Two feeding trials were conducted to evaluate the influence of dietary curcumin level on fish meal replacement with poultry by-product (PBM) in a largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) diet. In trial I, reference diet (R) contained 400 g/kg meal, and PBM replaced 60 80% (P16 P8). II, containing 80 (P8) served as control (C), was added at 5000 10000 mg/kg (C5 C10), respectively. Replacement sig...

In the field of nonstationary signal analysis and processing, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is frequently used to convert signals into time-frequency domain. The instantaneous frequency (IF) STFT defined as time derivative phase plays an important role in reassignment method synchrosqueezing (SST). this paper, we propose a framework design window function for computing IF STFT. Computing ...

BACKGROUND Whole-grain foods and cereal dietary fiber intake is associated with lower body weight. This may partly result from lower energy utilization of high-fiber diets. OBJECTIVE In the present study, the impact on ileal excretion of energy and macronutrients in response to a rye bread high-fiber diet compared to a refined wheat low-fiber diet was investigated. Furthermore, the effect of ...
