Cereal Chern. 81(3):345-349 Grain sorghum can be a major source of policosanols, long-chained alcohols, that have beneficial physiological activities. Sorghum dried distillers grains (DDG), a by-product of ethanol production from grain sorghum. contain a large amount of policosanols. Content and composition of policosanols in long-chained lipids extracted from grain sorghum kernels and DDG were...

Introduction The question of how altruism evolves despite selfish behaviors benefitting agents has for many years been the central theme in the fields such as biology, ecology, sociology, economy and psychology. Several mechanisms promoting the evolution of cooperation have been proposed and can be broadly classified into two categories: direct fitness benefits or indirect fitness benefits (Wes...

Changing to alternative protein sources supports production of more economic aquafeeds. Two isocaloric (3.06 kcal/g) and isonitrogenous (40% db) experimental feeds for juvenile yellow perch were formulated with incorporation of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC), each of which were at two levels (0 and 20% db), along with constant amounts of high protein distillers ...

This practice guideline on gestational diabetes is a treatment oriented short version of the evidence based guideline that can be viewed in the internet. It replaces the DDG and DGGG recommendations of 2001 for diagnostic and therapy of gestational diabetes. A complete rework had become necessary in view of epidemiologically based diagnostic criteria, which had been derived from the Hyperglycae...

This paper presents an agent-based resource scheduling algorithm for Grid computing systems. With this scheduling algorithm, the computational resources of the Grid can be dynamically scheduled according to the real-time working load on each node. Thus a Grid system can hold an excellent load balance state. Furthermore, the application of this algorithm is introduced into the practical protein ...
