Two common manure storage practices are stockpiles and lagoons. The manure from stockpiles is applied to soils in solid form, while lagoon manure is applied as a liquid. Soil amendment with manure in any form introduces a significant amount of phosphorus (P) that exists in both organic and inorganic forms. However, little is known about P speciation in manure stored under different conditions, ...

BACKGROUND American adults consume 11.3% of total daily calories from foods and beverages from fast food restaurants. The contribution of different types of fast food restaurants to the diets of US children is unknown. OBJECTIVE To estimate the consumption of energy, sodium, added sugars, and solid fats among US children ages 4-19 y by fast food restaurant type. METHODS Analyses used the fi...

The aim of the present study was focused on the level of solid milk fat level in flavoured yogurt on their rheological properties, flavour release and diffusion in relation to their sensory properties. Whereas variation of solid fat level slightly influenced texture perception of yogurts, a large effect of solid fat level on flavour release and olfactory perception was highlighted. At 10°C, the...

The risk of low back pain resulted from cyclic loadings is greater than that resulted from prolonged static postures. Disk degeneration results in degradation of disk solid structures and decrease of water contents, which is caused by activation of matrix digestive enzymes. The mechanical responses resulted from internal solid-fluid interactions of degenerative disks to cyclic loadings are not ...

The genotypic variation on physico-chemical characteristics of wild grown plums (Prunus spinosa L.) was investigated. The total phenolic contents were in a range of 117 to 407 mg GAE/100 g FW. The vitamin C was highest in yellow colored fruits (12.10 mg/100 ml). The total soluble solid content varied between 9.40% (yellow colored) and 12.90% (dark purple colored) fruits.  Antioxidant activity o...

Three different apple-carrot juice blends (60:40, 75:25 and 90:10, v/v) were prepared and treated with ultrasound with comparison to the conventional thermal pasteurization. Total aerobic viable count (TAC) were significantly lower in juice blends with lower pH (apple-carrot ratio of 90:10, v/v) than the blends with higher pH after one month storage at 4 ̊C. TAC were similar in ultrasound-treate...

In recent years finite volume computations of two-fluid hydrodynamic models have been used in a number of numerical investigations of gas-solids fluidized bed and circulating fluidized bed processes. To avoid numerical diffusion from dominating simulation results, proper discretization of convective terms is critical i e higher-order methods should be used in the computation of convective terms...
