description: We study the central production of QCD instantons at hadron colliders in events with two large rapidity gaps. These gaps in rapidity are formed by either Pomeron or photon exchanges or a combination of the two. The kT-factorization formalism is used to reduce the factorization scale dependence. We compute for the first time the relevant differential cross-sections for a complete set of central instanton production processes at the LHC, including gluon-induced and quark-induced amplitudes, and also show that the largest contribution comes from processes with Pomeron exchanges where a single gluon from each Pomeron couples to the instanton.

description: Um total de 24 touros da raça Guzerá, de 24 a 34 meses de idade, avaliados andrologicamente, foram submetidos a teste da libido com o objetivo de estudar o comportamento sexual, em curral e em piquete, em diferentes tempos de observação. Observou-se, de forma geral, baixa resposta dos animais aos testes, uma vez que menos da metade dos animais foi classificada com libido média ou alta. Verificou-se menor variação na pontuação entre os tempos, no teste em curral com escore 3,0 em cinco minutos e 3,3 em 15 minutos de avaliação (p>0,05). Observou-se, associações favoráveis e de alta magnitude entre os eventos de comportamento sexual, sugerindo que touros que mais manifestam eventos em teste da libido são os com maiores chances de realizar a cópula.

description: We study remarkable connections between twistor-string formulas for tree amplitudes in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM and ${\cal N}=6$ ABJM, and the corresponding momentum amplituhedron in the kinematic space of $D=4$ and $D=3$, respectively. Based on the Veronese map to positive Grassmannians, we define a twistor-string map from $G_{+}(2,n)$ to a $(2n{-}4)$-dimensional subspace of the 4d kinematic space where the momentum amplituhedron of SYM lives. We provide strong evidence that the twistor-string map is a diffeomorphism from $G_+(2,n)$ to the interior of momentum amplituhedron; the canonical form of the latter, which is known to give tree amplitudes of SYM, can be obtained as pushforward of that of former. We then move to three dimensions: based on Veronese map to orthogonal positive Grassmannian, we propose a similar twistor-string map from the moduli space ${\cal M}_{0,n}^+$ to a $(n{-}3)$-dimensional subspace of 3d kinematic space. The image gives a new positive geometry which conjecturally serves as the momentum amplituhedron for ABJM; its canonical form gives the tree amplitude with reduced supersymmetries in the theory. We also show how boundaries of compactified ${\cal M}_{0,n}^+$ map to boundaries of momentum amplituhedra for SYM and ABJM corresponding to factorization channels of amplitudes, and in particular for ABJM case the map beautifully excludes all unwanted channels.

description: The aim of the article is to compare textbook research conducted in Australia and Finland between 2000 and 2011. The article is based on information collected in a project initiated by the Norwegian government and realized by an international research group lead by Professor Susanne Knudsen at Vestfold University College in Norway. This research was published electronically at the Directorate for Education and Training (http://sok.udir.no/Sider/utdanningresults.aspx?k=L%C3%A6remidler). Research findings on textbooks and educational media were identified from four areas: (1) content, form and use; (2) implementation of basic skills; (3) educational media acting against drop out as well as (4) research analysing activities in classrooms also including the use of educational aids. As this fourth area encompassed very few findings it is left out here. Table 1 gives a quantitative overview of the research conducted in a sample of countries.

description: O feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris) é uma das principais culturas produzidas no Brasil. Sua produtividade é comprometida por diversas enfermidades, incluindo as causadas pelos nematoides-das-galhas (Meloidogyne spp.). Três experimentos foram conduzidos em casa de vegetação com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento de quatro linhagens de feijão (C2-1-6-1-1, C4-8-1-1, PR11-6-4-1-2 e Pr11-6-4-1-2,) e três cultivares (IAC-Alvorada , IAC-Diplomata e IAC-Una) a Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica e M. enterolobii. O tomateiro ‘Rutgers’ foi utilizado para comprovar a viabilidade do inóculo. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com oito tratamentos e cinco repetições. Para a comprovação dos resultados, os três experimentos foram repetidos seguindo a mesma metodologia. A infestação do solo foi realizada individualmente com 5.000 ovos + J2 de cada espécie de nematoide por vaso. As variáveis, índice de galhas (IG) e de massas de ovos (IMO) e o fator de reprodução (FR) foram determinados 60 dias após a inoculação. Os genótipos de feijão ‘C4-8-1-1’ e ‘C2-1-6-1-1’ apresentaram resistência a M. incognita e M. javanica, respectivamente. Nenhum genótipo apresentou resistência a M. enterolobii nos dois ensaios. Os demais genótipos de feijão foram suscetíveis às espécies de nematoides estudadas. Em conclusão, indicamos que os genótipos resistentes (‘C4-8-1-1’ e ‘C2-1-6-1-1’) podem ser utilizados em áreas de cultivo infestadas M. incognita e M. javanica, respectivamente, ou usados como fontes de resistência em programas de melhoramento genético.

