The study was conducted to determine the effect of sesame flour supplementation on the physical, nutritional and sensory quality of bread. Black variety sesame seeds were soaked, dehulled, oven dried and sieved to produce sesame flour (SF). The wheat flour (WF) was substituted with SF at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%. The proximate composition of wheat and sesame flours and bread samples were determined...

Phyllody, a destructive and economically important disease worldwide caused by phytoplasma infections, is characterized by the abnormal development of floral structures into stunted leafy parts and contributes to serious losses in crop plants, including sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). Accurate identification, differentiation, and quantification of phyllody-causing phytoplasmas are essential for ef...

The present study aimed to investigate the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of sesame in a high-fat fed rabbit model. Animals were randomly divided into four groups of eight animals each for 60 days as follows: normal diet, hypercholesterolemic diet (1% cholesterol), hypercholesterolemic diet (1% cholesterol) + sesame seed (10%), and hypercholesterolemic diet (1% cholesterol) + sesame oil (5%). Seru...

Abstract Background The aim of this study is a comparison between some different protein sources in sheep rations to identify the best source that achieves highest production performance and lowest economical feed efficiency. Twenty Farafra male lambs weighed on average 41.39 ± 1.66 kg were divided randomly into four similar groups 5 animals each. All fed concentrate mixture (CFM) at 3% their b...

Estradiol decreases meal size, food intake, and body weight in female rats. To investigate whether these effects of estradiol involve a change in the sensitivity of the signaling pathway through which pancreatic glucagon released during meals contributes to meal termination (satiation), glucagon or glucagon antibodies were infused via the hepatic portal vein in ovariectomized rats that were chr...

This paper presents some motivations for using highly personalised speech interfaces. In particular, the focus is on the requirements for adaptation in mobile environments. Furthermore, SesaME, a framework for personalised and adaptive speech interfaces is described. SesaME supports a multi-domain approach and eventbased, asynchronous dialogue management. Finally, a description of how SesaME is...

1 Two trials were conducted to evaluate sesame seed meal (SSM) replacement of broiler diets ingredients. The 1 st trial included 5 major dietary treatments using 360 day old Ross commercial broilers: 1) Corn + soybean meal (SBM) "control diet"; 2) Corn + SSM; 3) Corn + [50% SBM + 50% SSM]; 4) Corn + [25% SBM + 75% SSM]; and 5) Corn + [75% SBM + 25% SSM]. Each treatment was then divided into 4 s...
