A definition of whole grain is a critical first step in investigating health claims for whole grain and its products. Today, there is no internationally accepted definition of whole grain. Some existing definitions are broad and commodity-based, including grains with similar end uses, while others are more restricted. Scientific knowledge must be the basis for inclusion of certain grains. It is...

The Orion Nebula is the defining galactic HII Region, and has been well studied over a broad range of wavelengths. Many of its properties are well established. The gas-phase metallicity is roughly 2/3 of solar, close to that of the star cluster. There is no evidence that grains are destroyed anywhere in the Orion environment; refractory elements such as Ca and Fe remain heavily depleted. If the...

The eating behaviour of horses offered wheat distiller grains at varying levels in the concentrate was examined in two experiments. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of rate of inclusion and presentation (dry vs. soaked) of wheat distiller’s grains, and the responses in behaviour and processes of intake. In both experiments, the rates of inclusion were 1.00:0, 0.75:0.25, 0.5...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Changes in the pollinator communities of marginal plant populations can affect their pollination quantity or quality. Geographic variation in pollination success can alter the reproductive advantage that female plants require to persist within gynodioecious populations. Particularly valuable is determining the pollination success at the prezygotic stage in self-compatible g...

INTRODUCTION The type and amount of concentrate included in beef cattle diets can greatly influence production and profitability. Small grains are typically fed in these rations, but the inclusion of by-product feeds, such as wheat middlings (WM), in growing and finishing diets have recently been studied (Dalke et al., 1997; Blasi et al., 1998). Wheat middlings are the by-product of the wheat m...
