Excluding raw material cost, durum wheat protein requirements in the pasta industry will vary, depending upon processing systems, manufacturers’ quality philosophy, consumer demands, product line, raw material availability, blending capabilities(with common wheat or wheat of differing origins), etc. In general, however, a minimum protein content for durum wheat destined for pasta manufacturing is about 14 to 15 percent dry matter basis. Due to loss of protein during the milling process, the corresponding semolina protein content would be 13 to 14 percent dry matter basis. 2, record 1, English, - minimum%20protein%20content

Environment Canada has been making use of automated surface weather observation systems since 1969, with the installation of the MARS I(Meteorological Automatic Reporting System) generation of autostations. MARS II followed in 1975, MAPS I(Modular Acquisition Processing System) in 1979 and MAPS II in 1983. In general, these autostations observe and transmit only the basic weather parameters of pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction, although a few have the capability to report cloud, visibility, and precipitation accumulation. 1, record 6, English, - Modular%20Acquisition%20Processing%20System