description: We look for and place observational constraints on the imprint of ultralight dark matter (ULDM) soliton cores in rotation-dominated galaxies. Extending previous analyses, we find a conservative constraint which disfavors the soliton-host halo relation found in some numerical simulations over a broad range in the ULDM particle mass $m$. Combining the observational constraints with theoretical arguments for the efficiency of soliton formation via gravitational dynamical relaxation, and assuming that the soliton-halo relation is correct, our results disfavor ULDM from comprising 100\% of the total cosmological dark matter in the range $10^{-24}~{\rm eV}\lesssim m\lesssim10^{-20}~{\rm eV}$. The constraints probe the ULDM fraction down to $f\lesssim0.3$ of the total dark matter.

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different dehydration times of the tomato waste (0, 4, 24, 60 and 96 hours) added in the cassava peel silages on the density, fermentative losses, dry matter recovery, chemical composition, and sensorial quality. The material was ensiled for 60 days in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) silos. There was a linear reduction of 0.406 kg tonne-1 of fresh matter in the effluent production in the silages. A maximum dry matter (DM) loss (p<0.01) of 7.00% was found with 8.10 h of dehydration of the tomato wastes. There was a quadratic behavior (p<0.01) for crude protein (CP) and non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC), with minimum content of 9% CP and maximum content of 66.0% NFC with 3.53 h and 7.35 h of dehydration of the tomato wastes, respectively. The "satisfactory" classification was observed to the silages with 4, 24 and 96 h of dehydration of tomato waste in the sensory evaluation of the characteristics associated with the nutritional value. Cassava peel ensiling with tomato waste submitted to dehydration time of 7.35 hours is enough to promote an adequate non-fibrous carbohydrates content, associated with lower losses in the fermentation process.

description: A altura dominante de eucalipto pode apresentar forte autocorrelação espacial, sendo imprescindível investigar os métodos de interpolação na sua espacialização. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar métodos determinísticos e geoestatísticos na estimativa da altura dominante em povoamento de eucalipto. Em 14 talhões do gênero (377 hectares) foram avaliadas 233 unidades amostrais, obtendo-se as variáveis altura dominante e diâmetro a 1,30 m do solo. Os interpoladores espaciais avaliados foram os geoestatísticos (krigagem e cokrigagem ordinária) e determinísticos (inverso do quadrado da distância e polinôminio global do 10º grau). Ainda, aplicou-se a krigagem indicatriz para espacializar a probabilidade de locais com valores de altura dominante acima da média. Os resultados mostraram que a altura dominante de eucalipto apresenta-se com forte dependência espacial, sendo possível a sua espacialização tanto pela krigagem quanto cokrigagem ordinárias. Na presença da componente espacial, métodos determinísticos não são recomendados, em especial, os modelos polinomiais globais. A krigagem indicatriz viabiliza o mapeamento da probabilidade de uma determinada classe de produtividade ocorrer, subsidiando o planejamento da rotação florestal.

description: BaSnO$_3$ exhibits the highest carrier mobility among perovskite oxides, making it ideal for oxide electronics. Collective charge carrier oscillations, plasmons, are expected to arise in this material, thus providing a tool to control the nanoscale optical field for optoelectronics applications. Here, we demonstrate the existence of relatively long-lived plasmons supported by high-mobility charge carriers in La-doped BaSnO$_3$ (BLSO). By exploiting the high spatial and energy resolution of electron energy-loss spectroscopy with a focused beam in a scanning transmission electron microscope, we systematically investigate the dispersion, confinement ratio, and damping of infrared localized surface plasmons (LSP) in BLSO nanoparticles. We find that the LSPs in BLSO are highly spatially confined compared to those sustained by noble metals and have relatively low loss and high quality factor compared to other doped oxides. Further analysis clarifies the relation between plasmon damping and carrier mobility in BLSO. Our results support the use of nanostructured degenerate semiconductors for plasmonic applications in the infrared region and establish a relevant alternative to more traditional plasmonic materials.

