Light buckwheat flour was used to substitute rice flour at the level of 10, 20 and 30% to produce gluten-free cookies. The substitution of gluten-free cookie formulation with light buckwheat flour contributed to the significantly higher mineral content, especially magnesium, potassium, iron and copper, in comparison with the control rice cookies (p<0.05). Gluten-free cookies made with rice flou...

The aim of this paper was to determine the particle size composition wood dust emission from CNC milling natural and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) evaluate associated occupational exposure risks. is focused on some most commonly used materials in woodworking furniture industry, i.e., solid (beech, oak, spruce) composite (MDF panels). In addition influence machined material, effect technical-t...

BACKGROUND The Multidimensional Daily Diary of Fatigue-Fibromyalgia-17 instrument (MDF-Fibro-17) has been developed for use in fibromyalgia (FM) clinical studies and includes 5 domains: Global Fatigue Experience, Cognitive Fatigue, Physical Fatigue, Motivation, and Impact on Function. Psychometric properties of the MDF-Fibro-17 needed to demonstrate the appropriateness of using this instrument ...

BACKGROUND After introduction of the concept of critical value (CV) in laboratory medicine, some efforts were performed to define possible critical values in surgical pathology. Critical diagnosis (critical value) is a concept recently established in surgical pathology and is a challenging issue among pathologists and clinical specialists. The concept may be the subject of variation according t...

IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 1-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one], C(19)H(20)O(5), the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 26.88 (5)°. One of the meth-oxy groups is twisted slightly away from the plane [C-O-C-C torsion angle = -12.8 (3)°] while the others are almost co-planer [C-O-C-C torsion angles = -3.2 (3), 2.6 (3) and -3.6 (3)°]. The crystal pa...

Background: Flour is one of the most important food sources, therefore it must be kept healthy and clean. As a potential pest control modality, we aimed to examine whether flour irradiation is a feasible tool to eradicate Tribolium confusum adults from infected flour considering probable health effects of infested flour consumption. Materials and Methods: unirradiated and irradiated flour were ...

Abstract Currently, most of the collected waste medium-density fiberboards (MDF) is incinerated or landfilled, as economically viable recycling methods are yet to be developed. By steam refining (MDF), it possible hydrolyze incorporated resins and isolate a high yield fiber fraction. Further treated fibers might enable utilized in applications such paper packaging, facilitating cascading use ma...

About the MDF The Mediterranean Development Forum (MDF) partnership, which began in 1997, comprises Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region think tanks, the United Nations Development Programme, and the World Bank Institute. The partnership is dedicated to empowering civil society to participate in shaping public policy, making a contribution to the policy debate in key areas of regional int...

This paper presents insights into the response and failure of medium density fibreboard (MDF) panels subjected to air-blast loading. The MDF are representative a cheap, potentially sustainable, structural material that is commonly used in homes buildings. Simplified computational simulations were design series experiments elucidate range responses failures within MDF. blast-loaded exhibited mul...

The study was conducted to develop composite bread with maize flour and also to evaluate the nutritional quality and sensory properties of resulting breads. The results of the proximate analysis showed that wheat and maize flour contain protein 12.56 and 9.08%; fat 0.85 and 1.15%; ash 0.62 and 1.60%; fibre 0.68 and 1.25%; gluten 12.11 and 0.0%, respectively. Breads were produced from composite ...
