Iodine deficiency leads to deficiency of thyroid hormones, which causes mental retardation in infant. Laboratory confirmation is important in its diagnosis. The major problems associated with the existing methods for iodine determination in milk samples are: 1) nonsafe alkaline solution; 2) harsh thermal condition; and 3) extra time required to complete various steps. In this study, a simple an...

Logistic train is one of the recent solutions applied in intralogistics. It bases on concept “milk-run” delivery method. The main problem implementation intralogistics trains possibility to determine whether able pass given path without a colliding with surrounding objects. Dynamic model presented this paper was performed for three most common steering systems trolleys: double Ackermann system ...

Under the current environment, rural e-commerce logistics have become focus of attention from all walks life, and various enterprises companies entered market under county to achieve purpose expanding their share. Based on characteristics, situation, problems developing in Huade County Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The article using Schematic diagram Milk Run optimisation mode...

Levels of chemicals in humans (body burdens) are useful indicators of environmental quality and of community health. Chemical body burdens are easily monitored using breast milk samples collected from first-time mothers (primiparae) with infants 2-8 weeks of age. Currently, there is no body-burden monitoring program using breast milk in the United States, although ad hoc systems operate success...

It is well-established that altering the proportion of starch and fibre in ruminant diets can alter ruminal and post-ruminal digestion, although quantitative evidence that this reduces enteric methane (CH4) production in dairy cattle is lacking. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of varying grass-to-maize silage ratio (70 : 30 and 30 : 70 DM basis), offered ad libitum, with e...

We consider finding static yet robust recurring milk-run tours while dynamically routing the vehicle between site visits. The network arcs experience recurrent congestion, leading to stochastic and time-dependent travel times. Based on vehicle location, time of day, and current and projected network congestion states, we generate dynamic routing policies (DRP) for every pair of sites using stoc...