description: O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar as possibilidades tecnológicas de produção de extrudidos à base de farinha de castanha. O delineamento experimental considerou três fatores, com cinco níveis por fator e seis repetições para o ponto central. Usou-se uma extrusora de parafuso único. Numa primeira etapa, testaram-se diferentes proporções de mistura de farinha de castanha e de milho. Foram ensaiados nas diferentes misturas o teor de humidade e temperatura de processamento. Avaliaram-se os produtos extrudidos quanto às modificações funcionais dos amidos, pelos parâmetros taxa de expansão, força de ruptura e energia de ruptura. Numa segunda etapa, fixou-se a composição a 100% castanha, e testou-se a velocidade do parafuso. Os extrudidos obtidos foram avaliados como anteriormente. A farinha de castanha crua apresenta uma temperatura de gelatinização relativamente baixa (59 °C) e alta consistência nas suas pastas. Seu amido caracterizou-se por uma relação amilose/amilopectina de 0,75, superior à da maioria dos cereais. O comportamento amilográfico das misturas e as características de textura dos extrudidos mostraram que a farinha de castanha tem potencial para ser utilizada como ingrediente na formulação de alimentos cozidos extrudidos. A análise sensorial revelou significativa aceitabilidade pelos elementos do painel para produtos processados a baixa humidade e temperatura intermédia.

description: We present a machine-learning approach, based on normalizing flows, for modelling atomic solids. Our model transforms an analytically tractable base distribution into the target solid without requiring ground-truth samples for training. We report Helmholtz free energy estimates for cubic and hexagonal ice modelled as monatomic water as well as for a truncated and shifted Lennard-Jones system, and find them to be in excellent agreement with literature values and with estimates from established baseline methods. We further investigate structural properties and show that the model samples are nearly indistinguishable from the ones obtained with molecular dynamics. Our results thus demonstrate that normalizing flows can provide high-quality samples and free energy estimates without the need for multi-staging.

description: We report on the realization of a new compact strontium optical clock using a 2-D magneto-optical-trap (2D-MOT) as cold atomic source and a multi-wavelength cavity as the frequency stabilization system. All needed optical frequencies are stabilized to a zero-thermal expansion high-finesse optical resonator and can be operated without frequency adjustments for weeks. We present the complete characterization of the apparatus. Optical control of the atomic source allows us to perform low-noise clock operation without atomic signal normalization. Long- and short-term stability tests of the clock have been performed for the 88 Sr bosonic isotope by means of interleaved clock operation. Finally, we present the first preliminary accuracy budget of the system.

Patterns of water flow in Riesling berries in relation to developmental changes in their xylem morphology

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Using a water soluable dye as tracer, the pattern of xylem water movement within Riesling berries was found to change soon after the onset of ripening, i. e. 'veraison'. Xylem water flow appears to be both slowed and diverted. Initially it flows predominantly in the berry's peripheral xylem system but later flow is much reduced and the remaining xylem component is exclusively in the progressively less conductive axial system serving the seeds. These changes which must force proportionately more water through the phloem path appear to be brought about by morphological change - the appearance of breaks in the peripheral xylem bundles - coinciding with the period of renewed expansion growth which occurs immediately after the onset of ripening. The diversion at this stage of development of the berries water supply from the peripheral to the axial xylem, and from the xylem system to the phloem system has important implications for the fruits ultimate mineral composition.

agronomic traits

description: Chickpea is the second most important food legume. Modelling of genotype-by-environment interactions and assessing the ability of a genotype to serve as a donor of adaptive alleles is essential for chickpea breeding. In this study we evaluated 171 accessions from the VIR collection - 147 landraces and 23 cultivars grown in contrasting climatic conditions in Kuban (45° 18′ N and 40° 52′ E) and Astrakhan (46°06′N and 48°04′E) and phenotyped for 12 agronomically important traits. Using IIIVmrMLM model in Multi_env mode we identified 233 QTNs with stable genetic effects across the environments and 204 QEIs with environment-specific effects. Four large-effect QEIs had R2 values higher than 10%, while the highest R2 value for a stable QTN was 4,2%. 43 QTNs and 40 QEIs were found within the bodies of the protein-coding genes or within 1-kb flanking regions and most likely tag the candidate casual genes. VIR landraces had many favorable alleles of the QTN loci with stable effect in Kuban and Astrakhan. At the same time, they had much more favorable Kuban-specific alleles of the QEI loci than Astrakhan-specific ones. The environment-specific alleles of the QEI loci can be used to improve the chickpea adaptation to specific climatic conditions.
Heritability and correlation studies of certain quantitative traits in table grapes, Vitis spp.

