Cereal Chem. 74(6):864–867 Rough rice (cv. Bengal) was stored at four moisture contents (8.8, 10.7, 12.9, and 13.6% MC) and three temperatures (3, 20, and 37°C) for up to six months. The amylograph overall paste viscosity of the milled rice increased during storage. This increase was most apparent in all samples stored at 37°C. For rice stored at 20 and 37°C at all MC levels, a 30–50% increase ...

Rice is harvested in the Mid-South at moisture contents (MCs) typically ranging from 13% to 22% (wet basis). Because these MCs are greater than those safe for long-term storage, rice is dried within a fairly short period after harvest to 12% to 13% MC before being placed in storage. Once dried, “processing” of rough rice into milled rice takes place throughout the year and consists of several o...

the forecasting of hydrological variables, such as streamflow, plays an important role in water resource planning and management. recently, the development of stochastic models is regarded as a major step for this purpose. streamflow forecasting using the arima model can be conducted when unknown parameters are estimated correctly because parameter estimation is one of the crucial steps in mode...

‎the aim of this paper is to study distribution of ratios of generalized order statistics from pareto distribution. parameter estimation of pareto distribution based on generalized order statistics and ratios of them have been obtained. inferences using method of moments and unbiased estimator have been obtained to develop point estimations. consistency of unbiased estimator has been illustrate...

We found novel vesicles derived from rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in rice endosperm. The novel vesicles had characteristic structures different from that of the ER-derived protein body type I and the Golgi-derived dense vesicles. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that the novel vesicles are derived directly from the aggregates of vacuolar storage proteins in the rough ER. In addition, Bi...

This paper presents an automatic FDP (Facial Definition Parameters) and FAP (Facial Animation Parameters) generation method from an image sequence that captures a frontal face. The proposed method is based on facial feature tracking without markers on a face. We present an efficient method to extract 2D facial features and to generate the FDP by applying 2D features to a generic face model. We ...

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 ...
