OBJECTIVES Almond (Prunus amygdalus) hull and shell are agricultural by-products that are a source of phenolic compounds.The processing of almond produce shell and hull, accounts for more than 50% by dry weight of the almond fruits. Recently, more studies have focused on the influence of storage conditions and postharvest handling on the nutritional quality of fruits, especially the antioxidant...

Let k be an algebraically closed (commutative) field, let A be an associative k-algebra, and let M = {M1, . . . , Mp} be a finite family of left A-modules. We study the simultaneous formal deformations of this family, described by the noncommutative deformation functor DefM : ap → Sets introduced in Laudal [8]. In particular, we prove that this deformation functor has a pro-representing hull, a...

Abstract In this study, the bioaccessible total phenolic compounds (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AC) of commonly consumed bakery products enriched with raw (BH) or roasted (RBH) buckwheat hull were evaluated. The soluble insoluble fractions obtained after in vitro enzymatic digestion mixed rye/wheat bread 4% RBH (BRBH), wheat 3% BH (BBH), their control counterparts separated (C-BRBH C-BBH, re...

Classic convexity can be extended to graphs in a natural way by considering shortest paths, also called geodesics: a set S of vertices of a graph is convex if it contains all the vertices lying in some geodesic with endpoints in S and the convex hull of a set S of vertices is the minimum convex set containing S. Farber and Jamison [9] characterized the graphs such that every convex set is the c...

Recently introduced invariants copoint pre-hull number and convex pre-hull number are both numerical measures of nonconvexity of a graph G that is a convex space. We consider in this work both on the Cartesian and the strong product of graphs. Exact values in terms of invariants of the factors are presented for the first mentioned product. For strong product it is shown that such a result does ...

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was used to increase the shelf life of fresh in hull pistachio nuts (Pistacia vera L.), meeting the market demand for fresh high quality products. Fresh in hull pistachio nuts were stored at 5°C and three different gaseous conditions including 10% O2, 20% CO2 and 70% N2 (MAP1), 100% CO2 (MAP2) and ambient atmosphere for 42 days. The samples of 300 g of pistac...

this study was conducted to assess the in vitro organic matter digestibility (omd) of pistachio hull using rumen fluid of taleshi sheep. animals were fed diets composed of 34% pistachio hull, 29% grape pomace, 32% alfalfa, and 5% grain barley. the chemical composition and phenolics' levels of pistachio hull, either industrially dried pistachio hull (idph) or sun dried pistachio hull (sdph)...

to study the chemical composition and qualitative comparison of the pistachio by-products and the effect of pistachio hull tannin on its digestibility and gas production, four experiments were carried out. in the first experiment, nutrient composition, phenolic and tannin components of the ohadi, kaleghuchi and white varieties of pistachio by-product from dehulling process were measured. pistac...

We discuss the Heston [Heston-1993] model with stochastic interest rates driven by Hull-White [Hull,White-1996] (HW) or Cox-Ingersoll-Ross [Cox, et al.-1985] (CIR) processes. Two projection techniques to derive affine approximations of the original hybrid models are presented. In these approximations we can prescibe a non-zero correlation structure between all underlying processes. The affine a...
