Eight dual-flow continuous-culture fermenters were used in four replicated periods to compare the effects of diet and microbial marker on estimates of N metabolism in continuous culture of ruminal microorganisms. A basal diet was supplemented with urea and tryptone, soybean meal (SBM), lignosulfonate-treated SBM, corn gluten meal, blood meal (BM), hydrolyzed feather meal, fish meal (FM), or mea...

In this paper, we first introduce some function spaces, with certain locally convex topologies, closely  related to the space of real-valued continuous functions on $X$,  where $X$ is a $C$-distinguished topological space. Then, we show that their dual spaces can be identified in a natural way with certain spaces of Radon measures.

In this note we extend the continuous dual Hahn process constructed by Corwin and Knizel on a finite time interval to entire real line taking limit of closely related Markov process. We also characterize processes conditional means variances under bidirectional conditioning.

Continuous culture experiments provide steady state conditions where cellular activity can be measured reproducibly. Experiments are generally prohibitive due to the cost and volume of growth media for long term experiments. Microfluidic devices are well suited to reduce volume requirements for experiments, but controlling volume in elastic devices is challenging. We propose a plastic-PDMS devi...
