BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer is unusually frequent in Western Kenya, despite the low prevalence of classical risk factors such as heavy drinking and tobacco smoking. Among Kenyans consumption of fermented milk is an old tradition. Our hypothesis is that alcohol and acetaldehyde are produced during the fermentation process and that their carcinogenic potential contributes to the high incidence o...

Determination of the starter torque-speed diagram is a major task in the design or selection of a proper gas turbine starter. In this paper, the maximum power of the MGT-40 gas turbine starter was calculated based on the dynamics of the rotor, start-up logic, and compressor map. In a recent research, the pressure ratio was assumed as a linear function of the rotor speed and the required sta...

Dozier, III, A. J. Davis, and M. E. Freeman, University of Georgia. According to a popular benchmark reporting service, a diverse array of metabolizable energy values is being used in formulating di...

they should immediately start to drink and eat. A dense starter feed, high in energy and protein (with appropriate amounts of lysine and threonine), highly digestible for young chicks, is essential to reach target bodyweight. The high energy content of a starter diet should never be achieved by adding fat or oil containing saturated fatty acids, because young chicks cannot digest them. Vegetabl...

Three-hundred-seventy-eight, 18-21 day-old, pigs were used to evaluate subsequent weanling pig performance, during the second and third dietary phases, following initial phase 1 exposure to a commercial pelleted starter (CS) diet or farm processed wheat/barley/dried whey based starter diets prepared with, or without, spray dried porcine plasma (PPLS). One-half of the pigs in each treatment also...

We introduce the concept of a 2-starter in a groupG of odd order.We prove that any 2-factorization of the complete graph admitting G as a sharply vertex transitive automorphism group is equivalent to a suitable 2-starter in G. Some classes of 2-starters are studied, with special attention given to those leading to solutions of some Oberwolfach or Hamilton–Waterloo problems. © 2005 Elsevier Inc....

In this research, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of white brined cheeses produced with five different starter cultures, namely: traditional kefir grain, commercial kefir, commercial yogurt, traditional yogurt and commercial cheese starter culture, were examined during 60-day ripening period. Results of statistical analysis showed that the type of starter culture had a signific...

Recognized to confer health benefits to consumers, probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus are commonly incorporated into fermented dairy products worldwide; among which yogurt is a popular delivery vehicle. To materialize most of the putative health benefits associated with probiotics, an adequate amount of viable cells must be delivered at the time of consumption. However, the loss in th...

Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were tested as the starter yeasts in a traditional cachaça distillery. The strains used were S. cerevisiae UFMG-A829, isolated from a cachaça fermentation process, and S. cerevisiae K1V1116, obtained from the wine industry. The permanence of each strain in the fermentation must was determined by RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA)-PCR, with primer M13. B...

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Standard und das Werkzeug eCH0096 BPM Starter Kit vorgestellt. Standard und Werkzeug wurden in der Schweiz ausgehend von der E-Government-Strategie des Bundes erarbeitet. Es war eCH, das Standardisierungsorgan der Schweiz zu E-Government und E-Health, welches das Standard Werkzeug in der Geschäftsarchitekturund -prozessgruppe von eCH entwickelte. Eine Nutzung is...
