This study compared surface roughness and gloss produced by different finishing/polishing procedures for two resin composites, Clearfil AP-X (AP-X) and Estelite Sigma (ES). A total of 70 composite discs (n=35 for each resin composite) were prepared and divided at random into seven finishing/polishing groups (n=5): glass-pressed control; using a super-fine-grit diamond bur (SF); using CompoMaste...

Currently, the genome sequencing community is producing shotgun sequence data at a very high rate, but finishing (collecting additional directed sequence data to close gaps and improve the quality of the data) is not matching that rate. One reason for the difference is that shotgun sequencing is highly automated but finishing is not: Most finishing decisions, such as which directed reads to obt...

A HIGH incidence of phosphate urinary calculi in sheep has been associated with the feeding of rations containing dibasic potassium phosphate (Lindley et al., 1953; Elam et al., 1956, 1957). Further, Lindley et al. (1953) observed elevated plasma phosphorus levels under these conditions. Emerick et al. (1959) observed high plasma phosphorus levels in lambs subsequently afflicted with urinary mi...

The mineral status in two ecosystems typical of the Iberian Peninsula was evaluated. Ecosystem I was formed by forests and ecosystem II by hilly areas. The levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc and selenium in soils, rations and serum were measured. The concentratons of iron, copper, zinc and selenium were also checked in liver. Ecosystem I showed higher values of every m...

In magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can remove chip from surface of work piece. In this study AL 6061 tube was considered as the work piece and the effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed of tube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. The mixture of ferromagne...

The aim of this study was to assess lycopene intake in daily food rations of women (n = 725) from the Lower Silesia region. The data on the lycopene intake were collected using 24-hour recall and diet history questionnaire. The intake of lycopene was not too low. The average lycopene contents in the daily food rations of 725 women from Lower Silesia region was 7.5 mg. The highest lycopene intak...

Experiments were conducted to assess the feasibility of recycling poultry litter in the diets of young calves. Weaning rations containing 30% ensiled or unprocessed poultry litter gave unsatisfactory growth when fed to calves from two to twelve weeks of age. However, when these twelve week old calves were fed rations containing 30% or 50% poultry litter and sorghum, the costs/kg. gain were 19.5...
