HCPB (Helium Cooled Pebbles Bed) Test Blanket Model (TBM) is based on solid breeder. Tritium has to be extracted using Helium purge gas flowing through breeder pebbles bed. He-stream must be cooled down and processed and all these steps are carried out in TES (Tritium Extraction System). A modeling work has been performed to study the behavior of the TES of the HCPB TBM and for Molecular Sieve ...

Effect of photoperiod on age and BW at attainment of mature semen production was examined in males of lines selected for high (HL) and low (LL) threshold BW at onset of lay, and in males of a commercial Cornish male line (MC), a commercial broiler breeder female line cross (BX), and a commercial layer cross (LX). Photoperiod treatments were: I, increasing natural spring light; and D, steadily d...

The effects of environmental temperature (ET) and dietary ME on core body temperature (CBT) and production efficiency were evaluated in broiler breeder hens. A total of 192 Ross 708 broiler breeder hens were individually caged in one of 6 temperature-controlled chambers (32/room) at 20 wk of age. A biotelemetry sensor was surgically implanted abdominally to measure CBT of 8 birds/tmt every 10 m...

To those who carefully observe the sport though, there clearly are factors at work which contribute to the success of the winning bird. We all have known of those rare and exceptional birds that have amassed astonishing records. We have known or read of handlers who can consistently place near the top. We have known or read of breeders who consistently produce top birds. These amazing feats def...

RapidAPIIS is free software developed in the APIIS framework for setting up integrated databases of individual animal records. It is intended for scientists, students and breeders in the animal agriculture with no programming experience. The user can choose from variety of templates for various species and customize them by including the traits recorded within her/his their organization. Thus, ...

Lithium titanate (Li2TiO3) is candidate tritium breeder of the fusion blanket systems. The small pebbles Li2TiO3 are packed in box. coolant tubes made RAFM steel F82H (Fe-8Cr-2W-0.1C) installed box and their oscillation possibly induced by flow. fretting corrosion then caused reciprocating slip on tube wall. purpose present study to investigate fundamental behaviors between pebble plate. or Al2...

The majority of Australian piggeries rely on antibiotics classified as ‘low' importance in human medicine (Jordan et al., 2009). However, there is evidence of antimicrobial resistance to pathogens sampled in pig carcases that are of significant importance to human health, such as Escherichia coli (Smith et al., 2010). With increasing consumer awareness of medicine use and pressure for more welf...