description: Heritabilities and phenotypic correlations among 10 traits of the grapevine (Vitis vinifera x V. rotundifolia hybrid derivatives) were estimated from measurements obtained from 46 families, induding a total of more than 1000 offspring generated by crosses among 26 parents. Measurements on fruit characters were obtained over a period of 4 years, 1976-1979. (General vigor of the vines was measured in only 1 year, 1976). Prior to this analysis the data on fruit traits were statistically adjusted to mitigate the confounding effects of fluctuating annual dimates on estimates of genotypic value. The heritabilities were then estimated by regressing the average performance of each seedling on the average performance of its mid-parent. Heritabilities are 0.12, 0.55, 0.49, 0.75, 1.04, 0.34, 0.15 and 0.10 for duster weight, duster compactness, berry weight, skin texture, pulp texture, total soluble solids, acidity of juice and general vigor, respectively. The heritability estimate for crop weight in this population is practically 0(-0.08). The precision of these estimates is very high, except for that of general vigor. Thus, they should be reliable predictors of the rate of genetic gain attainable in such populations when seedlings are selected as parents on the basis of their own performance. The expected performance of the progeny of randomly mated parents, ranked in the upper 5 % of the progeny generation, were estimated. The implications of these genetic relationships on the effectiveness and efficiency of breeding programs and selection procedures in grapes are discussed.

Phenologic and growth responses to early and late season water deficits in Cabernet franc

description: Phenologic and ontogenic responses to seasonal water deficits were investigated in the wine grape variety, Cabernet franc, in a California hillside vineyard. Water deficits were imposed by withholding irrigation water before or after the onset of veraison. In continually irrigated vines, midday leaf water potential (Ψ) declined from - 0.4 MPa to approximately -1.1 MPa between budbreak and veraison despite weekly irrigation at a rate which was 2 x the normal production practice for that commercial vineyard. Hence, water deficits may be a common component of grape production in hillside vineyards of California. When water was withheld until veraison, midday Ψ declined more rapidly and reached - 1.4 MPa at the time water was resupplied. For these vines, water status slowly recovered to the level of the continually irrigated vines. The water status of late deficit vines, (water withheld after veraison), decreased rapidly after veraison, reaching a minimum of - 1.6 MPa at harvest. These differences in vine water status had no effect on the major phenological indicators, i. e„ the timing (on basis of time or accumulation of degree days) of bloom, veraison, and harvest. However, early season deficits shortened the period of shoot elongation and node production, decreased the maximum rate of shoot elongation and node production, and accelerated periderm development on current season shoots. Possible ecological implications of accelerated periderm development are discussed. Shoot length and the number of nodes/shoot was reduced approximately 25 % by the early season water deficits. Radial shoot growth was also inhibited by early deficits but much less than axial shoot growth. Shoot growth had essentially ceased in all vines before late season deficits developed. The characteristic double-sigmoid growth pattern of berries was observed regardless of seasonal water deficits. Most fruit growth occurred during the first growth phase in all treatments. The rate of fruit growth was inhibited by early and late season water deficits. Yield was decreased more by early deficits than by late deficits.

description: It has been shown that at the semi-classical order, gravitational theories with quantum fluctuations can be effectively recast as modified theories of gravity with non-minimal gravity-matter couplings. We proceed from an observational perspective and see whether such quantum fluctuations can leave imprints on the late Universe. Within the teleparallel formulation, we investigate a representative model in this general class of modified gravitational theories inlaid with quantum fluctuations, and determine the cosmological parameters by using compiled late-time data sets. Furthermore, we assess the statistical significance of such quantum corrections compared to the standard cosmological model. The results mildly favor the inclusion of quantum corrections with a negative density parameter supporting a phantom-like dark energy. This edge is not sufficient to rule out either models but it supports the consideration of quantum corrections in a cosmological setting.

