The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which genetic selection for residual feed intake (RFI) impacts electron leakage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in mitochondria from muscle and liver tissue. Understanding how genetic selection for RFI impacts animal physiology and growth efficiency is of the utmost importance as the world population increases. Production e...

The absolute luminosity of the Fe Kα emission line from matter illuminated by X-rays in astrophysical sources is nontrivial to calculate except when the line-emitting medium is optically-thin to absorption and scattering. We characterize the Fe Kα line flux using a dimensionless efficiency, defined as the fraction of continuum photons above the Fe K shell absorption edge threshold energy that a...

In the paper authors discuss the quality estimation of assembly line balancing problem. Task are assigned to workstations and the calculated measures show the quality of the final results. Because even optimal solutions contain idle times, the estimation of quality of end results is very important. In the literature we can find different measures but the most useful are: line efficiency, smooth...

This paper compares ray tracing, finite difference time domain, and the event driven transmission line matrix models as tools for making site specific pathloss predictions in cluttered environments. A brief overview of each type of model is presented. The accuracy and computational cost of a ray tracing, FDTD, and event based TLM model are compared for a small, indoor propagation experiment. Th...

The proliferation of wireless broadband network usage over the last decade has led to the development and deployment of multiple broadband wireless radio access technologies (RATs) such as EVDO, WiMAX, HSPA and LTE. To support the ever-increasing wireless traffic demand, researchers have worked on the concept of an integrated heterogeneous wireless environment that encompasses several of these ...

Line balancing is an effective tool to improve the throughput of assembly line while reducing nonvalue-added activities, cycle time. LB is the problem of assigning operation to workstation along an assembly line, in such a way that assignment is optimal in some sense. This paper mainly focuses on improving overall efficiency of single model assembly line by reducing the non value added activiti...
