The current study aimed at fostering bacterial growth in BFT aquaculture tanks by early Nile tilapia stocking. Control had no but received daily applications of dry molasses (NT+) or C:N ratio adjustment (T-). Experimental and application to adjust the water 15:1 (T+). development bioflocs NT+ was insignificant as demonstrated low levels settleable solids (SS) total suspended (TSS). Total ammon...

To better understand how airways produce thick airway mucus, nonvolatile solids were measured in liquid secreted by bronchi from normal pig, cystic fibrosis (CF) human, and non-CF human lungs. Bronchi were exposed to various secretagogues and anion secretion inhibitors to induce a range of liquid volume secretion rates. In all three groups, the relationship of solids concentration (percent nonv...

This study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (TS), fat (F), solids-non-fat (SNF), ash, crude protein (CP), nitrogen soluble at pH 4.6 (SN), mineral content (MC) and casein fraction (CnF). Camel milk had higher (P

The nature of solids-liquid flows often results in non-uniform profiles of solids volume fraction and axial solids velocity across the flow cross-section. In order to measure the solids volumetric flow rate in these situations it is necessary to measure the profiles of the local solids volume fraction and axial solids velocity and to obtain mean values of the solids volume fraction, solids axia...
