Wheat is one of the most important food staff in consumption pattern of each country. More than 50 percent of energy is provided by bread in the developing countries. The aim of this study was measuring wheat losses during pre-harvest and harvest stages in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province of Iran in year 2013. Wheat losses at harvest stages were measured to wheat varieties in 2 levels of Omid...

IN HIS VIEWPOINT “INSURANCE IN A CLIMATE OF change” (12 Aug., p. 1040), E. Mills suggests that changes in climate have been responsible for some part of the trend in recent decades of increasing damage related to extreme weather.

the purpose of this descriptive-survey research was to assess the attitude of the farmers, bakers and consumers toward cultural and social factors influencing wheat, flour, and bread losses. the population of the study was constituted of all the farmers, bakers and bread consumers in tehran, khuzestan, golestan and kermanshah provinces. a sample of 1500 farmers, 600 bakers, and 6000 consumers w...

This short memo presents the results of simulation tests that empirically quantify quantizer sensitivity losses in the WIDAR correlator for the EVLA. These results demonstrate that 3-bit/8-level quantization suffers a ~3.7% sensitivity loss and that 4-bit/15-level quantization suffers ~1.3% sensitivity loss. The results will also show that a WIDAR correlator with 3-bit initial quantization and ...
