Nitrogen (N) fertilization has been recognized as improving the grain beneficial micronutrients, including Zn and Fe, in rice. However, only a few studies have explicitly focused on N-induced variation anti-nutritional components such phytic acid (PA), PA synthesis-related gene expression, protein fractions. Therefore, this study, two culture systems (hydroponic detached panicle systems) were u...

Cereal Chem. 75(1):129–136 Several varieties of rough rice that were either stored for an extended period of time or freshly harvested were conditioned to initial moisture contents ranging from 10 to 17%. After the individual kernel moisture content distributions were measured, the samples were soaked in water at temperatures ranging from 10 to 40°C. The samples were then dried and milled. The ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation is critically important for global food security, yet it also represents a significant fraction of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water resource use. Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) of rice fields has been shown to reduce both methane (CH4) emissions and water use, but its effect on grain yield is variable. In this three-year study we measu...

PURPOSE To evaluate cellular activity in milled versus unmilled surface of the femoral head in 21 patients who underwent robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty(THA). METHODS The femoral head of 21 consecutive patients who underwent robot-assisted THA for osteonecrosis was used. 10 cc of trabecular bone from the entire milled surface was obtained using a curette. The same amount of trabecular b...
