wheat is one of the important food staff in consumption pattern of each country. more than 50 % of human energy is supplied from bread in the developing country. combine losses is less than 2-3% in developed countries, while in developing country is about 15-20% in different regions and circumstances of harvesting seasons and field conditions. in this research project that effect of combine typ...

Desirable grain quality attributes vary depending upon the intended end use of grain. Environment, production practices and genetics are all of importance. Nutritional value of grain is most important for animal feed. Dry mill and alkaline cooked products require hard kernels with low breakage susceptibility and high protein concentration. Grain for these uses would best be produced under dryla...

Electron micrographs of directcarbon replicas having magnifications of 5400 to 23, 500 times reveal in detail the grain size, shape, and packing of the particles comprising very fine-grained limestones. At these magnifications, however, only portions of a few grains in mediumor coarsegrained limestones can be observed. Grain contacts are mostly curvilinear in very fine-grained limestones but ar...

Milled rice kernels have been shown to rapidly fissure and eventually break when exposed to certain air conditions (Stermer 1968, Kunze and Hall 1967, Siebenmorgen et al 1998). Milled kernels rapidly gain or lose moisture from the environment depending on the air temperature and relative humidity (RH) of the surrounding air, as well as the moisture content (MC) of the kernels (Kunze and Choudha...

We describe the shear flow of a disordered granular material in the presence of grain fracture using the shear-transformation-zone theory of amorphous plasticity adapted to systems with a hard-core interparticle interaction. To this end, we develop the equations of motion for this system within a statistical-thermodynamic framework analogous to that used in the analysis of molecular glasses. Fo...

[1] We report on laboratory experiments designed to investigate the strength evolution and formation mechanisms of cataclastic deformation bands hosted in unlithified sand, with particular focus on the role of grain breakage. Cataclastic deformation bands are characterized by particle size reduction and increased resistance to weathering compared to parent material. We recovered bands intact fr...
