Field experiments were conducted in 2007 and 2008 to evaluate heat treatment for disinfestations of empty concrete elevator silos. A Mobile Heat Treatment Unit was used to introduce heat into silos to attain target conditions of 50 degrees C for at least 6 h. Ventilated plastic containers with a capacity of 100 g of wheat, Triticum aestivum L., held Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostri...

BACKGROUND The management of giant omphalocele (GO) presents a major challenge to pediatric surgeons. Current treatment modalities may result in wound infection, fascial separation, and abdominal domain loss. We report a GO infant who required a delayed closure and was managed using sterile incision drape and polypropylene mesh. METHODS A 3080 g full-term female infant was born with a GO. The...

mycotoxins are an increasingly discussed topic. several scientific reports have been written which review the effects of these toxic substances on the health and productivity of animals. however, there is a lack of work regarding the incidence of mycotoxins in ensiled material and the consequences of this occurrence. in this review, practical and field information was converged with scientific ...

This project utilizes integral calculus to find the exact volume of a non-uniform cylindrical-shaped silo used store wheat and calculate cost material utilized build such silo. Due its shape, is divided into two sections each calculated. The final for with measurements provided approximately 2330.02 meters cubic surface area 1074.96 squared, which considered be large capacity With there are cos...

OBJECTIVES Gastroschisis is a congenital anomaly affecting 2.3-4.4/10,000 births. Previous studies show initiation of early enteral feeds predicts improved outcomes. We hypothesize that earlier definitive closure after silo placement; can lead to earlier enteral feed initiation. Design/ Setting/ Duration: Retrospective review of patients with gastroschisis from 2005 and 2014 at a single institu...

Asthma is an important public health problem because of its increasing prevalence and associated morbidity. It is a major research issue because its aetiology is not established and the reasons for its increasing occurrence are unknown. Occupational asthma is a valuable model of asthma caused by specific environmental exposures which could be useful for a better understanding of the disease.' R...

In the present work the results of a survey conducted in Sardinia Region on Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in milk of small ruminants from 2005 to 2013 are reported. A total of 517 sheep and 88 goat milk samples from bulk tank, tank trucks and silo tank milk were collected. Analyses were performed by the Regional Farmers Association laboratory using high-performance liquid chromatography fol...

Smouldering fires in wood pellet silos are not uncommon. The fires are often difficult to deal with and extinguishment is a lengthy process. Injection of inert gasses to prevent oxygen from reaching the smouldering fire zone and suppress combustion is a new firefighting strategy. This article argues that injection of inert carbon dioxide into the silo headspace is unsafe. Carbon dioxide is gene...

To achieve sensitivity, comfort, and durability in vital sign monitoring, this study explores the use of radar technologies in wearable devices. The study first detected the respiratory rates and heart rates of a subject at a one-meter distance using a self-injection-locked (SIL) radar and a conventional continuous-wave (CW) radar to compare the sensitivity versus power consumption between the ...
