There is strong evidence that a diet high in whole grains is associated with lower body mass index, smaller waist circumference, and reduced risk of being overweight; that a diet high in whole grains and legumes can help reduce weight gain; and that significant weight loss is achievable with energy-controlled diets that are high in cereals and legumes. There is weak evidence that high intakes o...

BACKGROUND Studies of whole grain and chronic disease have often included bran-enriched foods and other ingredients that do not meet the current definition of whole grains. Therefore, we assessed the literature to test whether whole grains alone had benefits on these diseases. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the contribution of bran or cereal fiber on the impact of whole grains on the r...

The influence of starting surface topography on the nucleation and growth of epitaxial silicide layers was investigated. CoSi2 layers were grown via the template technique on one-dimensionally patterned Si~100! substrates. These substrates contained mesa stripes, running parallel to Si@011#, and exhibited either a number of Si $hkl% facets, or ‘‘smoothly varying’’ sinusoidal profiles. Conventio...

Assemblies of granular particles mechanically stable under their own weight contain arches. These are structural units identified as sets of mutually stable grains. It is generally assumed that these arches shield the weight above them and should bear most of the stress in the system. We test such hypothesis by studying the stress born by in-arch and out-of-arch grains. We show that, indeed, pa...
