I. The effects of processing cereals on aspects of rumen metabolism, physiology and pathology were investigated in five experiments with lambs. Three experiments studied the effects of diets containing loose whole, pelleted whole or pelleted rolled barley on rumen volatile fatty acid ratios, rumen pH and digestibility. In a 4th experiment the effects, on the same measurements, of pelleting whol...

Abstract Strategies to increase the bio-functionality of staple food, such as bread, by incorporating whole-grain wheat flour or from other, non-wheat grains instead refined are often constrained with lack their techno-functionality, despite associated beneficial effect on consumers' health and well-being. Most available studies investigating possibilities improve technological sensory quality ...

In order to solve some problems in managing and parallel processing of global expanding remote sensing data, introduces the spatial subdivision organization framework. Firstly, analyzes the spatial properties of subdivision cell and its significant advantages in parallel processing. Then, discusses subdivision template and template parallel processing mode for remote sensing image. And a templa...

PURPOSE Underlying mechanisms of the beneficial health effects of low glycemic index starchy foods are not fully elucidated yet. We varied the wheat particle size to obtain fiber-rich breads with a high and low glycemic response and investigated the differences in postprandial glucose kinetics and metabolic response after their consumption. METHODS Ten healthy male volunteers participated in ...

A series of in-frame and nested deletion mutations which progressively removed 5'-proximal sequences of the Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) HC-Pro coding region (1152 nucleotides) was constructed and evaluated for pathogenicity to wheat. WSMV HC-Pro mutants with 5'-proximal deletions of 12 to 720 nucleotides systemically infected wheat. Boundary sequences flanking the deletions were stable and...

‎we present an application of the dual gabor frames to image‎ ‎processing‎. ‎our algorithm is based on finding some dual gabor‎ ‎frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the‎ ‎underlying hilbert space‎. ‎the advantages of these duals‎ ‎constructed by a polynomial of gabor frame generators are compared‎ ‎with their canonical dual‎.

Parental, F(1) , F (2) , BC (1) and BC (2) generations of four crosses involving four cultivars of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) were evaluated at two sites in Tunisia. A three-parameter model was found inadequate for all cases except crosses Chili x Cocorit 71 at site Sidi Thabet and Inrat 69 x Karim at both sites. In most cases a digenic epistatic model was sufficient to explain variatio...

The cultivation and processing of grain is probably one of the most important technological achievements on humanity‘s path to modern civilization. 10,000 years ago, the first grains were already being cultivated in the Middle East, leading to the development of the first advanced civilizations. Today, various types of grains have become staples worldwide and thus essential to the basic livelih...
