While some reports show that physical characteristics of the baru fruits (Dipteryx alata Vog.) differ within and among the Brazilian Savanna regions, a study shows that there are differences in the nutritional composition of baru almonds from different trees from the same Savanna area. It is unknown, however, whether the Savanna’s region influences the nutritional quality of this native almond....

Conocarpus erectus L. is a fast growing tree, drought resistant and it is widely planted throughout Saudi Arabia around parking lots and along the streets. It constitutes a renewable resource that could be used as a source of raw materials required for several uses. However, no data were available about its wood quality. This study was established to investigate the effect of plant spacing on s...

BACKGROUND Prickly pear cactus stem (nopal) has been used in folk medicine and a raw material since ancient times. Stems have been proved to possess components with valuable biological activities: anti inflamatory, antioxidant, antiulcerogenic, hypoglycemic, and so forth. Nowadays, people consume foods not only to cover the nutritional requirements, they also demand for healty, natural and conv...

In this work, a new method is introduced to model the excitation and loading for antennas composed of arbitrarily shaped conducting surfaces treated by the elctric field integral equation method described by Raw-Wilton-Glisson (RWG). Instead of using a single non-boundary edge to represent a zero-width exciting gap according to the conventional method, the proposed method uses either single or ...

on three lines?(1) the measurement of the physical indices of the nutritional conditions of the people, (2) the measurement of the prevalence of deficiency diseases, and (3) the estimation of the food values (mainly protein, mineral and vitamin values) of the diets as indicated by their daily or monthly purchases of raw food materials. The deficiencies so ascertained have been sought to be reme...

Type: The type Pxn (or empirical probability distribution) of a sequence x1, x2, ..., xn is the relative proportion of occurrences of each symbol a ∈ X (i.e. Pxn(a) = N(a,x ) n for all a ∈ X, where N(a, x ) is the number of times the symbol a occurs in the sequence x ∈ X). The type of a sequence x is denoted as Pxn and it is a probability mass function on X . Set of types: Let Pn denote the set...

This is an instructional document concerning the steps required to read and display the unprocessed sensor data stored in RAW photo formats. RAW photo files contain the raw sensor data from a digital camera; while it can be quite scientifically useful, raw data must generally be processed before it can be displayed. In this tutorial, the nature of the raw sensor data is explored. The scaling an...

After a short introduction to the UV/IR mixing in non-commutative field theories we review the properties of scalar quasi-particles in noncommutative supersymmetric gauge theories at finite temperature. In particular we discuss the appearance of super-luminous wave propagation. 1 Talk given at NATO ARW ”Non-Commutative Structures in Mathematics and Physics”, Kyiv 24-27 Sep. 2000

background and objectives: infectious diarrhoeal diseases are great problem throughout the world and are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality. shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) is a major cause of gastroenteritis that may be complicated by hemorrhagic colitis (hc) or the hemolytic uremic syndrome (hus), which is the main cause of acute renal failure in children. food...
