Rice Fortification in Developing Countries

Alternate strategies for improving iron nutrition: lessons from recent research.

Strategies such as dietary diversification and food fortification have yielded significant results in controlling iron deficiency anaemia in developed countries. Reducing the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia in developing countries is still a matter of importance. The major factors responsible for iron deficiency anaemia in the vulnerable segments of developing countries are reduced intake...

Fortification of rice: technologies and nutrients.

This article provides a comprehensive review of the currently available technologies for vitamin and mineral rice fortification. It covers currently used technologies, such as coating, dusting, and the various extrusion technologies, with the main focus being on cold, warm, and hot extrusion technologies, including process flow, required facilities, and sizes of operation. The advantages and di...

UAV Cooperative Decision and Con- trol: Challenges and Practical Approaches

Broadly considered, the field of cooperative decision and control covers those interdisciplinary methods that can be used for the operation of semi-autonomous agents deployed to achieve a common objective. By joint exploiting the agents’ capabilities, it is expected that the combined effort of the team can exceed the sum of its parts. Harnessing this potential benefit is however challenging due...
