the nutritional value of cereal straw can be increased using urea treatments as a source of ammonia. the conventional urea treatment process for cereal straw is a laborious and time-consuming task. it is essential to facilitate or eliminate part of the procedure with the use of machinery. this study examines the mechanical urea treatment of wheat straw and compares chemical components and diges...

Debates over the effects of technological change on work continue to generate a wide and confusing array of findings. One reason for the lack of consensus is that empirical research based on large samples has yet to adequately address the core issue: the relationship, if any, between the level of mechanization and the characteristics of work. This relationship is explored using data from the 19...

Specification and verification in continuous problem domains are key topics for the practical application of formal methods and mechanized reasoning. I discuss one approach to linear continuous control systems and consider the challenges and opportunities raised for mechanized reasoning. These include practical implementation and integration issues, algorithms in computational real algebraic ge...

AIM To describe the latent period for symptomatic sensitization in bread bakery workers. METHODS Data on the latent period for symptomatic sensitization, resulting in either asthma or rhinitis, were obtained from an in-house health surveillance programme in a single large organization. RESULTS Over a period of 10 years, 90 employees were identified with symptoms attributable to sensitizatio...
