Nuts are part of a healthy diet such as Mediterranean diet. Benefits of nuts in reducing the risk of heart disease has been reasonably attributed to their composition of vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, fiber and phytochemicals such as polyphenols, tocopherols, squalene and phytosterols. More than 75% of total fatty acids of nuts are unsaturated. αtocopherol is the main tocopherol i...

The objective of this work was to study the effect pistachio by-product flour (PBF) addition wheat on rheological properties dough. Pistachio levels used were: 0 (C), 5 (P5), 15 (P15), and 25 g/100 g (P25). Alveographic farinographic assays, gluten, moisture content (H), dough pH were studied. In addition, texture profile analysis, dynamic rheology relaxation performed. water absorption, develo...

Modification of soybean hulls with citric acid (CA) improves the metal ion binding capacity of the hulls. A process for this modification has been developed. However, the process must be optimized for it to be cost effective. In this regard, the objectives of this study were (1) to develop a wash procedure to remove non-reacted or residual CA after soybean hull modification in order to maximize...

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of substituting corn with soybean hulls on the ingestive behavior and nitrogen balance of Santa Ines lambs. A total of 25 lambs with an initial body weight of 20±2 kg at approximately six months of age, sheltered individually in stalls (1.10 m×1.0 m), considering an entirely casual experimental delineation. Soybean hulls were substituted for ...

Depth and visual hulls are useful for quick reconstruction and rendering of a 3D object based on a number of reference views. However, for many scenes, especially multi-object, these hulls may contain significant artifacts known as phantom geometry. In depth hulls the phantom geometry appears behind the scene objects in regions occluded from all the reference views. In visual hulls the phantom ...

Let (X,Γ) be a uniform space with its uniformity generated by a set of pseudo-metrics Γ. Let the symbol “ ' ” denote the usual infinitesimal relation on ∗X, and define a new infinitesimal relation “ ≈ ” on ∗X by writing x ≈ y whenever ∗ρ(x, p) ' ∗ρ(y, p) for each ρ ∈ Γ and each p ∈ X. We call (X,Γ) an S-space if the relations ' and ≈ coincide on fin(∗X). S-spaces are interesting because their n...

Soybean hulls have been successfully fed to ruminant animals as an economical substitute for hay. This feedstuff is a source of highly digestible fiber that does not contain starch. The purpose of this trial was to evaluate soybean hulls as a replacement fiber in horse diets. Four cecally cannulated Quarter Horse geldings, aged 6 to 10 yr and averaging 502 kg, were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square ...

Effects of percentage of roughage on growth, serum urea N, NEFA, and IGF-1 concentrations and wool, carcass, and fatty acid (FA) characteristics were investigated in Rambouillet wether lambs (n = 33). Lambs were individually fed ad libitum pelleted diets for 98 d containing 40% dried distillers grains and other ingredients, with 10% (CSH10), 20% (CSH20), or 30% (CSH30) cottonseed hulls replacin...

In this paper, we provide an abstract characterization of the inverse hulls semigroups associated with Markov shifts. As application give example shifts that are not conjugate, but have isomorphic hulls.
