Influence of Diet on Performance Parameters, Intestinal Lesion Development, and Oocyst Cycling in Live Oocyst Vaccinated Replacement Broiler Breeders
(2010-10-12)
Two consecutive experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of dietary composition, specifically protein and amino acid profile, on performance parameters, oocyst output, and lesion development in male and female ...
A Lyapunov Exponent Approach for Identifying Chaotic Behavior in a Finite Element Based Drillstring Vibration Model
(2010-10-12)
The purpose of this work is to present a methodology to predict vibrations of
drilllstrings for oil recovery service. The work extends a previous model of the drill
collar between two stabilizers in the literature to include ...
Exploring Korean Americans’ Interracial Contact Experiences During Recreational Sport Activities
(2010-07-14)
Some scholars argue that organized sport is a viable context for different ethnic and racial groups to learn about one another and experience positive intergroup contact. Other scholars insist that hierarchical arrangements ...
Flooding Experiments with Steam and Water in a Large Diameter Vertical Tube
(2010-10-12)
An experimental study on flooding with steam and water in a large diameter vertical tube was conducted. This research has been performed to provide a better prediction of flooding in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) ...
Behavioral Performance and Evolution of Feeding Modes in Odontocetes
(2010-07-14)
Vertebrate evolution has resulted in a diversity of feeding mechanisms.
Cetaceans are secondarily derived tetrapods that have returned to a marine habitat. As a
result, they display feeding modes that have converged with ...
Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of Dry-grind Highly Digestible Grain Sorghum Lines for Ethanol Production
(2010-07-14)
The potential of high digestible grain sorghum (HDGS) with a modified starch protein endosperm matrix to replace corn in ethanol production was investigated using dry grind simultaneous saccharification and fermentation ...
Geometrically Decoupled Phased Array Coils for Mouse Imaging
(2010-07-14)
Phased array surface coils offer high SNR over a large field of view. Phased array
volume coils have high SNR at the surface and centre of the volume. Most array coil
designs typically employ a combination of geometrical ...
Parallel Algorithms for Time and Frequency Domain Circuit Simulation
(2010-10-12)
As a most critical form of pre-silicon verification, transistor-level circuit simulation
is an indispensable step before committing to an expensive manufacturing process.
However, considering the nature of circuit simulation, ...
A Mechanistic Model for Flooding in Vertical Tubes
(2010-10-12)
In a counter-current two-phase flow system, flooding can be defined as the onset
of flow reversal of the liquid component which results in an upward co-current flow.
Flooding in the surge line of pressurized water reactors ...
Wireless Monitoring of Railway Embankments
(2010-07-14)
Landslides are one of the most dangerous geological hazards. In the United
States, landslides cause a damage of $ 3.5 billion and kill 25 to 50 people annually.
Shallow landslides occurring near any transportation facilities ...
