The potential of numerical methods for the solution and optimization of industrial granular flows problems is widely accepted by the industries of this field, the challenge being to promote effectively their industrial practice. In this paper, we attempt to make an exploratory step in this regard by using a numerical model based on continuous mechanics and on the so-called Particle Finite Eleme...

Field experiments were conducted in 2007 and 2008 to evaluate heat treatment for disinfestations of empty concrete elevator silos. A Mobile Heat Treatment Unit was used to introduce heat into silos to attain target conditions of 50 degrees C for at least 6 h. Ventilated plastic containers with a capacity of 100 g of wheat, Triticum aestivum L., held Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostri...

BACKGROUND The management of giant omphalocele (GO) presents a major challenge to pediatric surgeons. Current treatment modalities may result in wound infection, fascial separation, and abdominal domain loss. We report a GO infant who required a delayed closure and was managed using sterile incision drape and polypropylene mesh. METHODS A 3080 g full-term female infant was born with a GO. The...

mycotoxins are an increasingly discussed topic. several scientific reports have been written which review the effects of these toxic substances on the health and productivity of animals. however, there is a lack of work regarding the incidence of mycotoxins in ensiled material and the consequences of this occurrence. in this review, practical and field information was converged with scientific ...

This project utilizes integral calculus to find the exact volume of a non-uniform cylindrical-shaped silo used store wheat and calculate cost material utilized build such silo. Due its shape, is divided into two sections each calculated. The final for with measurements provided approximately 2330.02 meters cubic surface area 1074.96 squared, which considered be large capacity With there are cos...

OBJECTIVES Gastroschisis is a congenital anomaly affecting 2.3-4.4/10,000 births. Previous studies show initiation of early enteral feeds predicts improved outcomes. We hypothesize that earlier definitive closure after silo placement; can lead to earlier enteral feed initiation. Design/ Setting/ Duration: Retrospective review of patients with gastroschisis from 2005 and 2014 at a single institu...
