RFID based automatic fair price shop is novel approach in public distribution system (PDS) useful for more efficient, accurate, and automated technique of ration distribution. Public distribution system also called rationing distribution system is one of the wide controversial issues that involve malpractices. The present ration distribution system has drawbacks like inaccurate quantity of good...

The objective of the present work was to investigate the influence of four diets on population growth, development, total length, dry weight, and nutritional value of two zooplanktonic species, Moina micrura and Diaphanosoma birgei. The four dietary treatments were: algae alone (A); algae + vitamins (AV); algae + ration (AR); and algae + ration + vitamins (ARV). Growth rate peak for both specie...

Relationships between somatic growth (length and weight) and two indirect measures of growth (otolith growth, RNA/DNA ratio) were assessed for red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) under different feeding rations [0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% body weight (BW)/day] for 30 days. Representative samples from each ration level were taken in 10-day intervals between Day 0 and Day 30 for evaluation of dir...

Considerable changes have occurred in environmental regulations in recent years, only one of which is the requirement of stand alone heifer operations and feedlots to carry environmental permits. While growth of heifers is a widely researched topic, publications concerning nutrient utilization, partitioning, and excretion are scarce and are becoming necessary. That combined with the fact that f...

We present the results of a series of experiments that examined the effect of feeding history on the growth and tissue composition of juveniles of two tropical cephalopods; the squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana and the cuttlefish Sepia elliptica. Juveniles were reared in individual containers for between 35 and 42 days at different ration levels, three ration levels for the squid and two levels for...

A classification of. automatic code generation techniques and a survey of the work on these techniques is presented. Automatic code-generation research is classified into three categories: formal treatments, interpretive approaches and descriptive approaches. An analysis of these approaches and a critique of automatic code-generation algorithms are presented.