description: • For 16 grapevine rootstocks, the critical chilling temperatures were determined. There were great differences in cold hardiness among these vines. The cold hardiness öf several newly introduced rootstocks was higher than that of rootstock variety Beta and they showed even multiple resistance. Thus, after further testing experiments, they might become valuable rootstocks in cold regions. • There were some differences in cold hardiness among 3 fruiting varieties tested. This finding can be used as reference in formulating winter protection measures for own-rooted grapes. • Comparative examination of the methods for testing cold hardiness showed that the combination of electrolytic conductance method with root section culture was simple and reliable for measuring cold hardiness of grape roots, while TTC reduction method, because of its Jack of regularity in test results, was not suitable for this purpose. • The characteristics of root structure have certain correlations with cold hardiness: (i) Varieties with higher cold hardiness have smaller hark and ray cells than tender varieties and their tissue structure is more compact. (ii) Vessel diameter is smaller and vessel density is lower in hardy varieties. (iii) Varieties with higher cold h ardiness have a lower percentage of hark and a higher rate of xylem in their roots. Thus, these characteristics of root structure could be used as an additional index in forecasting and screening cold hardiness of grape roots.

description: 52 red wines produced in the Tarragona province (Catalonia, Spain), 1983 vintage, belonging to 4 different regions, namely Priorat, Terra Alta, Camp de Tarragona and Falset, have been characterized and differentiated according to their geographic origin on the basis of 17 parameters measured for each sample and 3 pattern recognition methods: Statistical Quadratic Discriminant Analysis, K-Nearest Neighbour and Linear Learning Machine. The meta! ions manganese, magnesium, iron and sodium, along with the enological parameters ethanol content, alkalinity of ashes and titratable acidity have been found as the most relevant ones in this study. The lack of varietal differences together with quite similar climatic and cultural conditions due to the geographic contiguity of the studied zones leads to a maximum prediction ability of 87 % with the Linear Learning Machine method.

description: Inspired by the newly observed $T_{cc}^+$ state, we systematically investigate the $S$-wave triple-charm molecular states composed of $D^*D^*D$ and $D^*D^*D^*$. We employ the one-boson-exchange model to derive the interactions between $D(D^*)$ and $D^*$ and solve the three-body Schrödinger equations with the Gaussian expansion method. The $S$-$D$ mixing and coupled channel effects are carefully assessed in our study. Our results show that the $I(J^P)=\frac{1}{2}(0^-,1^-,2^-)$ $D^*D^*D$ and $I(J^P)=\frac{1}{2}(0^-,1^-,2^-,3^-)$ $D^*D^*D^*$ systems could form bound states, which can be viewed as three-body hadronic molecules. We present not only the binding energies of the three-body bound states, but also the root-mean-square radii of $D $-$D^*$ and $D^*$-$D^*$, which further corroborate the molecular nature of these states. These predictions could be tested in the future at LHC or HL-LHC.

Περιλαμβάνει επίσης στοιχεία από άλλες ειδικότητες της μηχανικής, όπως διασφάλιση ποιότητας και διαχείριση έργων. Τέλος, δεν αποτελεί μόνο γνωστικό αντικείμενο στο επίπεδο της θεωρίας, αλλά σχετίζεται ισχυρά με το τελικό αποτέλεσμα και το κόστος της κατασκευής, το οποίο έχει σημαντικές επιπτώσεις στο περιβάλλον που χρησιμοποιείτα. Με την έννοια αυτή, η Τεχνολογία Λογισμικού είναι ό,τι περίπου η διαχείριση μεγάλων τεχνικών έργων, η οποία δεν μπορεί παρά να γίνεται από μηχανικούς που αντιλαμβάνονται όλες τις επιμέρους γνωστικές περιοχές ενός έργου, αλλά και το κόστος δημιουργίας και λειτουργίας του.

