Rice kernel dimensions affect the performance of various post-harvest processes. This study assessed variability trends in kernel dimensional distributions of Bengal (medium-grain), Cypress, and Drew (long-grains) rice varieties. Rice was harvested at various stages of maturity from Stuttgart and Keiser, Arkansas during the autumns of 1998, 1999, and 2000. Brown rice kernel dimensions decreased...

The reader needs to be aware of the following information. On June 27, 2006, Cypress Bioscience Inc. announced “that the results of recently completed Phase IIa trials do not support continuing a development program evaluating combinations of mirtazapine with another approved drug as potential pharmaceutical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Cypress and Organon, the human healthcare...

Agents situated in dynamic and uncertain environments require several capabilities for successful operation. Such agents must monitor the world and respond appropriately to important events. The agents should be able to accept goals, synthesize complex plans for achieving those goals, and execute the plans while continuing to be responsive to changes in the world. As events render some current ...

Kernel-to-kernel moisture content (MC) distributions on panicles were measured for rice cultivars Bengal, Cypress, and Drew. Rice panicles in Arkansas were harvested at different stages of maturity from foundation seed fields at two locations with widely varying soils during the autumns of 1998, 1999, and 2000. The objective was to quantify variability of individual rice kernel MCs as affected ...
