A ham and cheese sandwich every day. Fried chicken and pork rinds. White rice, white bread, and few leafy greens. Soft drinks with every meal. When interviewers asked a nationwide sample of Cubans what they ate on a typical day, and what they would put on a daily menu if they could choose whatever they wanted, these were among the top responses. Results of that landmark study revealed that a ma...

the aim of this study was to determine the formulation of silver carp fish cracker and checking qualitative changes of cracker in the four time intervals (0, 30, 60 and 90 days), during storage at room temperature. treatments consisted of dried cracker (drying time 2 hours), cracker were fried (drying time 1 hour) and the final treatment was drought cracker that fried at the end of each period....

This paper shows how multispectral images can be used to assess color change over time in wok fried vegetables. We present results where feature selection was performed with sparse methods from the multispectral images to detect the color changes of wok fried carrots and celeriac stored at +5°C over 14 days. A pairwise t-test was used to detect if the differences over days were significant. For...

The Dwyer–Fried invariants of a finite cell complex X are the subsets Ωr(X) of the Grassmannian of r-planes in H1(X,Q) which parametrize the regular Zr-covers of X having finite Betti numbers up to degree i. In previous work, we showed that each Ω-invariant is contained in the complement of a union of Schubert varieties associated to a certain subspace arrangement in H1(X,Q). Here, we identify ...

A food poisoning outbreak affected 114 female Malay students staying in a religious secondary school hostel in Klang. The students developed an illness mainly characterized by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and giddiness. The median incubation period in this outbreak was 2.5 hours. Laboratory examination of suspected food revealed 2.3 X106 Bacillus cereus organisms per gram of fried noodles. ...

Reconstruction of an image (or shape or wavefront) from measurements of the derivatives of the image in two orthogonal directions is a common problem. We demonstrate how a particular reconstructor, commonly referred to as the Fried algorithm, can be used with megapixel derivative images to recover the original image. Large datasets are handled by breaking the derivative images into smaller tile...

Few studies have assessed the dietary Practices of people with diabetes during Ramadan (1). A sub study of Ramadan prospective diabetes study (2) which was conducted at the outpatient department of Baqai Institute of Diabetology and endocrinology, Karachi Pakistan in 2009 analyzed the food choices of patients with diabetes during Ramadan. Several irregularities regarding dietary intake and food...

An LC-MS/MS method for analysis of cereulide, an emetic toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, was developed. Cereulide was extracted from samples, fried rice, pan-fried noodles, red bean paste and baby formula, with methanol and purified using Oasis HLB cartridges. LC separation was performed on a C18 column with a mixture of formic acid solution and methanol containing ammonium formate as a mobil...
