Various farm wastes were investigated as substrates for Pleurotus tuber-regium. The highest mushroom harvest (fresh weight) was obtained from oil palm fruit fiber substrate and the lowest yield was from yam (Dioscorea sp.) peelings. Casing enhanced yield from all substrates. Oil palm fruit fiber spawn is an alternative to the sclerotium in propagating the fungus. Some fungi and pests were assoc...

The damage of seeds in grain augers has been divided into shearing and jamming, occurring at the inlet and the casing wall, respectively. The shearing was strongly reduced by a displacement body attached to the screw blade. Measures for the reduction of jamming, partly based on a theoretical approximation, have been summarized. A number of experiments, performed for verification, agreed with th...

In the paper the analysis of wax pattern and casting dimensions changes during each stages of investment casting technology process has been presented. Results of wax patterns and castings of test plate free and restrained contractions dimensions changes research carried out in Department of Foundry Engineering at Brno University of Technology have been presented as well. Moreover obtained resu...

SU detection is specific to the context of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, which typically produce an unstructured sequence of words from an audio signal, and must then recover latent structural features in the signal such as word case (“true-casing”) and sentence boundaries (“SU detection”) in order for the output to be ready for human consumption. Recent efforts by the DARPA EARS ...
