Background: Two hard wheat varieties and one soft variety grown under the same agroecological conditions were analyzed for their physical and uniaxial stress-strain compression properties.
Results: The physical properties of wheat kernel were determined at a moisture content of 0.13 kg kg(-1) (wet basis), whereas the stress-strain compression test was conducted at a kernel moisture content from 0.
Introduction: Bisphosphonates are synthetic compounds used in treatment of osteoporosis and inhibition of bone resorption.
Material And Methods: The research included a group of 30 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, treated with alendronate (70 mg per week--Fosamax tablets in combination with calcium and active vitamin D--Alpha D3 0.25mcg).
