BACKGROUND Little is known about rice consumption, related food intake patterns, and the nutritional contribution that rice provides in the diets of Americans. OBJECTIVE To provide information about rice consumption in the United States and the diets of rice consumers. DESIGN Data come from the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (1994-1996) and the National Health and Nutritio...

In this paper, non parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in Punjab state, India, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. The main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...

Abstract The aim of this research is to expand the knowledge on description grains breakage energy. In effect a model describe rice and corn energy in dependance size was developed. This achieved by linking level grinding with properties material (particle size) loading conditions. selected (rice corn) were subjected loads (compression cutting) testing machine. Based force-displacement curves, ...

Field experiments were conducted in 2006 to investigate the impacts of modified rice cultivation systems on: grain yield, N uptake, ammonia volatilization from rice soil and N use efficiency (ANUE, agronomic N use efficiency; and PFP, partial factor productivity of applied N). The trials compared rice production using modified methods of irrigation, planting, weeding and nutrient management (th...

This paper describes energy efficiency indicators and indices of improvements according to type use. The purpose is the monitoring comparing trends in EU-27 countries, Norway Republic Croatia, therefore Croatia have been specially presented for each consumption sectors.

The target of Rapamycin (TOR) present in all eukaryotes is a multifunctional protein, regulating growth, development, protein translation, ribosome biogenesis, nutrient, and energy signaling. In the present study, ectopic expression of TOR gene of Arabidopsis thaliana in a widely cultivated indica rice resulted in enhanced plant growth under water-limiting conditions conferring agronomically im...
