The gob-side entry retaining (GER) technique, as the family member of pillarless coal mining system, is becoming popular, mainly attributed to its high resource recovery rate and significant environmental benefits. Seeking cost-effective backfill material develop roadside backfilling body (RBB) generally a hot topic for operators scholars. Except relatively cost, other shortcoming widely used h...

We present optical and infrared photometry of stars near the MBM 12 dark cloud. The optical data indicate that there are about 40 candidate pre–main sequence stars in the same area currently occupied by eight bona–fide PMS stars. Analysis of 2MASS data suggests that 60% of PMS candidates had been detected. Some of these show evidence of optically thick disks. Our study of the 2MASS data also re...

Two experiments were conducted using direct method to determine the standardized ileal phosphorus (P) digestibility coefficient (SIPDC) of meat and bone meal (MBM) poultry byproduct (PBM) for broilers. In first experiment, three MBM from different batches evaluated, with four treatments (MBMI, MBMII, MBMIII, a P-free diet) nine replicates seven birds each, totaling 252 distributed across comple...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To evaluate a mind-body medicine (MBM) program for its impact on persistent fatigue following breast cancer treatment. DESIGN Quasiexperimental. SETTING An urban community hospital and a health department in a semirural county, both in Maryland. SAMPLE 68 breast cancer survivors who were at least six months postadjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy and had a ba...

Background and study aims In recent years, it has been reported that early Barrett's and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) neoplasia can be effectively and safely treated using endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Multiband mucosectomy (MBM) appears to be the safest EMR method. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the safety and efficacy of MBM c...

PURPOSE To present an alternative approach to mission-based management (MBM) for assessing the clinical teaching efforts of the faculty in the third and fourth years of medical students' education. METHOD In fiscal years 2000 and 2001, interviews were conducted with department chairs and faculty members with major responsibilities in education at the University of Maryland School of Medicine....

The nutritive value of meat and bone meals (MBM) was assessed for broilers. The MBM was produced according to the revised (pressure) processing system ordered by the European Union (EC 96/449). Three batches of MBM from cattle (MBMcattle) and three from pigs (MBMpig) with different ash contents (224, 306, 387, and 209,293, 430 g/kg, respectively) were tested for digestibility at a 10% inclusion...

Thermal utilization of meat-and-bone meal (MBM) is subject to stringent regulations that are meant provide elimination any potential pathogens. Incineration as well other possible routes for thermal conversion MBM still at the research state. The universal technology was developed allows combust various types waste organic materials, including animal waste, municipal solid and sludge, mixed rat...

Two experiments with growing pigs were conducted to determine the effects of dietary P and Ca level, phytase supplementation, and ileal pectin infusion on ileal and fecal P and Ca balance, chemical composition of fecal mixed bacterial mass (MBM), and bacterial metabolic activity. Pigs (initial BW = 30 kg) were fitted with simple T-cannulas at the distal ileum. They were fed a low-P corn-soybean...

We report on distance determinations for two high Galactic latitude cloud complexes, G192-67 and MBM 23-24. No distance determination exists in the literature for either cloud. Thirty-four early type stars were observed towards the two clouds, more than half of which have parallaxes measured by the Hipparcos satellite. For the remaining stars we have made spectroscopic distance estimates. The d...
