Full fat soy flour was blended with cereal, millet or pulse flours to make a variety of Indian traditional products. It was judged by a trained panel that all the products, namely ‘chapati, ‘puri’, ‘pakoda’, ‘sev’, ‘bread pakoda’, ‘soy-peanut crisp’, ‘burfi’, ‘mysore pak’ and ‘halwa’ wcre all acceptable with no significant differences among the products.

Summary. As more and more nations are scrutinizing their health care costs, attention has been focused on high-cost low-density disease. Assessment of actual total cost of care for haemophilia and its positive outcome becomes essential to justify support for these patients. In this study, we assessed hospital cost and diagnosis-related group (DRG) reimbursement for patients undergoing elective orthopaedic surgical procedures from May 1999 to December 1999. Hospital cost was assessed by a prospective microcost-analysis method. To identify real hospital costs, we performed registration of preoperative phase, operative phase and 1-year follow-up costs. Hospital cost included personnel costs and costs for clinical and laboratory procedures, blood products, prosthetic implants, coagulation factor concentrates and drugs. These data were compared with hospital DRG reimbursement. We included nine consecutive patients, with a mean age 38 years (19–54 years) who had had 10 major orthopaedic surgical procedures performed during the study period. Six patients had haemophilia A, two had haemophilia B and one had factor VII deficiency. Data analysis showed a mean cost of US$ 54 201 (range US$ 25 795–105 479; 1US$ = 8.5 NOK). The average actual hospital revenue (50% DRG reimbursement + income related to length of stay) was $4730 (range $ 1 308–13 601). Our study confirms that orthopaedic surgery in patients with severe bleeding disorders puts the hospital to a considerable expense. Activity-based financing, as used in Norway, does not provide a proper reimbursement for this part of the haemophilia care.

Dulse, Palmaria palmata, is being studied as an alternative source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an ω-3 fatty acid as it contains 〉45 % of total fatty acid as EPA. The physical properties of freeze dried dulse were investigated in terms of bulk and particle density, compressibility, particle size distribution, and moisture sorption properties at 23C. The experimental adsorption isotherm was fitted to two theoretical (BET and GAB) and three empirical models. The model proposed by Iglesias and Chirife (1981) was the most successful. The monolayer moisture content evaluated from GAB parameters was 6. 7 kg/100 kg dry matter, which was similar to a value corresponding to inflection point of stability isotherm. The powder was highly hygroscopic even at low aw' a characteristic of gel forming polymers present in dulse.

Abstract The plot of the X-ray luminosity (in 0.5–4.5 KeV band and for Friedmann universe withq 0=+1) of the brightest X-ray QSO at each redshift against redshift shows that the X-ray luminosity increases more or less monotonically with redshift uptoz∼3. This result has been attributed to the selection effect known as the ‘volume effect’. When this selection effect is taken into account in the optical, radio and X-ray windows of the electromagnetic spectrum, a sample of the brightest X-ray QSO's is obtained which shows a small dispersion in X-ray luminosity: 〈logL χ1〉=46.15±0.25. The redshift-X-ray flux density plot for this sample gives slopes of both regression lines which agree, at a confidence level of 95% or greater, with the slopes expected theoretically if the redshifts of the QSO's are cosmological in nature.

Riassunto Si propone un potenziale d'interazione a tre corpi (TBI) per studiare le proprietà statiche e dinamiche dei solidi molecolari. Questo TBI si forma dai dipoli variabili ridotti quando le molecole vicine si sovrappongono. Si ottiene un confronto dell'azione di questo potenziale TBI ed altri potenziali a due corpi calcolando l'energia di coesione, le costanti elastiche ed altre proprietà termodinamiche del metano solido a differenti temperature. Il potenziale TBI proposto è stato trovato per descrivere queste proprietà meglio dei potenziali a due corpi.

Summary A three-body interaction (TBI) potential has been proposed to study the static and dynamic properties of molecular solids. This TBI arises from the variable induced dipoles when the neighbouring molecules overlap. A comparison of the performance of this TBI potential and other two-body potentials has been carried out by calculating the cohesive energy, elastic constants and other thermodynamic properties of solid methane at different temperatures. The proposed TBI potential has been found to describe these properties better than the two-body potentials.

Abstract The behavior of the specific heat of liquid3He as a function of temperature implies a rapid variation of effective mass with energy. Recently a model has been developed for understanding this. In this paper we extend this model to explain the low-temperature (T≦100 mK) specific heat measurements of normal liquid3He by Greywall. We find that the model gives a reasonably accurate description of the data in this temperature range.

Abstract Performance of two rhizomatous crops i.e. ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) and turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) was investigated under rainfed conditions in pure stands and as intercrops with 5-year-old poplars planted at three spacings viz., 5×5 m, 5×4 m and 5×3 m. The average illumination below the canopies was 53, 46 and 38% of incident radiation, respectively. Both crops performed better as intercrops than as pure stands. Survival was inversely correlated to light intensity. Plant height, tillers per plant and leaves per plant in ginger and leaf length and leaf breadth besides plant height in turmeric were significantly enhanced when intercropped. The rhizome length, rhizome breadth, yield per plant and yield per ha in ginger exceeded under poplars but showed a drastic reduction under the closest poplar spacing. In turmeric, the trend for the first two characters was the same, whereas yield per plant as well as yeild per ha were slightly greater in the open than under 5×3 m spacing. Dry matter content varied significantly with spacing. For quality parameters, only oil content in ginger and oleoresin in turmeric showed significant differences. The cultivation of turmeric proved more remunerative than ginger. Among the poplar spacings, 5×4 m for ginger and 5×5 m for turmeric were delineated as the best spacings.

Abstract Tree foliage is a nutrient-rich and important source of green fodder to sustain the livestock during the lean winter period of a season in the low and mid hill regions of Indian Himalaya. Knowledge of the variations in mineral nutrient composition of the foliage during an active growth season helps in determining optimum lopping time to harvest nutrient-rich fodder. Changes in the nutrient concentrations of Albizia stipulata and Ougenia oojeinensis foliage during the annual growth season were studied to find out an optimum lopping time. Two dissimilar trends in variation of nutrients in foliage with the advancement of growth season were observed. These were: (1) depletion/dilution of N, P, K and S and (2) accumulation of Ca, Mg and Na. The depletion was more from October onwards, and accumulation reached to its maximum in November-December. Therefore, the period from October to December, preferably November, can be regarded as optimum lopping time for A. stipulata. For O. oojeinensis, the corresponding time could be September to November, preferably October. Ougenia foliage contained higher concentration of N, P, Ca, Mg, and Na than that of Albizia.

Theoretical calculations based on statistical thermodynamics are presented addressing the partitioning behavior of a monomer, solvent, or plasticizer in a two-phased polymer system. A phase-separated interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) consisting of a polyurethane (PU) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (50/50 by weight) is chosen as the model. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is chosen as the partitioning small molecule, which is added at 20% by weight of the polymers. It is shown that the free energy of mixing this MMA is minimum only when the MMA is partitioned nearly uniformly between the two phases. It is also shown that such mixing of a small molecule in a polymer system is controlled by the entropic rather than enthalpic contributions to the free energy changes. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
