The objective of this investigation was to study the effects of feeding backgrounding and finishing diets on selected acute phase proteins in the plasma of feedlot steers. Two groups of 12 steers each, at the backgrounding and finishing stages, were offered either a backgrounding (45% barley grain-based concentrate and 55% barley silage on a DM basis) or a finishing (91% barley grain-based conc...

Surface finishing is one of the most significant steps in industries which are engaged with surface quality. Finishing by magnetic field is a new method of surface finishing. In this process, machining is executed in mechanical way and semi-homogeneous abrasive slurry performs finishing of surfaces. Needed force to grind surfaces is made by magnetic field. Therefor this method is considered as ...

Vibratory stimuli to viewers’ upper bodies enhance emotional experiences during audio-visual content. Studies have investigated the effects of stimulation conditions, such as vibration waveform and spatiotemporal patterns. We how timing vibratory affect skin conductance responses subjective reports experiences. were administered torso at various timings around a monster’s sudden appearance in h...

Title of Document: EFFECTS OF SOLDER-DIPPING AS A TERMINATION RE-FINISHING TECHNIQUE Shirsho Sengupta, M.S., Mechanical Engineering, June 2006 Directed By: Prof. Michael G. Pecht, Chair Professor, Mechanical Engineering Solder-dipping may be used to replace tin-rich finishes with eutectic tin-lead for tinwhiskering risk mitigation purposes. However, re-finishing also subjects electronic parts t...

Recent clinical studies have suggested that a neurological lesion may be a cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and animal experiments have implicated the posterior column pathway. We have tried to determine if differences in neurological response could be detected and measured clinically, and have compared the threshold of detection of vibratory sensation in 20 girls with adolescent idiopa...

The bell-shaped vibratory angular rate gyro (abbreviated as BVG) is a novel shell vibratory gyroscope, which is inspired by the Chinese traditional bell. It sensitizes angular velocity through the standing wave precession effect. The bell-shaped resonator is a core component of the BVG and looks like the millimeter-grade Chinese traditional bell, such as QianLong Bell and Yongle Bell. It is mad...

where w [W/m] and c [m/s] are the sound intensity and the sound velocity, respectively. N is the number of the transducers used to form the array. S [m] is the radiation area of a single transducer and Stot = NS. A common airborne ultrasound transducer, which is used for the measurement of the distance or the detection of objects, can emit about 0.041 W of ultrasound in normal use. Hence, if th...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of delayed finishing/polishing on the surface roughness, hardness and gloss of tooth-coloured restorative materials. METHODS Four different tooth-coloured restoratives: a flowable resin composite- Tetric Flow, a hybrid resin composite- Venus, a nanohybrid resin composite- Grandio, and a polyacid modified resin composite- Dyract Ex...
