Objective: The goal of this study was to identify commonly consumed grain food patterns in US adults (≥19 years old; N = 14,384) and compare nutrient intakes, with focus on 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines’ shortfall nutrients, diet quality, and health parameters of those consuming various grain food patterns to those not consuming grains. Methods: This study conducted secondary analyses of the Nat...

Abstract Icy grains in the interstellar medium and star formation regions consist of a variety materials. Such composite interact differently with cosmic-ray (CR) particles compared to simple single-material grains. We aim calculate spectra energies temperatures mixed-composition undergoing whole-grain heating by CRs. The were assumed mixture carbon olivine, covered ices consisting oxides water...

We investigate the linear growth and vertical structure of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in weakly ionised, stratified protoplanetary discs. The magnetic field is initially vertical and dust grains are assumed to be well mixed with the gas over the entire vertical dimension of the disc. For simplicity, all the grains are assumed to have the same radius (a = 0.1, 1 or 3 μm) and constit...

Dust grains play a crucial role on formation and evolution history of stars and galaxies in the early universe. We investigate the formation of dust grains in the ejecta of population III supernovae including pair–instability supernovae which are expected to occur in the early universe, applying a theory of non–steady state nucleation and grain growth. Dust formation calculations are performed ...

Feeding experiments were conducted quantitatively to examine the breakdown of mineral grains by earthworm, Eisenia feida, and larva of beetle, Protaetia lugubris insperata. Crushed and sieved test minerals of K-feldspar and/or quartz were mixed with artificial humus that contained no mineral grains. The mixture was fed to the soil animals in the plastic containers. After 1-, 4and 7-day experime...

Cube-shaped PZT single crystals with PZ/PT=55/45 composition were grown in a relatively uniform size distribution around 80μm by a PbO-flux method. The PZT grains obtained were mixed with liquid polyimide resin and rolled on a glass plate to fabricate 1-3-type composite sheet. This rolling process resulted in a high orientation of the PZT grains as the {h00} are parallel to the substrate plane....

Oligofructans represent one of the most important groups of sucrose-derived water-soluble carbohydrates in the plant kingdom. In cereals, oligofructans accumulate in above ground parts of the plants (stems, leaves, seeds) and their biosynthesis leads to the formation of both types of glycosidic linkages [β(2,1); β(2,6)-fructans] or mixed patterns. In recent studies, tissue- and development- spe...
