A technique based on physical maceration of root tissue was developed to extract vermiform and swollen stages of Meloidogyne incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis. Experiments conducted on soybean and tomato evaluated the efficiency of method (stir, grind), NaOC1 concentration (0%, 0.5%), and duration (lx, 2x) on extraction of nematodes and eggs from 60-day-old populations. Root-associated pop...

The bioreduction of solid TNT by a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain was investigated in a stirred tank reactor. Experiments in which TNT beads were the only solids present indicated that the biodegradation mechanism is dissolution followed by degradation in bulk solution. Dissolution may limit the overall rate, in which case degradation can be enhanced through increased agitation. Since soil slur...

trolling marine fouling on ships’ hulls has been considered essential since the earliest days of marine transport. It has been estimated that without any attempt to control fouling, shipping would require 40% more power, equal to about 72 million tonnes of additional fuel per year.1 Therefore, without an effective antifouling system, today’s marine transport industry would undoubtedly grind to ...

mesoporous photocatalysts of ceo2/sba-15 are prepared by two methods of direct synthesis as solvent-usage and solvent-free methods. in solvent-usage method, ceo2/sba-15 is synthesized in acidic media. while, in solvent-free method, ceo2/sba-15, has been prepared through the novel path of directly grind cerium salt into the as-prepared samples of sba-15 occluded with template. this method enable...

Increase in the demand for ethanol has resulted in growth in the dry grind (DG) ethanol industry. In DG processing, the whole corn kernel is fermented, resulting in two main coproducts, ethanol and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Marketing of DDGS is critical to the economic stability of DG plants. The composition of DDGS can vary considerably; this reduces market value. Factors t...

Guided by theory and research on self-regulation and goal pursuit, we offer a framework for studying the dynamics of unemployed individuals’ job search. A daily survey over three weeks demonstrated vacillation in job seeker affect and, to a lesser extent, “reemployment efficacy.” Daily perceived job search progress was related to this vacillation. Lower perceived progress on any given day was r...

Cereal Chem. 83(3):311–314 Dry-grind corn processing facilities produce ethanol, carbon dioxide, and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). To produce DDGS, drygrind corn processors concentrate thin stillage in multieffect evaporators. Concentration of thin stillage uses large amounts of energy, and efficient operation is important for long-term economic stability of the industry. Little...

Abstract Child protection reform has been difficult, despite evidence that practice should be more child-centred, respectful and responsively inclusive of family communities. An Australian survey 387 third parties working with statutory child authorities revealed widespread support for reform, but significant opposition to authorities. Only police aligned themselves Welfare workers were most li...

The rapid growth of corn-based dry grind ethanol plants over the past decade in US has resulted a great increase production coproduct DDGS (distillers dried grains with solubles). Since some physical properties like low bulk density and poor flowability can impact market potential DDGS, pelleting be one easiest ways to improve this situation. Pellet quality is focus project. process was conduct...
