stress relieving is a common practice among manufacturing codes for reducing the magnitude ofresidual stresses in welded, quenched, and tempered steel structures and pressure vessels. the presentwork investigates the effect of stress relieving at 480, 560, 620, and 680°c on the microstructure andmechanical properties of 20 mm astm a517 gr. b steel plate weldments produced by shielded metal arcw...

Service-sire conception rate (SCR), a phenotypic fertility evaluation based on conventional (nonsexed) inseminations from parities 1 through 5, was implemented for the United States in August 2008. The SCR model contains the categorical fixed effects of parity for lactations 1 to 5; state-year-month of insemination group; 6 standardized milk yield groups; service number for inseminations 1 to 7...

The objective of this study was to quantify fixed-time AI (TAI) pregnancy rates resulting from reduced intervals between 2 25 mg dinoprost tromethamine (PG) injections on d 5 of a 5-d CIDR-Co-synch estrus synchronization program. Angus and Angus-influenced commercial cows (n = 873) maintained on native pasture at 3 locations were randomly assigned to treatments, blocking for BCS and postpartum ...

Third-degree perineal lacerations in 7 mares were repaired surgically by a one-stage method (Goetz technique). Primary healing occurred in all of them without any complication. The conception rate obtained after surgery was 70.1%. Five horses out of seven got pregnant after surgery and no further injury was seen at subsequent foaling. Three mares have produced several healthy foals without any ...

©FSRH J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2008: 34(2) Background The Teenage Pregnancy Strategy has set a target of halving the pregnancy rate of women under the age of 18 years and of establishing a firm downward trend in the pregnancy rate of women aged under 16 years.1 Progress toward achieving this target is measured both nationally and locally by monitoring teenage pregnancy statistics, produce...

Preeclampsia which happens in 5-10% of pregnancies is associated with maternal and prenatal morbidity and mortality in all over the world. Preeclampsia leads to high rates of preterm birth, small for gestational age infant. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of paternal cigarette smoking before and in conception on risk of preeclampsia in non smoker women without exp...
