if < 33% of the combined leaf area of all trees from a species was damage.
The results from this study indicate that digital imaging of internal browning disorders of potato tubers holds much promise in determining their causes that heretofore have proved elusive.
Browning's "other embroilments" may well refer therefore to the growing controversy in the 1840s about sepulture and sepulchral style, about the appropriateness or otherwise of ornate tombs and canopies.
