in this study, genetic parameters and (co)variance components were estimated for weights at birth, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 months, daily weight gain from birth to 3 months and daily weight gain from 3 month to 12 month, keliber ratio from birth to 3 months and keliber ratio from 3 to 12 month, and production of fleece for south khorasan goats at sarbisheh station over a period of 16 years (1996–2012). ...

This contribution discribes a new method for monitoring productivity in the slaughter pig production unit. The method is implemented with a graphical user interface. By calculating average daily gain each time a group of slaughter pigs is delivered to the slaughterhouse, a time series is made. Among other features, the application allows the user to monitor the time series graphicaly. Monitorin...

Production of sputum and concentrations of antileukoprotease (ALP) in sputum were serially measured in hypersecreting patients with recurrent or chronic bronchial infections. Patients with stable continuous mucoid (n = 4) or purulent (n = 5) secretions had constant sputum concentrations of ALP and a calculated daily production of 1.4 and 1.9 mg of ALP per 24 hours, respectively. In patients wit...

In oil production waterflooding is a popular recovery technology, which involves the injection of water into an oil reservoir. Studies on model-based dynamic optimization of waterflooding strategies have demonstrated that there is a significant potential to increase lifecycle performance, measured in Net Present Value. However, in these studies the complementary desire of oil companies to maxim...

Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...

The effects of daily dietary Bacillus subtilis (Bs), and adding L-tryptophan, fructan, or casein to fecal fermentation broths were investigated as means to reduce the production of noxious gas during manure fermentation caused by ammonia, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and 3-methylindole (skatole). Eighty swine (50.0±0.5 kg) were equally apportioned to an experimental group given Bs in daily feed, or ...
