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...

Grain boundary and surface segregation of Bi in Cu were investigated under identical conditions. Cu bicrystals containing deliberately made internal cavities at the interfaces were doped with Bi, annealed at different temperatures, and broken in an Auger microprobe. The segregation level at the free surfaces was found to be higher than that at grain boundaries. Grain-boundary and surface segreg...

When a propagating cleavage front encounters a high-angle grain boundary it first penetrates through the grain boundary stably. With increasing penetration depth the resistance of the grain boundary rises, resulting in the well-known R-curve. When the balance between the rates of the energy release rate and the grain boundary resistance is reached, the crack advance becomes unstable and the gra...

grain discoloration caused by fungi agents, in crop season that the mature grain stage coincides with rain, it causes many damages. in this research effect of paddy discoloration of three varieties (hashemi, gohar and khazar) and disease index in two levels (high and low disease index levels) on grain apparent quality, milling properties and grain bending strength was investigated in a factoria...

The importance of maize (Zea mays) in Ugandan economy has been increasing since 1990’s. The crop is grown for both local and foreign markets by mainly small-scale farmers. The bulk of the crop is shelled using the rudimentary traditional methods, which have low productivity and result into maize grain of low market value. Earlier studies conducted by Agricultural Engineering and Appropriate Tec...
