Oat flour, the by-product resulting from commercial production of oat bran, was analyzed to contain 7.7% moisture, 11% CP, 6% crude fat, 8.8% NDF, 1.56% ash (.10% Ca, .23% P), 4,265 kcal/kg GE, .41% lysine, .36% threonine, .17% tryptophan, .21% methionine and .34% cystine. Chick bioassays revealed that lysine and threonine were the first- and second-limiting amino acids in oat flour. Slope-rati...

Two class-separability criteria based on the divergence measure are proposed to improve speech recognition performance. The average and weighted average divergence measures are used as criteria for nding a transformation matrix which maps the original features into a more discriminative subspace. Results are presented for a highly confusable task. Address correspondence to: Philipos C. Loizou D...

Increased synthesis of ornithine aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.13] (OAT) in the kidney of pyridoxine-deficient rats has been reported previously (Ikeda, M. and Okada, M. (1985): J. Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol., 31, 553-561). In this report the effects of 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine (T3) and estradiol on OAT activity in the kidney of rats given pyridoxine-deficient and control diets were studied. T3 induced ...

among cereals, oats are unique for their benefiting from high protein as well as lipid content. however, insufficient gluten content creates a big challenge to making breads out of this kind of cereals. flour made of one type of bread wheat cultivar plus two types of improved oat lines were employed in this study to make composite oat-wheat flour bread. according to the data obtained from farin...

the present pot experiment was undertaken to investigate the phytoremediation potential of corn and oat in soil. treatments consisted of four cadmium (cd) levels (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg l 1) and three irrigation intervals (1, 3 and 7 days), arranged in the form of a complete randomized design with three replications. corn and oat were harvested after 75 and 90 days, respectively. transpiration rate...

This greenhouse experiment aimed to investigate the effects of poultry manure (PM) on the growth of oat plant (Avena sativa) and removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) from soil. The treatments consisted of three TPH levels (4%, 6%, and 8% w/w) and two PM levels (zero and 1%) at three replications. According to the findings, shoot height, number of leaves, and the fresh and dry...
