water balance components are difficult to measure in short intervals because their measurement is time consuming and costly. therefore, soil-water--plant models can be used for prediction of these components. in this study, to predict grain yield and evaluate water use efficiency, an agro-hydrological model, namely, swap was used. this study covered a 10-years period from 2000-2010. based on th...

Protein nanofibrils have recently shown unique properties preparing emulsions, with the stability improved after fibrillation of glycated proteins. The objective present study was to physical and chemical emulsions prepared different flexibility. Increasing ethanol level during heating aqueous whey protein isolate (WPI) solutions at pH 2.0 85 °C increased amount semiflexible highly flexible wor...

various scaling methods such as relative viscosity, peclet and reynolds scaling were used to find the best scaling law. scaling and modeling of the flow curves of various model emulsions consist of tragacanth gum (tg) (0.5, 1 % wt), oleic acid (5, 10% v/v) and wpi (2, 4 % wt) were investigated and the best models were selected. as these emulsions are non-newtonian, they do not obey the usual, si...

A modeling technique, the Capitalist model, is outlined for analyzing multi-dimensional le structures. It is particularly appropriate where the data keys may have non-uniform data distributions. The basis of the model is to assume that the current distribution of data in an existing le is a good predictor of the underlying \true" distribution. The method is applied to formal analysis of the BAN...

More than ever before schema transformation is a prevalent problem that needs to be addressed to accomplish for example the migration of legacy systems to the newer OODB systems, the generation of structured web pages from data in database systems, or the integration of systems with diierent native data models. Such schema transformations are typically composed of a sequence of schema evolution...

Machinery for sowing wheat directly into rice residues has become more common in the rice-wheat systems of the north-west Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia, with increasing numbers of farmers now potentially able to access the benefits of residue retention. However, surface residue retention affects soil water and temperature dynamics, thus the optimum sowing date and irrigation management for...

UNLABELLED Dairy proteins are amenable to structural modifications induced by high temperature, shear, and moisture; in particular, whey proteins can change conformation to new unfolded states. The change in protein state is a basis for creating new foods. The dairy products, nonfat dried milk (NDM), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and whey protein isolate (WPI) were modified using a twin-screw...

Abstract Background African wild lettuce ( Lactuca taraxacifolia Willd.) is an underutilised indigenous leafy vegetable containing essential nutrients and medicinal properties. Hence, this study aimed to determine the chemical composition, antioxidant activities, α-amylase, α-glucosidase angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory potentials of leaves powder samples. Methods Freshly harvested Wild...
