BACKGROUND Walnut (Juglans regia L.), that belongs to the Juglandaceae family, is one of the nuts commonly found in Chinese diets. Researchers had obtained peptides from walnut protein hydrolysates, and these peptides exhibited the high antioxidant activities. The objective of this study was to develop a simple and convenient method for a facile and reproducible preparation of antioxidant pepti...

this survey was done for constructing an egg sorting machine which could sort white eggs from fertilized eggs. egg sorting machine was constructed based on physiological properties of trout egg. fertilized eggs have much more elasticity than white or non-hatched eggs. so the hatched eggs will fly back if were hit to a solid surface. the machine divided to 5 parts including mechanical, electrica...

In most industrial processes, vast amounts of data are recorded through their distributed control systems (DCSs) and emergency shutdown (ESD) systems. This twopart article presents a dynamic risk analysis methodology that uses alarm databases to improve process safety and product quality. The methodology consists of three steps: (i) tracking of abnormal events over an extended period of time, (...

This study aimed to predict the CNC cutting conditions for best wood surface quality, energy, and time savings using artificial neural network (ANN) models. In process, walnut, ash were used as materials, while three different tool diameters (3 mm, 6 8 mm), spindle speed (12000 rpm, 15000 18000 rpm), feed rate m/min, 9 m/min) determined conditions. After processes completed with machine, energy...

The aim of this work was to study the influence of a walnut (Juglans regia) extract on the growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) AB1157, on the plasmid DNA topology and on the labeling of blood constituents with technetium-99m (Tc). An E. coli AB1157 culture, in stationary phase, was incubated with walnut and the growth of the culture was evaluated by optical density at 600 nm for 7 hours. Plasm...

BACKGROUND In our recently published study, including walnuts in the diets of adults with prediabetes led to overall improvement in diet quality. This report adds to those study findings by examining the food groups displaced during walnut inclusion in the diets of those adults with prediabetes. METHODS Randomized, controlled, modified Latin square parallel design with 2 treatment arms. The 1...

The goal of this project is to build a set of comprehensive genomic tools to facilitate a more precise evaluation of breeding populations as well as to access unique germplasm for the walnut improvement program. A remaining deliverable was a genetic map that can be used to map phenotypic traits of significance for walnut quality and production. This map can be used to align any phenotypic trait...

The primary goal of this proposal is to develop novel regeneration technologies needed to engineer walnut rootstocks for pest and disease resistance. The productivity of the walnut industry of California is dependent the availability of superior rootstocks to combat soil disease and pest problems. Individual selections displaying resistance to either Phytophthora crown and root rots or to root ...

BACKGROUND Allergic reactions to walnut can be life-threatening. Although IgE epitopes of walnut have been studied, CD4(+) T cell-specific epitopes for walnut remain uncharacterized. In particular, the relationship of both phenotype and frequency of walnut-specific T cells to the disease have not been examined. OBJECTIVES We sought to provide a thorough phenotypic analysis for walnut-reactive...
