one of the most important forms of preharvest damage to wheat is caused by sunn pests. the insects insert their mouth parts into the immature grain and while injecting their saliva suck the milky juices. flour from damaged wheat results in low baking performance due to the bug proteolytic enzymes’ injected which cause the breakdown of gluten structure in the dough. in the present study three wh...

Nanocrystalline materials show a higher strain-rate sensitivity in contrast to the conventional coarse-grained materials and a different grain size dependency. To explain these phenomenon, a finite element model is constructed that considers both grain interior and grain boundary deformation of nanocrystalline materials. The model consist of several crystalline cores with different orientations...

Evidence is synthesized that foods and food patterns act synergistically to influence the risk of several chronic diseases. Whole-grain consumption and risk of disease are presented as a model of food synergy. Food synergy is defined as additive or more than additive influences of foods and food constituents on health. Risk appears to be lower with consumption of whole grain than of refined gra...

The extrinsic grain boundary dislocations (EGBD's) in copper have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. It was shown that some EGBD's remain on grain boundaries after recrystallization and annealing at 0.6 T,, but not on those annealed at 0.8 T,. For several grain boundaries the crystallography of the defects was examined in detail and the dynamic theory of diffraction was used for ...

Sweet sorghum is a multi-purpose crop due to the use of all plant parts. The research was carried out under controlled conditions evaluate effect fertilization management on growth, grain yield and characteristics sweet grown as second in Mediterranean climate conditions. experiment two-factor randomized plot trial with 20 treatments combination 5 nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg N/ha) ...