Η ραγδαία εξέλιξη της επιστήμης της πληροφορικής δημιούργησε τεράστια ανάγκη για την παραγωγή λογισμικού που σήμερα βρίσκεται κυριολεκτικά σε κάθε σύγχρονη συσκευή η οποία ενσωματώνει κάποιας μορφής ηλεκτρονικό υπολογιστή. Ωστόσο η ανάπτυξη του λογισμικού συνεχίζει να αποτελεί πρόκληση, η μη αντιμετώπιση της οποίας συχνά οδηγεί σε αποτυχημένα έργα μεγάλης κλίμακας, με το κόστος να είναι μόνο μία από τις επιπτώσεις. Παράλληλα, το λογισμικό είναι ένας ισχυρός μοχλός ανάπτυξης που απαιτεί μόνο επένδυση σε μυαλό.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, η πειθαρχημένη αντιμετώπιση της ανάπτυξης λογισμικού αποτελεί μεγάλη πρόκληση την οποία καλείται να αντιμετωπίσει η θεματική ομπρέλα που καλύπτει το πλήθος γνωστικών αντικειμένων της πληροφορικής, η οποία ονομάζεται "Τεχνολογία Λογισμικού". Σε αυτή την πειθαρχημένη αντιμετώπιση στοχεύει να συμβάλλει το προτεινόμενο βιβλίο το οποίο αποτελεί εξέλιξη ενός δίτομου έργου του οποίου η αρχική συγγραφή έγινε πριν από 12 έτη.

description: Recent works have shown that weak lensing magnification must be included in upcoming large-scale structure analyses, such as for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), to avoid biasing the cosmological results. In this work we investigate whether including magnification has a positive impact on the precision of the cosmological constraints, as well as being necessary to avoid bias. We forecast this using an LSST mock catalog and a halo model to calculate the galaxy power spectra. We find that including magnification has little effect on the precision of the cosmological parameter constraints for an LSST galaxy clustering analysis, where the halo model parameters are additionally constrained by the galaxy luminosity function. In particular, we find that for the LSST gold sample ($i < 25.3$) including weak lensing magnification only improves the galaxy clustering constraint on $Ω_{\rm{m}}$ by a factor of 1.03, and when using a very deep LSST mock sample ($i<26.5$) by a factor of 1.3. Since magnification predominantly contributes to the clustering measurement and provides similar information to that of cosmic shear, this improvement would be reduced for a combined galaxy clustering and shear analysis. We also confirm that not modelling weak lensing magnification will catastrophically bias the cosmological results from LSST. Magnification must therefore be included in LSST large-scale structure analyses even though it does not significantly enhance the precision of the cosmological constraints.

General theory for thermal and nonthermal quantum linear engines

description: We present the exact theory of quantum engines whose working medium is a network of driven oscillators performing an arbitrary cyclic process while coupled to thermal and nonthermal reservoirs. We show that when coupled to a single reservoir work cannot be extracted unless there is population inversion, and prove that the ratio between the heat flowing out and into the working medium cannot be arbitrarily small, satisfying a form of Clausius inequality. We use such identity to prove that the efficiency of linear quantum engines satisfies a generalized bound, which coincides with the Carnot limit for thermal reservoirs. The previous results enable us to estimate the cost of preparing nonthermal reservoirs, which, if available, could be used to violate the Carnot limit.

description: Mandatory Folic Acid (FA) fortification of staple foods
in a number of countries and periconceptional supplementation has led to increased levels of FA intake. There is ongoing controversy over the effect of FA supplementation on cancer risk, with high levels of FA (≥400ug/day) associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. FA is thought to infer cancer risk through modulation of the epigenome. Here, we investigated whether variations in FA intake
during adulthood induced persistent changes in the
expression of the tumour suppressor gene Brca1 and
the pluripotency gene Oct-4, which play key roles in
DNA repair and cellular differentiation.

description: This work aimed at investigating the potential of the rice grain and its milling fractions (from clay and sandy soils) as sources of antioxidant compounds. Ten phenolic acids and four flavonoids were identified in their free and bound forms and were found to be mainly associated with the bran and the husk. On a whole grain basis, ferulic and p-coumaric acids accounted for 72% and 20% of total phenolic acids, respectively. The contents of the chemopreventive flavonoid tricin in the husk, bran, brown rice and white rice were 384.00, 39.71, 7.36 and 0.50 mg/kg, respectively. Eight vitamin E isomers, γ-oryzanol and phytic acid were also identified, and their distribution in the rice grain was recorded in the following decreasing order: bran, brown rice, white rice and husk. Overall, these results showed that the bran and husk of rice were rich sources of antioxidant compounds, revealing the potential multipurpose use of the rice grain parts.
