OpenEnergyMonitor. Oil, Protein and Moisture Determination in Seeds Using NMR. The Oregon State University Seed Laboratory proudly announces a new testing service!

We can now test seeds for oil, protein and moisture content using NMR spectrometry, a non-destructive technology. What is NMR is used for? Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (NMR), is used for determining oil, protein and moisture content in seeds of various oil crops. The instrument is calibrated for several oil crops including soybean, camelina, canola, meadowfoam, and euphorbia, and can be calibrated for other species as needed.

Tests can be performed in whole seeds or meals. The need for NMR With the diversification of crops in Oregon and the search for crops to be used for biodiesel production, the need to determine the oil content of such crops has emerged. In the past, researchers have had to send their oil seeds out of the state for oil and protein analysis. The principle of the test The NMR technique measures the resonance energy absorbed by hydrogen atoms in the sample. Research potential. Control.com - Nerds in Control. U.S. Mobile Customers Now Prefer Android Phones Over iPhones [STATS] Google has won another small victory in the long and documented battle between Android and Apple operating systems.

For the first time, Android phones are the most coveted smartphones among U.S. mobile consumers, according to a survey Nielsen released Tuesday. In a series of monthly surveys between January 2011 and March 2011, 31% of consumers who were planning on getting a new smartphone indicated that Android was their preferred OS, compared to 30% who preferred the iPhone. The same surveys in July and September 2010 showed that 26% of these consumers wanted an Android phone while 33% wanted an iPhone.

Comparisons like these aren't perfect. Android's OS runs on multiple devices made by non-Google manufacturers, while iOS runs exclusively on Apple devices. But Android's increasing presence on smartphone wish lists does suggest increasing competition for Apple's iPhone in the future, as do current trends in market share.
