Flaxseed cake containing antioxidants is a valuable dietary component. Its nutritional effect may be diminished by the presence of anti-nutrients. The work was aimed at determining the effect of different contents of flaxseed cake in diets and their administration period on the development of rats and selected parameters of their health status. Diets with 15% and 30% addition of genetically mod...

Adding nanoparticles in a drilling fluid can aid the sealing of nanopores borehole wall rock and mud cake; this way, filtrate loss be reduced is stabilized. In work, spectrophotometric method was used to study effect dispersants on calcium carbonate nanoparticles. The best dispersion achieved at cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) concentration 4 wt%, dispersing time 45 min, pH value 8 stirr...

Filter cake trials with sugarcane in pot and field experiments have shown large yield responses to treatment with filter cake. The first invaders of filter cake were found to be yeasts and bacteria (non-spore formers) which use the free sugars still available in the filter cake. The second invaders were several fungi which were able to attack the available fibrous matter in the filter cake. In ...

AIM To assess the effect of mustard cake (Brassica juncea L.) levels in concentrate mixtures and in composite feed mixtures (CFMs) on in-vitro fermentation characteristics and methane production. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five concentrate mixtures were prepared with containing 30% oil cake, where linseed cake was replaced by mustard cake at the rate of 0%, 7.5%, 15.0%, 22.5%, and 30% in concentra...

Tokyo, which is located near the boundary between North American and Philippine Sea plates, has been frequently struck by large earthquakes throughout Holocene. The 1923 Taisho Kanto Earthquake a rare historical earthquake that can be reconstructed in detail because abundant datasets were collected investigations performed just after earthquake. We examined 13,000 borehole logs from Tokyo Nakag...

This study aimed to determine the impact of replacing soybean meal with peanut cake in the diets of crossbred Boer goats as determined by carcass characteristics and quality and by the fatty acid profile of meat. Forty vaccinated and dewormed crossbred Boer goats were used. Goats had an average age of 5 mo and an average BW of 15.6 ± 2.7 kg. Goats were fed Tifton-85 hay and a concentrate consis...

This study compared the nutritional value of canola (B. napa) and mustard (B. hirta) press cakes obtained from the biodiesel industry as ingredients for use in diets fed to broiler chickens. A total of 210, one-day old, male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of seven dietary treatments. The control diet was based on wheat and soybean meal and contained 15% canola meal. For the experi...

The application of broiler manure and bedding (litter) on land has been a long-used disposal method that benefits plant and soil. For proper manure management, factors such as nutrient content, house cleaning management, application methods, and many land, crop, and climatic factors must be considered. A study was undertaken to characterize broiler cake and broiler litter as the by-products of ...

With increasing production of red mud, the environmental problems caused by it are increasingly serious, and thus the integrated treatment of red mud is imminent. This article provides an overview of the composition and the basic characteristics of red mud. The research progress of safe stockpiling and comprehensive utilization of red mud is summarized. The safe stockpiling of red mud can be di...

Drilling during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 160 (April–May, 1995) revealed important new evidence concerning the internal composition, depositional processes, and age of two mud volcanoes within the Mediterranean Ridge accretionary complex. Holes were drilled at ca. 2000 m water depth on the crest areas, across the flanks of the mud volcanoes, and onto adjacent deep-sea sediments. The main depos...
