Obesity and lipid metabolism abnormalities are associated with numerous non communicable diseases such as metabolic syndrome, type2 diabetes, arthrosclerosis, fatty liver diseases, infertility etc. Modern life style choices such as consumption of high caloric diet and sedentary living conditions are implicated in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Most of the currently available drugs for thes...

This paper presents some motivations for using highly personalised speech interfaces. In particular, the focus is on the requirements for adaptation in mobile environments. Furthermore, SesaME, a framework for personalised and adaptive speech interfaces is described. SesaME supports a multi-domain approach and eventbased, asynchronous dialogue management. Finally, a description of how SesaME is...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest oilseed crops widely grown in Africa and Asia for its high-quality nutritional seeds. It is well adapted to harsh environments and constitutes an alternative cash crop for smallholders in developing countries. Despite its economic and nutritional importance, sesame is considered as an orphan crop because it has received very little attention from...

OBJECTIVE(S) Reproductive dysfunction is a consequence of diabetes. Diabetes is associated with changes in testicular tissue. Sesame oil contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lignin with antioxidant activity, vitamin E, and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA). The present study investigated the effects of sesame on testis histology and male reproductive parameters in streptozo...

Present study highlights on isolation of bioactive peptide from the sesame protein hydrolysate with an objective of better utilization sesame meal. Sesame protein isolate was enzymatically modified to prepare sesame protein hydrolysate using enzyme ‘Protease A Amano 2G’ in an enzyme membrane reactor and the hydrolysate was subsequently fractionated by ultrafiltration using membranes of decreasi...

Field studies were conducted from 2006 to 2010 under weed-free conditions in south Texas and in the Texas High Plains to determine sesame tolerance to applied postemer‐ gence-directed herbicides. Injury was greatest when herbicides were applied to 15 cm of the main stem compared to herbicide applications made to 5 cm of the main stem height. Glyphosate at 0.84 kg ae/ha and pyrithiobac-sodium at...

A process of conversion of solid carbonaceous fuel into combustible gas by partial combustion is known as gasification. The resulting gas, known as producer gas, is more versatile in its use than the original solid biomass. In the present study, a downdraft biomass gasifier is used to carry out the gasification experiments with the waste generated while making furniture in the carpentry section...

Cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of sesame (Sesamum indicum L) seed feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male diabetic rats received sesame seed-mixed food at weight ratios of 3% and 6% for 7 weeks, one week after diabetes in...
