Eight paired comparisons conducted at three field sites with 1059 newly-received lightweight stocker calves were used to determine the effect of free-choice cooked molasses tubs designed for receiving cattle on 28-day receiving period performance, percentage of cattle treated for respiratory disease, and death loss. At all sites, cattle received similar management with the exception that cooked...

& Conclusion| We propose a sequential probability ratio test based on a two parameter Weibull distribution for IC failure analysis. The shape parameter of the Weibull distribution characterizes the decreasing, constant and the increasing failure rate regions in the bath tub model for ICs. The algorithm detects the operating region of the IC based on the observed failure times. Unlike the xed-le...

The possible sources of Campylobacter spp. in poultry meat before slaughter were studied by examining samples of feathers, cloaca swabs, litter swabs, transport coops, rinse water from coop washing equipment, and chicken breast supports in the slaughter line just before stunning. The samples were collected from 8 broiler houses and from 8 different producers, from a poultry integration system i...

In the household appliance industry, heat pump systems have been used for a long time in refrigerators and freezers to cool food, and the industry has driven the development of small, high-quality, low-price heat pump components. The low price of good quality heat pump components, along with an increased willingness by customers to pay extra for lower electricity consumption and environmental i...

RFID tags are tiny, inexpensive, inductively powered computers that are going to replace bar codes on many products, but which have many other uses as well. For example, they will allow smart washing machines to check for incompatible clothes (e.g., white shirts and red socks) and smart refrigerators to check for milk that is too old to be consumed. Subdermal tags with medical information are a...

Alternative wastewater treatment systems combat many on-site disposal problems, but no incentives are given to householders to improve the domestic wastewater quality before treatment or disposal. While governments address phosphorus reduction programs, the effect of sodium in wastewater is ignored. Many laundry detergents use sodium salts as fillers, adding significant sodium to the wastewater...

Many energy related policies, such as procurement, labelling, voluntary agreements and minimum efficiency standards for appliances, are intended to take effect on the sub-sector or product level. Appropriate indicators are needed if policy makers are to monitor the effectiveness of these types of policies. This paper will take a pragmatic approach towards establishing product-level indicators, ...

"Indian Medical Gazette" may be written as legibly as possible, and only on oxb sidk of each sheet of paper. Technical expressions ought to be so distinct that no possible mistake can be made in printing them. Keglect of these simple rules causes much trouble. Communications should be forwarded as early in the month as possible, else delay must inevitably occur in their publication. Business le...

Designers can expect environmental demands to continue to drive the need for advanced motor control techniques that produce energy efficient air conditioners, washing machines and other home appliances. Until now, sophisticated motor control solutions have only been available from proprietary sources. However, the implementation of advanced, cost-effective motor control algorithms is now a real...
