Blasting is widely used in mining operations as the primary comminution process to reduce the in-situ rock into fragmented material suitable for the subsequent transport and processing. The energy used is released from an explosive by detonation and transferred to the rock mass via a shock front...

Biosynthesis of milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a component of milk fat with demonstrated health benefits, requires a dietary source of PUFA. Even with PUFA supplementation, milk CLA is highly variable. Therefore, this study was aimed at identifying factors responsible for the variations in...

Dyeing cotton with fiber reactive dyes provides textiles with outstanding colorfastness properties at the expense of environmental concerns from unfixed dye and high salt content in dye house effluent. One approach to this problem is to incorporate cationic dye sites into the cotton fiber to...

Broiler breeders are feed restricted to control growth and increase the production of settable eggs. However, the consecutive need for the deposition and mobilization of nutrients, due the feeding and fasting cycles those birds are submitted to, is not a efficient process. Additionally, the less...

Hydrogen as a fuel has the potential to reduce tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions of vehicles to near-zero, while also allowing for the generation of a hydrogen-based economy and lowering humanity's dependence upon oil. Hydrogen-diesel dual fuel combustion, where hydrogen and diesel are combusted...
