the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of storage and temperature on egg physical quality in hyline chickens line. a total of 150 eggs from college of natural resources farm were sampled for the present experiment. about 70 eggs each were stored in home refrigerator (temperature, 7.46±0.23 ˚c; relative humidity, 24.80±0.05%) and room temperature (temperature, 22.98±1.12 ˚c; relative hu...

1 Abstract In this paper, we evaluate storage system alternatives for movies-on-demand video servers. We begin by characterizing the movies-on-demand workload. We brieey discuss performance in disk arrays. First, we study disk farms in which one movie is stored per disk. This is a simple scheme, but it wastes substantial disk bandwidth, since disks holding less popular movies are under-utilized...

Popular government presupposes the existence of liberty, equality, and justice as its fundamental principles. Theoretically these principles prevail in Michigan. Practically they do not. How is it as to political rights ? One-half of the people, though subject to the laws, have no voice in making those laws. Their right to vote and the right of the people to cast their votes for them is denied....

Then we study disk farms in which one movie is stored per disk. This is a simple scheme, but it wastes substantial disk bandwidth, since disks holding less popular movies are under-utilized; also, good performance requires that movies be...

Increasing amounts of variable renewable generation are likely to enter our energy systems in the near future. In order to accommodate this generation onto our electricity networks, the concept of active network management (ANM) has become a significant area of research interest. Network connected energy storage is considered here as a means to actively control the network in order to increase ...

This paper addresses a multistage stochastic model for the optimal operation of wind farm, pumped storage and thermal power plants. The output of the wind farm and the electrical demand are considered as two independent stochastic processes. The evolution of these processes over time is modeled as a scenario tree. Considering all possible realizations of stochastic process, leads to a huge set ...

This paper endeavors to apply a novel intelligent damping controller (NIDC) for the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to reduce the power fluctuations, voltage support and damping in a hybrid power multi-system. In this paper, we discuss the integration of an offshore wind farm (OWF) and a seashore wave power farm (SWPF) via a high-voltage, alternating current (HVAC) electric power trans...

This report describes one of the largest egg-associated outbreaks of foodborne illness in Australia for many years. Between June and December 2005, five outbreaks of Salmonella Typhimurium phage type 135 were identified in Tasmania, leading to 125 laboratory-confirmed cases. Public health investigations included case and food handler interviews, cohort studies, environmental health investigatio...
