Garden cress ( Lepidium sativum L.) – A non conventional traditional Plant Item for food product
2013Co-Authors: Nidhi Agarwal, Sheel SharmaAbstract:Garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.), is a traditional Plant that has been relegated to the margins on account of its off-beat to pungent odour and presence of antinutrients despite a high density of nutrients and bioactive substances in its seeds and other Plant parts. In the present study, garden cress seeds were quantitatively analyzed as whole (WGCSP), husk removed (HRGCSP), husk (HGCSP), roasted (RGCSP) and microwave processed (MPGCSP) forms, for proximate principles, selected minerals, and phenol content. Thereafter, a representative food product was developed in various versions incorporating each type of powders and evaluated for acceptability characteristic. The results revealed that all forms of garden cress seeds were good sources of macro (protein and fat) as well as micro (iron, calcium and phosphorous) nutrients. Processing is improved acceptability by denting anti-nutrients and off flavor components. All versions of Mathri - the product developed were found moderately to highly acceptable. The product versions developed from all types of powders made the product rich in nutrients including energy, protein, iron, calcium and phosphorous along with antioxidants making it value added to treat various diseases, including protein energy malnutrition, anemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

The foraging behavior of Japanese macaques Macaca fuscata in a forested enclosure: Effects of nutrient composition, energy and its seasonal variation on the consumption of natural Plant foods
Oxford University Press, 2010Co-Authors: Firoj M. Jaman, Michael A. Huffman, Hiroyuki TakemotoAbstract:In the wild, primate foraging behaviors are related to the diversity and nutritional properties of food, which are affected by seasonal variation. The goal of environmental enrichment is to stimulate captive animals to exhibit similar foraging behavior of their wild counterparts, e.g. to extend foraging time. We conducted a 12-month study on the foraging behavior of Japanese macaques in a semi-naturally forested enclosure to understand how they use both provisioned foods and naturally available Plant foods and what are the nutritional criteria of their consumption of natural Plants. We recorded time spent feeding on provisioned and natural Plant foods and collected the Plant parts ingested of their major Plant food species monthly, when available. We conducted nutritional analysis (crude protein, crude lipid, neutral detergent fiber-‘NDF’, ash) and calculated total non-structural carbohydrate – ‘TNC’ and total energy of those food Items. Monkeys spent 47% of their feeding time foraging on natural Plant species. The consumption of Plant parts varied significantly across seasons. We found that leaf Items were consumed in months when crude protein, crude protein-to-NDF ratio, TNC and total energy were significantly higher and NDF was significantly lower, fruit/nut Items in months when crude protein and TNC were significantly higher and crude lipid content was significantly lower, and bark Items in months when TNC and total energy were higher and crude lipid content was lower. This preliminary investigation showed that the forested enclosure allowed troop members to more fully express their species typical flexible behavior by challenging them to adjust their foraging behavior to seasonal changes of Plant Item diversity and nutritional content, also providing the possibility for individuals to nutritionally enhance their diet [Current Zoology 56 (2): 198–208, 2010]

a two phase inspection model for a single component system with three stage degradation
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2017Co-Authors: Wenbin Wang, Huiying Wang, Rui PengAbstract:Abstract This paper presents a two-phase inspection schedule and an age-based replacement policy for a single Plant Item contingent on a three-stage degradation process. The two phase inspection schedule can be observed in practice. The three stages are defined as the normal working stage, low-grade defective stage and critical defective stage. When an inspection detects that an Item is in the low-grade defective stage, we may delay the preventive replacement action if the time to the age-based replacement is less than or equal to a threshold level. However, if it is above this threshold level, the Item will be replaced immediately. If the Item is found in the critical defective stage, it is replaced immediately. A hybrid bee colony algorithm is developed to find the optimal solution for the proposed model which has multiple decision variables. A numerical example is conducted to show the efficiency of this algorithm, and simulations are conducted to verify the correctness of the model.

Plant residual time modelling based on observed variables in oil samples
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2009Co-Authors: Wenbin Wang, Burairah HussinAbstract:This paper presents a model and methodology for estimating the residual time of a Plant Item. This Plant Item can be an engine or any complex technical system monitored by a regularly spaced oil analysis programme. Typically in the oil samples taken, two groups of observed variables are available, namely, metal concentrations and variables related to the condition of the lubricant and contaminants. We term the former as internal variables and the latter as external variables. External variables are those that may cause the change of the underlying condition of the Plant Item and therefore the residual time, while internal variables are those variables that only reflect the residual time but cannot change it. We modelled both variables in an oil-based monitoring case, but the principle can be generalized to other monitoring situations. The main techniques used are stochastic filtering for residual time prediction and the maximum likelihood method for parameters estimation. The model established was fitted to the real data of marine diesel engines monitored by an oil analysis programme and the results are presented.
