Series of experimental short films that envision post-apocalyptic worlds and nightmarish scenarios. A race of ruthless reptilian aliens have invaded the Earth and enslaved humanity. The survivors are fighting a losing battle, but hope comes from strange allies.

Oats are a good source of soluble dietary fiber, especially β-glucan, which has outstanding functional and nutritional properties. β-Glucan is considered to be the major active component of oats because of its cholesterol-lowering and antidiabetic effects.

Oats have been shown to benefit cardiovascular health and improve insulin resistance. However, the evidence linking oat consumption with CVD, T2D and all-cause mortality remains inconclusive.

Oat is among the food crops and ancient grains cultivated and consumed worldwide. It is gaining in popularity owing to its nutritional composition and multifunctional benefits of select bioactive compounds. Beta-glucan is an important component of dietary fiber found in oat grains.

Long-term food studies confirm the safety of oats for coeliac disease patients and the positive health effects of oat products in a gluten-free diet. These effects are general and independent of oat varieties.

Oat flakes and flour appeared to have a more significant effect on lipolysis than purified β-glucan. These findings show that the positive action of β-glucan is likely to involve complex processes and interactions with the food matrix.

Nitrogen fertilisation impacts on a number of agronomic traits in oats including plant height, grain yield and milling quality (Givens et al., 2004, Browne et al., 2006, Ma et al., 2017). High levels of nitrogen application have been shown to increase lodging which can significantly reduce yield ( Berry et al., 2004 , Yan et al., 2017 ).
