The epidemiological, clinical and clinical pathological findings in 20 cattle and 4 sheep from 15 outbreaks of poultry litter toxicity in South Africa over the past 6 years are documented. In 6 outbreaks, the litter emanated from batteries where maduramicin had been incorporated into rations of broilers. According to circumstantial evidence the litter involved in the 9 other outbreaks was also ...

This article describes the clinical procedures for a modified putty-wash impression technique. In this method, the hydraulic pressure induced from planned flowing the wash material from the inner surface of putty impression toward the vestibules pull over the gingival tissues covering the finishing line. This simple method reduces the need to using retraction cord in normal depth finishing line...

It has been widely recognized for many years that proper finishing is of critical importance in achieving an excellent occlusal result after orthodontic appliance removal. This clinical presentation deals with defining finishing goals and achieving them with the appropriate treatment mechanics for optimal esthetics, function and stability. It highlights certain occlusal static and dynamic perio...

The already initiated studies are based on size and forms of abrasive grains, but few studies have addressed the influence on the concentration of abrasive grains. This research has been done to remove some of the mysteries associated in the media "abrasives" or "chips" used in vibratory and barrel finishing, this process included within the functions and characte...

Effects of increased MP supply on the degree of periparturient relaxation of immunity (PPRI) in sheep may be dependent on quality of supplied MP. Here we tested the hypothesis that additional MP supply from rations based on xylose-treated soybean meal would be more effective than from rations based on faba beans in reducing the degree of PPRI, as indicated by nematode egg excretion. Twenty-four...

Two experiments were conducted to determine apparent ileal DM and crude-protein (CP) digestibilities in rations fed to pigs. An evaluation was made of Cr2O3 and HCl-insoluble ash as digestive markers. In addition, the effects of body weight (BW) on apparent ileal DM and CP (N x 6.25) digestibilities were studied. In Expt 1, thirteen barrows averaging 35 kg BW were fitted with post-valve T-caecu...

Currently, the genome sequencing community is producing shotgun sequence data at a very high rate, but genome finishing is not keeping pace, even with the help from several automated finishing tools, such as autoFinish. One reason for the slow progress in finishing is that repetitive regions longer than the length of a sequencing read cannot be assembled correctly with many current assembly too...

To implement an automated fluid magnetic abrasive (FMA) finishing process, an online monitoring scheme is proposed based on characterising acoustic emission (AE) signals in this paper. According to the material removal mechanisms during the FMA finishing process, the AE generation and characteristics are predicted analytically to be dominated by the interactions between the surface asperities a...

274 Optimization of process parameter for surface finishing in abrasive flow finishing process Ravi Gupta (M.E) Asst. Prof.(Lovely Professional University) [email protected] , Abstract-Abrasive flow finishing is a non-conventional finishing process that is used for finishing of work piece which are difficult to finish by conventional method i.e. by honing, lapping and other machining operati...
