and Implications The aim of this study was to test if further grinding of corn DDGS is advantageous in terms of apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of DM, GE, nitrogen (N), and NDF in growing and finishing pigs. It was also tested to determine if ATTD was different between hammermill and roller mill grinding methods. There were 3 diets. Each diet consisted of 51% corn ground at 500 micron...

This paper concerns the tension control of roll-to-roll systems. In such systems, each driven roller speed is controlled separatly. The impact of the master roller position on tension control performances is studied using optimized web tension control synthesis. The tension disturbance rejection property and the system robustness regarding web elasticity variations are analysed for each configu...

Burnishing is cold working process where hard roller are being pressed against irregular surface, so that surface finish and the micro hardness increases. In this study internal roller burnishing tool is used to burnish the drilled hole. Speed, feed, and number of passes have been varied using taguchi method to examine the surface finish and microhardness. Anova analysis is carried out. Surface...

BACKGROUND Few studies have provided evidence to verify that bottle-feeding has negative effects on breastfeeding. There is insufficient evidence to support the practice of cup-feeding to supplement breastfeeding. However, it has been applied as a substitute for bottle-feeding to promote breastfeeding. The aims of this study were to explore the differences in infant sucking competence, infant s...

Oxygen saturation is lower during bottle feeding than during breastfeeding in preterm infants. Our objective was to compare two different bottle systems in healthy preterm infants before discharge in terms of SpO(2) and oral feeding efficiency (rate of milk intake). Infants without supplement oxygen needs were evaluated twice on the same day during two consecutive feeds, by the same nurse. Infa...

A study comparing the recovery of microorganisms from a transiently vented biphasic brain heart infusion medium bottle and a vacuum bottle containing tryptic soy broth demonstrated that growth was initially detected on the slant of the biphasic bottle or on a routine subculture of either broth in nearly 50% of instances. All organisms were isolated equally well in both bottles, with the excepti...

Article history: Received: 08.11.2013. Received in revised form: 12.01.2013. Accepted: 14.01.2014. The grinding roller shaft is a key part of the grinding roller. It has a step-shaped shaft with different round cross-sections and 1850 mm × 1110 mm rectangular cross-section. If the general method of free forging is used, the upsetting diameter of ingot will reach 2900 mm, and 8400 t hydraulic pr...

The traction developed between a thin flexible web, wrapped around a non-vented, rotating cylindrical roller is studied experimentally and theoretically. A series of eight webs representing a wide range of surface roughness characteristics are traction-tested against the same roller over a wide speed range. A mathematical model that couples air film pressure, web deflection, and asperity deform...

Mobile devices generally have small screens. To display information that is well suited for larger screens (e.g. desktop computers), the information has to be segmented into many small presentation units that can fit into the small screen of mobile devices. This makes it difficult to effectively organize information and help users navigate to and from the information they want. This paper prese...

BACKGROUND Childhood iron deficiency is associated with behavioral and cognitive delays. Few studies have explored the relationship between prolonged bottle-feeding and iron-deficiency anemia among toddlers. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between prolonged bottle-feeding and iron deficiency in a nationally representative sample of children ages 1 to 3 years. DESIGN AND METHODS The Nat...
