Recent Tendency of Oilseed Protein Utilization

Predicting Ash Deposit Tendency in Thermal Utilization of Biomass

In thermochemical utilization of biomass, ash produced during the process is a major problem that can result in decreased performance and increased in difficulty during operation. Preliminary assessment of potential ash related troubles prior to the use of a specific biomass is valuable, even if it is only a general guideline. In this work, tendency of ash slagging, fouling and agglomeration in...

Recent Genetic Gains in Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Oilseed Rape

Nitrogen is essential for plant growth, and N fertilization allows farmers to obtain high yields and produce sufficient agricultural commodities. On the other hand, nitrogen losses potentially cause adverse effects to ecosystems and to human health. Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is vital to solve the conflict between productivity, to secure the demand of a growing world population, a...

Clustering tendency in the protein fold space

Several non-redundant ensembles of protein three-dimensional structures were analyzed in order to estimate their natural clustering tendency by means of the Cox-Lewis coefficient. It was observed that, despite proteins tend to aggregate into different and well separated groups, some overlap between different clusters occurs. This suggests that classifications bases only on structural data canno...

Recent Advances in Fat Utilization by Poultry

Fats are added to poultry diets as a source of energy and essential fatty acids. Ldditionally fats aid in reducing dustiness of most diets and at low levels act as a lbricant for the pellet die. Fat utilization is affected by a number of factors including fat omposition, bird age, bird species, intestinal status and composition of the diet into which fat is incorporated. In general, young birds...
