The pyrolysis and oxidation kinetics of distillers grains and solubles were determined using thermogravimetric analysis. The starting temperature of pyrolysis and oxidation of distillers grains and solubles increased with the increase of heating rate and initial moisture content. The pyrolysis and oxidation of distillers grains and solubles were completed at 650°C and 850°C, respectively, which...

background: pragmatics is appropriate use of language across a variety of social contexts  that  provides accurate interpretation   of   intentions.   the   occurrence    of   the right hemisphere lesions can interfere with pragmatic abilities, and particularly with the processing of nonliteral speech acts. methods: since the objective of this study was to assess different  aspects of pragmatic...

Aulacaspis yasumatsui Takagi invaded Guam in 2003 and caused the widespread mortality of indigenous Cycas micronesica K.D. Hill population. The regeneration surviving tree population continues to be constrained 20 years later, a look at changes megastrobili traits may inform future conservation management decisions concerning regeneration. We quantified megastrobilus reproductive effort output ...

Two experiments were conducted to investigate if adjustments in diet formulations either based on total analysed amino acids or standardized ileal digestible (SID) amino acids may be used to eliminate negative effects of including heat-damaged soybean meal (SBM) or heat-damaged corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in diets fed to weanling pigs. In Experiment 1, four corn-SBM diets ...

Abstract Pre-harvest and post-harvest operations are integral parts of the quality seed production system. If due attention is not paid during first phase, probably therewill be any means left to obtain seed. Similarly, good produced with utmost care may lose much its value if proper management followed period. The attributes genetic purity, appearance physical germination potential, vigour hea...
