The Good Grains Project
Foodgrains (like wheat, peanuts, etc.) gain moisture when they are stored, which leads to variation in weight and deterioration in quality. These commodities are sold by weight in India, and therefore, variable weight directly impacts the economic value of the produce. In addition, the quality of …

Infrared spectroscopy of interstellar grains
… of these was disputed. The effect of UV on the grains was considered, and assuming cloud uniformity, was found to have an effect only at the outer edges or close to YSOs. Age estimates of the cloud using observational data and theoretical models were found to disagree. A brief study was made of …

Whole Grains: Are They Worth It?
Background: Whole grains are an important component of a healthful, high quality diet. Consumption of whole grains may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and is associated with lower body weight. Whole grains are relatively inexpensive when compared to other high quality foods such as fruits …

Demand for certified aflatoxin-free grains
… India show heavy infestation of aflatoxin in grains with levels over 26 times the permissible limit. These grains are then exported worldwide where they are either rejected at port resulting in huge losses for farmers or fall through the cracks and reach consumers in other countries. The cost …

Supply chain models for an ethanol and distillers grains producer and a distillers grains-based feed producer
… the joint production of ethanol and distillers grains (E&DG) from corn. At the same time, there have been corresponding increases in the production of animal feed based on distillers grains (DG). Under such circumstances, ethanol and DG are produced by an E&DG producer, and DG serves as input to …

Regenerated desiccant devices for cooling stored grains
About 10% of all food grains that are harvested are ruined by insects and moulds during storage. One method of protecting stored grains is to cool them, as this reduces biological activities such as insect pest reproduction and mould growth. Cooling grains also reduces that rate at which moisture …

Charging of aggregate grains in astrophysical environments.
… the properties of the plasma. The charge on dust grains also affects their dynamics, and influences the coagulation rate. Most previous work assumes that cosmic dust is spherical in shape. However, remote observations and in-situ measurements indicate that cosmic dust is likely to have an …

Three Grains, Two Photons and a Colourful Diamond
… and in the extreme case of very small grains, can almost entirely suppress it. We then unveil buried charge-carrier recombination pathways in both thin film and micro-crystal methylammonium lead halide perovskite structures through 3D photoluminescence tomography acquired using …

Detection of Floating Grains in DC Aluminum Casting
Free-moving "floating" grains have been linked to macrosegregation in direct-chill (DC) aluminum castings. The presence of these grains in the sump of a solidifying ingot has been acknowledged based on measurements of cast microstructures and by recent work using a turbulent jet to suspend …

Correlated NanoSIMS, TEM, and XANES Studies of Presolar Grains
… the correlated study of individual presolar grains via Nano-scale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (NanoSIMS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) utilizing X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), with a focus on connecting these …

Distillers grains and the livestock industry in western Canada
… the other, with the availability of distillers grains- a by-product from ethanol production. The sectorial implications for the livestock sector could also be diverse and dependent upon the capacity to incorporate the distillers grains into the different feed rations. There is also the …

Stochastic histories of dust grains in the interstellar medium
… via a Monte Carlo process where refractory dust grains formed within supernova remnants are subjected to the processes of sputtering and collisional fragmentation in the diffuse phase and accretion within the cold molecular cloud phase. In order to record chemical detail, we take each new …

Shelf-Life Improvement of Distillers Wet Grains with Solubles
Distillers wet grains with solubles (DWGS) is a co-product of the ethanol production using the dry-grind process. DWG is widely used as a feed and supplemental protein source in North American cattle rations. However due to its short shelf-life, 3-4 days in the summer and 7-10 days in the winter, …

Economic implications of a computerized trading system for grains
… to guide the comparison. Finally, a CTS for grains was conceptualized and a demonstration computer program was written to model such a system. Using communication and functional performance criteria, the two systems were compared. It appears that a CTS is a more effective price discovery …

Shape and Texture in Quartz Sand Grains: A Quantitative Assessment
… textures and shapes have been assigned to quartz grains from a variety of depositional settings. Many different methods have been devised to semi-quantify these variables and identify sedimentologically meaningful surface features. However, ambiguity and controversy about feature recognition has …
