S OF PAPERS 235 90 Creep compliance of chicken nuggets at different frying temperatures. T. Yalamanchili*1, P. Takhar2, and C. Z. Alvarado1, 1Texas A&M University, College Station, 2Texas Tech University, Lubbock. The texture of chicken nuggets is a very important attribute to consumers. However, there is little data indicating textural properties of chicken nuggets during frying utilizing cree...

A flat Lorentz space form is a geodesically complete Lorentzian manifold of zero curvature. It is well known (see Auslander & Markus [3]) that such a space M may be represented as a quotient R/Γ, where R" is an ^-dimensional Minkowski space (n equals the dimension of M) and Γ is a group of Lorentz isometries acting properly discontinuously and freely on R. In particular the universal covering o...

In vivo and ectopic encystment of the cercariae of Echinostoma revolutum from Lymnaea elodes snails in Indiana and chemical excystation of the metacercariae were studied. In vivo encystment occurred in adults of Biomphalaria glabrata and Helisoma trivolvis (Colorado strain) snails and in neonatal and juvenile L. elodes snails. These results were expected because 37-collar-spined Echinostoma spe...

There have been many studies involving frying of potato chips in various vegetable oils in order to observe the quality of the fried product [1-6]. Frying oils are exposed to extreme environmental conditions (air, water or steam, high temperatures of 140-200 °C), trace metals that result in degradation of the frying oil triacylglycerols by oxidation, polymerization, isomerization, cyclization a...

AIM To investigate the impact of physical frailty on risk of hospitalisation in cirrhotic patients on the liver transplant waitlist. METHODS Cirrhotics listed for liver transplantation at a single centre underwent frailty assessments using the Fried Frailty Index, consisting of grip strength, gait speed, exhaustion, weight loss, and physical activity. Clinical and biochemical data including M...

Self-employment is increasing among seniors. The percentage of individuals age 62 and over who were self-employed increased from 4.2 percent in 1988 to 5.4 percent in 2015. In contrast, the percentage of individuals under age 62 who were self-employed decreased from 7.2 percent in 1988 to 6.0 percent in 2015. This report explains the increase in self-employment among individuals age 62 and over...

The benefits of low glycemic load (GL) diets on clinical outcome in several metabolic and cardiovascular diseases have extensively been demonstrated. The GL of a meal can be affected by modulating the bioavailability of carbohydrates or by changing food preparation. We investigated the effect on plasma glucose and insulin response in lean and obese women of adding raw or fried extra-virgin oliv...
