Animals have been selected to improve their productivity in order to increase the profitability to the producer. In this scenario, not much attention was given to health traits. As a consequence of that, selection was made for animals with higher production and a shortened productive life. In addition to that, the intense production system used in livestock has forced animals to be exposed to h...

Data are presented for burnout in forced coivection nucleate boiling of water at pressures above 500 psia. A dimensionless correlation is devised for. the M.I.T. data which is found to be valid for certain recent data reported by Argonne National Laboratory.

The concept of forced orientation of graphs was introduced by G. Chartrand et al. in 1994. If, for a given assignment of directions to a subset S of the edges of a graph G, there exists an orientation of E(G) \ S, so that the resulting graph is strongly connected, then that given assignment is said to be extendible to a strong orientation of G. The forced strong orientation number fD(G), with r...

he bonds between leukocytes and endothelial cells last longer when under some strain, as shown by Yago et al. (page 913). The results explain why these white blood cells attach to and roll along the vasculature only when blood flow is strong enough. Most explanations of this flow-enhanced adhesion suggest that flow increases the number of bonds that form between L-selectin on leukocytes and PSG...

In this Rapid Communication we report on the autoionization dynamics of the 5d7d doubly excited state in barium in a static electric field. The different experiments and theory show Stark beatings in the autoionization process. Also it appears that the total spin of the two valence electrons plays a major role in the ionization dynamics. Absorption spectroscopy revealed the ionization dynamics ...

Studies were conducted to evaluate Bacillus atrophaeus spores’ production by solid-state fermentation (SSF) using sugarcane bagasse as support and soybean molasses as substrate at lab-scale in column bioreactors (forced aeration), plastic bags and Erlenmeyer flasks (aeration by diffusion). Different moisture contents (84%, 86% and 88%; 89%, 91% and 93%) and aeration rates (30mL/min, 45mL/min, 6...

Pastoral livelihoods are evolving rapidly. The emergence of globalized markets and the integration of globalized production in developing countries have forced many pastoralists, along with the rest of the world’s consumers, to shift their economic strategies of production to accommodate these evolving markets. The objective of this paper is to illustrate the relationship between globalization ...

This study considers the production and inventory management problem of a two-stage semiprocess production system. In case both production stages are physically connected it is obvious that materials are forced to flow. The economic lotsize depends on the holding cost of the endproduct and the combined change-over cost of both production stages. On the other hand this 'flow shop' is forced to p...

People’s memory for an event is known to be affected by their verbal descriptions prior to memory assessment. The present experiment investigated whether the computational difficulty of production itself, which is known to affect what people say, can shape descriptions and subsequent event memory. Participants viewed simple scenes and were asked to describe them using either speech or silent ge...
