Cereal Chem. 86(4):470–476 The degree of similarity between rice milled in a McGill #2 laboratory mill and commercial milling processes was evaluated using eight physical, physicochemical, and end-use properties. There was no statistical difference between the two milling systems with respect to color parameters L* and a*, final viscosity, texture, and end-use cooking properties (α = 0.05). Ove...

Incidence vs Cumulative Cases (ICC) curves are introduced and shown to provide a simple framework for parameter identification in the case of most elementary epidemiological model, consisting susceptible, infected, removed compartments. This novel methodology is used estimate basic reproduction ratio recent outbreaks, including ongoing COVID-19 epidemic.
