[1] Thermal conductivity anisotropy was determined for three sets of metasedimentary and igneous rocks from central Utah, USA. Most conductivity measurements were made in transient mode with a half-space, line source instrument oriented in two orthogonal directions on a flat face cut perpendicular to bedding. One orientation of the probe yields thermal conductivity parallel to bedding (kpar) di...

We used a high-density array of real-time PCR assays for commonly reported rodent infectious agents (PRIA) to test naturally infected index mice and sentinel mice exposed by contact and soiled-bedding transfer. PRIA detected 14 pathogens--including viruses, bacteria, fur mites, pinworms, and enteric protozoa--in 97.2% of 28 pooled fecal samples, fur-perianal swabs, and oral swabs from 4 cages c...

A meta-analysis on the effects of management and animal-based factors on the performance and feed efficiency of growing pigs can provide information on single factor and interaction effects absent in individual studies. This study analysed the effects of such factors on average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of grower and finisher pigs. The multivariate model...

A detailed analysis of the structure turbulence in a temporal planar turbulent jet is reported. Instantaneous snapshots flow and three-dimensional spatial correlation functions are considered. It found that characterized by large-scale spanwise vortices whose motion felt entire field. Superimposed to this motion, hierarchy structures present. The most coherent ones take form quasi-streamwise hi...

Dujmović, Joret, Micek, Morin, Ueckerdt and Wood [J. ACM 2020] proved that for every planar graph $G$ there is a $H$ with treewidth at most 8 path $P$ such $G\subseteq H\boxtimes P$. We improve this result by replacing "treewidth 8" "simple 6".
