Kaiser and Shaver (2006) and Bucholtz (2006) reported starch concentrations in diets fed to high-producing dairy herds ranged from 25 to 30 % on a dry matter (DM) basis. Increased corn prices have heightened the interest in feeding reducedstarch diets. Results from short-term dairy cattle feeding trials suggest that reducedstarch diets formulated by partially replacing corn grain with high-fibe...

Three types of ponds used for treating domestic wastewater in Burkina Faso in Soudano-sahelian climate, were monitored for sludge accumulation. After five and a half years of operation, the rates of sludge accumulation in the ponds were evaluated to 0.02; 0.009 and 0.007 m 3 /capita year respectively for the anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds. The corresponding rates of accumulation in...

PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to gather preliminary data in normals and dry eye subjects, using a new, non-invasive imaging platform to measure the thickness of pre-corneal tear film. METHODS Human subjects were screened for dry eye and classified as dry or normal. Tear film thickness over the inferior paracentral cornea was measured using laser illumination and a complementary metal-o...
