in order to study the effect of nitrogen level on physiological characteristics, grain yield and yield components of tetraploid wheat genotypes, a split plot randomized complete block design field experiment with three replications was conducted in 2007 at research farm of isfahan university of technology. four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (20, 80, 140 and 200 kg/ha) were chosen as main plots ...

The Acehnese mahseer, locally known as keureling, Tor tambra is one of the highest economically valued freshwater fishes found in Aceh waters. The culture of T. tambra was initiated in Aceh Province, Indonesia more than five years ago. However, the growth rate in captivity has been low, probably due to feeding problems. Hence, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the optimum level...

Quinoa kernels are generally whole-milled due to their small kernel size. However, roller milling allows the separation of starchy perisperm from protein- and fat-rich bran fraction. Both fractions can be used for specific food applications. Studies have focused on quinoa but information tempering is rather limited. This study investigates impact different conditions quinoa. Three types commerc...

Kernel-to-kernel moisture content (MC) distributions on panicles were measured for rice cultivars Bengal, Cypress, and Drew. Rice panicles in Arkansas were harvested at different stages of maturity from foundation seed fields at two locations with widely varying soils during the autumns of 1998, 1999, and 2000. The objective was to quantify variability of individual rice kernel MCs as affected ...

Background: Phthalates are a group of multifunctional chemicals. Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is one of the most frequently used phthalates in solvents and fixatives for numerous industrial products. Method: The present experiment was designed to assess oxidative stress, if any, caused by diethyl phthalate. For this the homogenates of liver and kidney were treated with different concentrations ( 1...

Variation in individual kernel moisture content (MC) distributions in rice panicles were measured for rice cultivars Bengal, Cypress, and Drew. Rice panicles were harvested at different stages of maturity from foundation seed fields at two locations with widely varying soils in Arkansas during the autumns of 1998, 1999, and 2000.

While content-aware QoS is increasingly desired for clusterbased Web systems, the high processing overhead it caused can easily make the Web switch a system bottleneck. In this paper, we present a more scalable architecture in which content-aware request distribution and service differentiation can be performed on the back-end server nodes. Based on this scalable architecture, a kernel content-...

Search based on image contents is an important issue in Digital Library which usually relies on large image and video databases. A technique for content-based search (CBS) using a multi-level recognition kernel is presented. Features of model objects are extracted at levels that are most appropriate to yield only the necessary yet su cient details. Together they form the kernel. It is shown tha...

Edible coatings are a viable alternative method to enhance food shelf life that can be designed using different biopolymers. This study evaluated the effect of whey protein–pectin coating reticulated by microbial transglutaminase (mTG) on improving roasted peanuts’ life. Peroxide value, water content, peanut color, and solution’s contact angle were studied. The latter was improved presence enzy...
