Germinated Legumes (Mung Bean and Cowpea) as Potential Commodities for Preparing Complementary Baby Foods

Legumes and pulses have high nutritive values and functional properties that exert positive effects on health and nutrition. This study developed a novel complementary baby food using germinated mung bean and cowpea as sources of extra nutrients supplemented to the infants (aging 6-12 months). The carbohydrate contents of mung bean and cowpea showed 64.3 and 64.0% reduction, respectively, durin...

Search for Fractionally Charged Particles in Showers of Low Density

A search was made for relativistic qnarks of charge e/3 in cosmic-ray showers at sea level. A hodoscope of wire proportional counters was used, which was capable of measuring location and specific ionization of several particles arriving simultaneously, An upper limit for the Qux of quarks observed singly in the apparatus was established, with 90% confidence, at 1.9x10 ~ sec cm sr . Correspondi...

Maternal Periodontal Disease as a Potential Risk Factor for Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight

Background and Aim: Periodontal disease may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight (LBW) or preterm birth (PTB). In the present study, mothers with one of these two delivery complications were analyzed regarding presence/absence of periodontal disease as a possible risk factor in comparison with related medical risk factors.   Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectiona...
