Consumption of mercury-contaminated rice could pose a potential health risk to humans. In this study, total mercury (THg) concentrations in various parts (roots, stems, leaves, and grains) plant (Oryza sativa) collected from Sekinchan, Selangor, Malaysia were analysed for assessment. The THg samples by Direct Mercury Analyzer (DMA-80). mean found as follows: root, 47.01±0.42 µg/kg; stem, 6.43±1...

Oceanobacillus picturae strain Heshi-B3 was isolated from rice bran in a traditional fermented seafood dish named Heshiko, which was produced in Fukui Prefecture in Japan. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of O. picturae strain Heshi B-3.

The component of protein in rice, at 7-9% by weight, is relatively low, but the total amount of rice protein potentially available is significant because the production of rice worldwide, at 380 million tons annually, is huge. Rice proteins are recognized as nutritional, hypoallergenic, and healthy for human consumption, and rice protein products have been in demand in recent years. However, be...

We consider samples of n geometric random variables (Γ1, Γ2,. .. Γn) where P{Γj = i} = pq i−1 , for 1 ≤ j ≤ n, with p + q = 1. The parameter we study is the position of the first occurrence of the maximum value in a such a sample. We derive a probability generating function for this position with which we compute the first two (factorial) moments. The asymptotic technique known as Rice's method...
