A Procedure for Determining Poultry House Ventilation

Whole House Ventilation Strategies

A detailed computer analysis was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of three alternative practices for controlling moisture accumulation in the walls of manufactured housing during the winter. The three practices included (1) providing an interior vapor retarder, (2) using permeable sheathing and siding, and (3) providing an outdoor ventilated cavity. The current HUD Manufactured Home C...

Smart Control for Natural Ventilation House

A series of investigations has been conducted in the 2009 Solar House located on the Missouri University of Science and Technology campus, to develop a climate-response control for a natural ventilation system. Firstly, the research investigated the relationship between indoor thermal comfort and climate. Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) was selected to evaluate the thermal comfort, which was calculat...

A New Precision–Fed Chick Assay for Determining True Metabolizable Energy Values of some Poultry Feed Ingredients for Broiler Chickens

Two experiments were conducted to determine: first, the best time of excreta collection after force feeding of broilers to yield the maximal amount of excreta, and second, nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy contents of some poultry feedstuffs including yellow corn, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, canola meal and poultry by-product meal by a new precision-fed chick assay using 3-week-o...

An improved procedure for determining thromboplastin generation.

Photometric procedure for determining esterase activity.

IN MOST OF THE ANALYTIC PROCEDURES for assaying the esterase content of biologic tissues and fluids, the extent of enzymatic hydrolysis is determined either titri.metrically, manometrically, or photometrically. In the photometric methods the alcoholic component of the substrate is such that its unesterifled form can be measured either directly as such (1-6), or indirectly as a colored derivativ...
