Background Little is known about rice consumption, related food intake patterns, and the nutritional contribution that rice provides in the diets of Americans. Objective To provide information about rice consumption in the United States and the diets of rice consumers. Design Data come from the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (1994-1996) and the National Health and Nutrition Ex...

abstract the effect of different larval density of chilo suppressalis walker was evaluated through 2006-2008 on rice infestation in controlled condition of the cages. the results indicated that there were significant effects between dead hearts, white heads and crop yield. the highest dead hearts and white heads were related to the treatment of 32 larvae per m2 and the lowest ones were obtained...

The weaning of piglets is often associated with digestive disorders, particularly diarrhea--postweaning colibacillosis (PWC)--which is caused by infection with enterotoxigenic strains of Escherichia coli. It has been shown previously that a diet for newly weaned pigs based on cooked white rice and animal protein decreases the occurrence of PWC, whereas the addition of carboxymethylcellulose (CM...

This article investigates the super-resolution phenomenon using the celebrated statistical estimator LASSO in the complex valued measure framework. More precisely, we study the recovery of a discrete measure (spike train) from few noisy observations (Fourier samples, moments, Stieltjes transformation...). In particular, we provide an explicit quantitative localization of the spikes. Moreover, o...

abstract      background and objective: aluminum phosphide (alp) is a solid non-organic phosphide with dark gray or dark yellow crystals. it reacts with stomach acid after ingestion and causes phosphine gas to be released. it is thought that phosphine causes toxicity from enzymatic interference and may even lead to cell death. this study aimed to investigate the effects of poisoning with rice t...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of isolated protein from white rice on lipid metabolism in a hypercholesterolemic animal model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups and fed either a normal diet or a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) containing either casein or isolated rice protein for 4 weeks. Compared with rats fed a HCD with casein, the total cholesterol (TC...

Rice is predominantly a starch richendosperm portionof paddy (Oryza sativa). It is an important cereal used as staple food by over half of the world population. About 90% of dry matter of milled rice is starch and the rest are non-starch components like protein, lipids and ash. Most of the rice based products in Indian sub continent especially in southern part of India are made from rice flour ...

This paper reports a soil-based bioassay of rice husk bio-ash impacts on redox properties and rice production. Bio-ash was produced during the pyrolytic process of rice husk as a boiler fuel, after which it was applied as an amendment to a flooded soil. Bio-ash was amended before rice transplanting at different mass rates including 0%, 0.1%, 1% and 5%, which was defined as T1, T2, T3, and T4 re...

A study was carried out to determine the health effects of rice husk dust in Malaysian rice millers. The study population consisted of 122 male Malay workers from three rice mills, with 42 controls of similar age, sex, ethnic group, and agricultural work background. Interviews using standardised questionnaires, physical examination, total and differential white cell counts, chest radiographs, a...
