The paper presents smallholder farmers' perceptions on attributes of bread wheat varietiesbased on primary data collected from 524 households in four major wheat growing areas ofEthiopia. The results indicated high value of attainment indices for improved varieties comparedto landraces, which shows how the demanded attributes are embodied more in improved ones.Grain yield and yellow and stem ru...

Analysis of gene expression in developing wheat seeds was used to identify a gene, wheat bread making (wbm), with highly differential expression (~1000 fold) in the starchy endosperm of genotypes varying in bread making quality. Several alleles differing in the 5'-upstream region (promoter) of this gene were identified, with one present only in genotypes with high levels of wbm expression. RNA-...

membrane assisted liquid extraction(male) technologies are gaining an important role as an extraction /separation technique for actinides and are being deployed as a  promising tool for remediation of nuclear waste generated in the reprocessing plant and other radioactive wastes containing a trace level of radionuclides. the present contribution outlines the classification of membrane assisted ...

An attempt is made in this study to balance the nutritional and sensory quality of bread. In particular, the formulation of a functional durum wheat bread enriched with bran at high concentration has been developed. Organogel concentration and bran particle size have been used as process variables for bread optimization. Bran concentration was increased at value as high as 15%, thus increasing ...

abstract this study reviews the direct and indirect effects of higher energy and bread prices (due to removing their subsidies and paying their equivalent in cash instead). therefore, all consumer goods were classified into 6 groups and a linear expenditure system was estimated based on households’ budget data of 2009 and 2011 for urban and rural areas separately. the results indicate that high...

Due to urbanization increasing, poor planning, lack of financial support and etc, it results in the poor state of municipal solid wastes management in most cities, especially in developing countries. A mass of solid wastes are dumped in the open air without effective environmental conservation measures, which leads to some open-air solid wastes dumps. Management of these dumps is one of the mos...
