The effects of black rice powder on the quality of sausage were investigated. Samples were prepared with 0% (control), 1%, 3%, and 5% black rice powder. With increasing black rice powder content, the moisture and ash content of sausage increased, while protein content was significantly less than that observed for the control (p<0.05). The fat content in samples containing 5% black rice powder w...

An experiment was conducted to examine the digestible energy (DE) content for weanling pigs in a cohort of wheats grown in Western Australia, and to establish relationships between DE content and their chemical composition. The 3 ✕ 3 ✕ 2 factorial experiment examined the wheat variety (Arrino, Stiletto and Westonia), growing location (high, medium and low rainfall zone) and harvest year (1999 a...

Many online content providers aim to compensate for a loss in advertising revenues by charging consumers for access to content. However, such a choice is not straightforward because subscription fees typically deter customers and a resulting decline in viewership further reduces advertising revenues. This research examines whether firms that offer both free and paid content can benefit from adj...

Dockets1 are traditional paper means for supporting speci c classes of work ows which concentrate on content and its value for individuals and organizations. A docket prescribes and nally documents some content reviewing process which is part of a larger value chain. Since contents represent essential investments they are carefully protected by principles like autonomy and ownership. However, v...

A content provider may join or leave a federation at any time and may be part of more than one federation at the same time. Content providers may also cease as organizations altogether, freeing their domain names for use by others. In addition, content identifiers are spread throughout the members of a federation. These identifiers are stored on various media, sometimes for long durations befor...

Material written for traditional textbooks is increasingly being made available via online textbooks. Such material still uses text and drawings to explain concepts. In contrast, material written natively for the web can use less text and drawings, and instead use animations, responsive questions, and interactive exercises. This work compares the lesson effectiveness of electronic textbooks hav...

Results Preanalytic testing: MIRIS was capable to measure bovine protein dissolved in water accurately. Impreciseness started after adding 0.5g P+ to HM-fortifier mixtures and revealed up to 20% difference after addition of 4.0g P+. Native HM (FMS group, n=67) contained in mean 1.1±0.3g protein, 3.1±0.8g fat, 6.6±0.3g lactose, 11.7±0.8g of dry mass and 59±10kcal per 100ml HM. After fortificatio...

Obese adolescents are at risk of developing NAFLD and type 2 diabetes. We measured noninvasively the IHF content of obese adolescents to ascertain whether it is associated with insulin resistance and abnormal energy homeostasis. IHF content, whole body energy homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and body composition were measured using localized hepatic (1)H-MRS, indirect calorimetry, fasting-deri...

iron deficiency in soil reduces the quality of durum wheat leading to fe deficiency in human. thus, this experiment investigated the effects of foliar application of nano-iron oxide (2 and 4 g l-1), iron chelate (edta), (4 and 8 g l-1), iron sulfate (4 and 8 g l-1), and the control on grain yield and quality, yield components, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, peroxidase (pox), catalase (ca...
