Diffusion-driven water uptake in a substrate (imbibition) is a subject of great interest in the field of food technology. This is a particular challenge for rice grains that are preprocessed to accelerate the water uptake, i.e., to reduce the cooking time. Rice preprocessing disrupts the mesostructural order of starch and induces a microporous structure in the grains. The mesoand microstructura...

A neural network (NN) algorithm to invert biomass of rice plants using quad-polarization radar datasets of ground-based scatterometer and spaceborne RADARSAT-2 has been studied. The NN is trained with pairs of multipolarization radar backscattering and biomass data. The backscattering data are simulated from a Monte Carlo backscatter model that uses the outputs from a growth model of the rice p...

Are software engineers engineers? Or more exactly: Can software engineers legitimately be called engineers? This is an ambiguous question. Its interpretation depends on the situation in which it is asked. It might be asked in a situation in which practice-oriented engineering disciplines have more chances to be sponsored publicly: In this case it would be the question if software engineering sh...

Abstract Species coculture can increase agro-biodiversity and therefore constitutes an ecological intensification measure for agriculture. Rice-aquatic animal coculture, one type of species has been practiced researched widely. Here, we review recent studies present results a quantitative analysis literature on rice–aquatic systems. We address three questions: (i) rice yield soil fertility be m...

This research was aimed to study and analyze the costs, revenues, profits of meat chicken breeding projects. The also estimating random frontier profit function, inefficiency function efficiency which based on cross-sectional data that included 59 projects for raising poultry in Waist governorate 2020.The results analysis showed through descriptive cost structure that, costs chicks fodder accou...

To assess a possible explanation for persistent gender inequalities in engineering, this study examines differences recent Bachelor of Engineering graduates’ intention to look another engineering job three years after graduation. Applying organizational commitment theories, we examined and family characteristics, feelings these graduates towards their jobs understand what underlying factors mak...

To determine if implementing an educationally minded schedule utilizing consecutive night shifts can moderate the impact of the 2011 duty hour standards on education and patient continuity of care in longitudinal primary care experience (continuity clinic). A 14-month pre-post study was performed in continuity clinic with one supervising physician group and two intern groups. Surveys to assess ...

Mr. Roach did his undergraduate civil engineering work under Prof. Hugh Miller, formerly of Clarkson College, now lecturer in civil engineering at Rice. When Mr. Roach graduated he went with the Public Service Commission of New York, and did surveying in connection with the new suburbs of New York City. On March 1, 1916, he accepted a position with the Turner Construction Company, engineers and...
