The nutrient intakes of fifty-four hyperactive children during a baseline period and while following the hyperkinesis diet were calculated. During both periods, mean dietary intakes compared favorably with the Recommended Dietary Allowances. A comparison of three-day food records showed that, relative to baseline values, nutrient intakes did not change significantly while the children followed ...

Root influx parameters (Vmax and Km) of wheat (Triticum aestivum var. HD-2285) were determined at different stages of crop growth, viz. CRIS-Crown Root Initiation Stage, MTS-Maximum Tillering Stage, FLS-Flag Leaf Stage and DFS-Dough Formation Stage. Wheat was grown in sand medium with Hoagland nutrient solution (all nutrients except potassium). Plants were taken out from sand culture at 22, 41,...

A study was conducted to evaluate the nutrient content and variability of distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) originating from new (less than 5 yr old) ethanol plants in Minnesota and South Dakota. Ten plants (8 MN, 2 SD) participated in the study, submitting a total of 118 samples. Samples were collected every 2 mo from ten ethanol plants in the Minnesota-South Dakota (MNSD) region f...

Most models developed for poultry are linear to the point where genetic potential is reached. Models reliant on the premise that growth rate determines requirements based on some fixed rate of nutrient utilization do not adequately represent the biological phenomena involved. Therefore, a dichotomy between the accepted theories of nutrient utilization in animals and the assumptions of mathemati...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes gastrointestinal lesions, bleeding, diarrhoea and nutritional complications. Insufficient nutrient intake can additionally deteriorate nutritional status. The present cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether UC patients adhere to national dietary guidelines and to assess their dietary habits. An online questionnaire (n...

Eiszler, C.F. (2002). College students' evaluations of teaching and grade inflation. Research in Higher Education, 43(4), 483-501. This study examined the relationship between grades and students’ composite ratings of teaching effectiveness over a 20-year period at a comprehensive, public university in the upper Midwest. Between the spring of 1980 and the fall of 1999, students in more than 37,...

The body of information in this paper is directed to specialists in industrial health and safety, and air and water pollution, who need quantitative data on the odor thresholds of potentially hazardous chemical vapors and gases. The literature, largely unorganized, has been reviewed for 214 compounds and condensed into tables based on consistent units. Data on the volatility, solubility, ioniza...

This paper reviews published data that contributes to the knowledge of the ingredients and nutrients of Cameroon traditional dishes. Macronutrient (energy, carbohydrates, protein, total fat, fibre and ash) and mineral (iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, copper, manganese, potassium, sodium and selenium) data are presented for 117 commonly consumed dishes from three eco-regions. Tables ...
