Magnetic granular solids consist of nanometer-sized magnetic particles uniformly dispersed and embedded in an immiscible insulating or metallic medium. They display a rich variety of magnetic properties and giant magneto-transport properties due to their unique nanostructure, which can be usefully described by the metal volume fraction and the metal particle diameter of granular solids. Fabrica...

The paper focuses on bio®lms subject to turbulent ̄ow and high liquid velocity (of the order of 1 m s) which can be found in heat exchangers, water distribution systems and in some wastewater reactors. An overall model describing bio®lm development is presented, which includes the effects of biomass detachment due to the hydrodynamic forces. A methodology for estimating substrate consumption fr...

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course is designed for graduate students in biology wanting to aquire a more detailed working knowledge and appreciation of mammalian diversity in structure, function, ethology, and ecology. Knowledge and skills aquired in this course will be useful to field and laboratory studies in ecology, evolution, animal behavior, biogeography, wildlife management, and related disc...

Introduction Feed dilution or solids-liquid weight The English word "sedimentation" ratio is derived from the Latin verb "sedere" Size and shape of the particulate meaning to sink down. As a mineral solids processing unit operation, sedimentaSpecific gravity differential between tion has been defined as the separation the solids and liquid phases of a suspension into a supernatant presence of e...

We present a robust and efficient approach to directly slicing implicit solids. Different from prior slicing techniques that reconstruct contours on the slicing plane by tracing the topology of intersected line segments, which is actually not robust, we generate contours through a topology guaranteed contour extraction on binary images sampled from given solids and a subsequent contour simplifi...

This paper presents a review and analysis of the research that has been carried out on dynamic calibration for optical-fiber solids concentration probes. An introduction to the optical-fiber solids concentration probe was given. Different calibration methods of optical-fiber solids concentration probes reported in the literature were reviewed. In addition, a reflection-type optical-fiber solids...

fourteen primiparous holstein cows (180.0 ± 4.3 days in milk) with a mean (±sd) daily milk yield of 35.0 ± 1.3 kg and a body condition score of 3.2 ± 0.2 were allotted into two groups (n = 7), and were fed a ration consisting of (dry matter basis) 35% corn silage, 25% alfalfa hay and 40% concentrates. salt was provided free choice. the experiment was performed during the period of heat stress, ...

feasibility of waste lime sludge (ls) obtained from acetylene gas production industry wasstudied during co-composting of vegetable waste for enhanced volatile solids reduction. four different trialswere carried out with varying percentage of ls combinations i.e. trial 1, trial 2, trial 3 and trial 4. increasedaddition of waste ls raised the levels of ph in the compost, thereby volatizing the ni...

kaolin-based film as surround wp® was applied to ‘galaxy’ apple trees to evaluate its effects on postharvest fruit quality. following harvest, the surround wp® on the fruit skin was either wiped off, or left unwiped, then, the fruits from these treatments along with fruits from non-surround wp®-treated trees as the control were stored at 6°c for 100 days. surround wp® film application reduced w...
