Legumes are important sources of food proteins and provide well-balanced essential amino acid profiles when consumed with cereals and other foods. Apart from their nutritional properties, legume proteins also possess functional properties that play an important role in food formulation and processing. The objective of this work was to study the effects of red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) flour (RKF) substitution at 5%, 10%, and 25% levels on nutritional, sensory, and textural characterist...

In the first part of this work, a convex partition of a compact subset is constructed. Minimum-length surrounding curve and minimum-area surrounding surfaces for a compact set are constructed too. In the second part, one writes the perimeter of an ellipse as the sum of an alternate series. On the other hand, we deduce related “sandwich” inequalities for the perimeter, involving Jensen’s inequality and logarithmic function respectively. We discuss the values of the ordinate of the gravity center ...

This study attempts to explore EFL teachers’awareness and incorporation of the Multiple Intelligences Theory (MIT) into their pedagogical practices in light of some variables. The sample consisted of 141 male and female EFL teachers who taught the first-, fourth-, eighth- and eleventh- grade Action Pack textbooks in the public schools of the First Directorate of Education (Irbid, Jordan). The findings revealed that, albeit moderate, EFL teachers' awareness and incorporation of MIT is influenced,...

Background: Diarrheal diseases are one of the top (major) leading causes of under-five morbidity, mortality and under nutrition in developing countries. In African countries including Ethiopia, each child on average suffers from five episodes of diarrhea per year while the two-week preva- lence ranges from 10% to 40% in different parts of Ethiopia. Objective: To assess prevalence and associated factors for the occurrence of diarrhea diseases among the under-five year’s children in Debrebirehan r...

Of the 57 million deaths that occurred in the world in 2008, 63 percent were due to chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs), and the majority of those who died were women and elderly people. Objectives: To evaluate health indices of those in the retirement aged cohort and working aged cohort; to determine rates of comorbidity for those in the retirement aged and the working aged cohorts; to compute the prevalence rate of specific chronic non-communicable diseases and to calculate death rates f...

This study was conducted on 45 heads (15 of each breed) of three Sudanese domestic goat breeds (Desert goat, Nubian goat and Taggar goat) to pursue complete mitochondrial DNA analysis using PCR-RFLP method to detect the mitochondrial DNA diversity of two mit-DNA haplogroups, lineage A and lineage D. The results revealed that most individuals of the three breeds belonged to lineage A with frequencies 0.2 of Desert goats, 0.6 of Nubian goats and 0.6 of Tagar goats. Some of the individuals belonged...

Background: Global cancer rates have been increasing primarily due to many reasons: an aging population and lifestyle changes in the developing world were major causes. In 2008, approximately 12.7 million cancers were diagnosed and 7.6 million people died of cancer worldwide. Objectives: To study the epidemiological patterns of the top 10 registered cancers over the years of 1991-2008 in Iraq. To identify the socio-demographic characteristics and determinants of cancers in Iraq and to identify t...

Effect of supplementation of ascorbic acid, caffeine and chloroquine diphosphate in the dilutor on post-thaw quality of spermatozoa was studied. Thirty-two semen ejaculates (8 each from 2 Holstein Friesian and 2 crossbred; 50% Friesian x 50% Haryana) were studied. Ascorbic acid, caffeine and chloroquine diphosphate were added in Tris-egg yolk–glycerol (control) extender at the concentration of 10 mM, 0.54 mM and 7 mM, respectively. The post-thaw semen parameters studied were structural (acrosoma...
