The effects of dough fortification with different amounts of gluten and full fat soya flour on the quality of spaghetti were investigated. Rheological properties of dough, quality and sensory characteristics of spaghetti with different amounts of gluten (8 to 14%) and full fat soya flour (0 to 20%) were evaluated. Fortification caused improvement in some characteristics such as dough stability ...

1. Thirteen normo-cholesterolaemic male students consumed one 450 g can of baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in tomato sauce, daily, for 14 d as part of their normal diet. After a 14 d washout period, eleven of the students went on to consume one 440 g can of spaghetti in tomato sauce, daily, for 14 d. 2. Fasting blood samples were taken frequently for measurement of plasma cholesterol, high-den...

BACKGROUND Managing "spaghetti syndrome," the tangle of therapeutic cables, tubes, and cords at patients' bedsides, can be challenging. OBJECTIVES To assess nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of a novel banding device in management of spaghetti syndrome. METHODS A simple color-coded elastomeric banding strap with ribbed flaps was attached to bed rails of adult critical care patients t...

Theoretical work predicts that individuals should strategically increase their reliance on social learning when individual learning would be costly or risky, or when the payoffs for individually-learned behaviors are uncertain. Using a method known to elicit cumulative cultural evolution in the laboratory, we investigated the degree of within-group similarity, and between-group variation, in de...

SPAGHETTI is a computer program to simulate genetic populations with segregating molecular markers that are influenced by "real-life" complications such as duplicated loci and segregation distortion. It produces output that is readable by popular mapping software, and it can be used to demonstrate or test methods for constructing genetic linkage maps. The source code, sample files, instructions...

Background: Spaghetti wrist is a sharp volar wrist laceration in which at least 10 structures, including tendons, at least one major nerve and usually one major vessel are divided. These injuries are usually accompanied with severe permanent complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spaghetti wrist injury in Iran and find ways to decrease complications and obtain better results. ...

Process Mining techniques aim at building a process model starting from an event log generated during the execution of the process. Classical process mining approaches have problems when dealing with Spaghetti Processes, i.e. processes with little or no structure, since they obtain very chaotic models. As a remedy, in previous works we proposed a methodology aimed at supporting the analysis of ...

The influence of 0-27 g/100g of full-fat soy flour (FFSF), 31-35g/100g of water content and extrusion conditions on the textural characteristics of spaghetti were evaluated. Process was performed with screw speed of 10-40 rpm and water circulating temperature of 35-70. This enrichment resulted in significant differences in mechanical strength and cutting parameter. Based on the mixture surface ...
