This project was developed to provide design criteria for landfill disposal sites used for sludges such as those generated using the Clean Coal Technologies (CCT) tested at the Public Service Company of Colorado's Arapahoe Power Plant. The CCT wastes used were produced at the Arapahoe Plant Unit No.4 that was equipped with the integrated dry NOx/SO2 emissions control system installed under the ...

The optimal milking cluster should milk as gently possible to minimize the mechanical effect on teat tissue at an performance and quality. objective of this study was investigate influence liner shape (round vs. triangular) type ventilation (claw mouthpiece chamber; MPC) vacuum end in MPC. Our hypothesis that affect MPC vacuum. Six Holstein Friesian cows were milked twice daily over 12 d with a...

We present spatially resolved BPT mapping of the extended narrow line regions (ENLRs) seven nearby Seyfert 2 galaxies, using HST band filter imaging. construct diagrams $\leq$ 0.1" resolution emission images [O III]$\lambda$5007, H$\alpha$, [S II]$\lambda$$\lambda$6717,6731, and H$\beta$. By these diagnostic lines according to classification, we dissect ENLR into Seyfert, LINER, star-forming re...

LINER nuclei, which are present in many nearby galactic bulges, may be the manifestation of lowrate or low-radiative-efficiency accretion onto supermassive central black holes. However, it has been unclear whether the compact ultraviolet (UV) nuclear sources present in many LINERs are clusters of massive stars, rather than being directly related to the accretion process. We have used the Hubble...

We have reviewed 70 patients with bilateral simultaneous total hip arthroplasties to determine the rate of failure and to compare polyethylene wear and osteolysis between an implant with a cobalt-chrome head and Hylamer liner with that of a zirconia head and Hylamer liner. The mean thickness of the polyethylene liner was 11.0 mm (8.8 to 12.2) in the hip with a zirconia head and 10.7 mm (8.8 to ...

This study evaluated the surgical technique and outcomes of cup revision involving retention of a fixed but malpositioned acetabular component in patients with poor general conditions.Between 2007 and 2013, we performed cup revision on 12 hips while retaining a fixed (either cemented or uncemented) but malpositioned acetabular component. Indications for this technique were: malpositioned but fi...

Reconstruction for concurrent infection of an ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a challenge. We report a 2-stage reconstruction of a THA for chronic infection of both the THA and TKA with severe femoral bone loss secondary to interprosthetic fractures. The reconstruction involved using a custom-made, temporary, antibiotic-impregnated PROSTALAC spacer ...

in 2007 and 2008, the influence of pollen source on the shell and kernel traits of resulting seeds and on fruit set was examined to evaluate the potential for xenia or metaxenia in persian walnut. pistillate flowers of ‘jamal’, ‘chandler’, ‘hartley’ and ‘pedro’ were crossed with the pollen of ‘serr’, ‘z60’ and ‘damavand’. the pistillate flowers on each female parent were covered about one week ...

Shell resource utilization in two common species of hermit crabs, Calcinus latens (Randall) and Calcinus gaimardii (H. Milne Edwards), from intertidal and subtidal zones at Kenting, southern Taiwan, was studied. Field data were compared with laboratory results in shell-selection tests. Shell parameters examined included shell length, shell width, aperture length, aperture width, and weight in s...

We have explored the synaptic and cellular mechanisms by which a single primary mechanosensory neuron, the anterior gastric receptor (AGR), reconfigures motor output of the gastric mill central pattern generator (CPG) in the stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) of the lobster Homarus gammarus. AGR is activated in vivo by contraction of the medial tooth protractor muscle gm1 and accesses the gas...
