Garmroodi, Mohammad Reza Daneshvar, Karimfazli, Ida
We study the evolution of chaotic mixing in an initially stratified circular vessel. The bottom and top halves of the vessel are filled with viscoplastic and Newtonian fluids. A circular stirrer in the vessel promotes the mixing. We considered three different viscosity ratios to understand the...

Characterisation of bacterial microbiota of the vagina of dairy cows and isolation of pediocin-producing Pediococcus acidilactici
Download2013
Wang, Yvonne, Ambrose, Divakar J., Ametaj, Burim N., Gänzle, Michael G.
Background Uterine infections in dairy cows lower profitability of dairy operations. Infections of the reproductive tract are related to the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria during the first three weeks after parturition. However, alterations in the vaginal microbiota composition in the first...

Characterisation of genetic variation in the pig breeds of China and Europe – The PigBioDiv2 project.
Download2003
Haley, C., Li, K., Plastow, G. , Cardellino, R., Andersson, L., SanCristobal, M., Li, N., Huang, L., Chevalet, C., Blott, S., Groenen, M.
The PigBioDiv2 project will evaluate and compare genetic diversity among the pig breeds of China and Europe. At least 50 Chinese breeds will be sampled and compared with 59 European breeds previously sampled in the PigBioDiv1 project. The European pig biodiversity database will be extended to at...

Usher, B. H., Hodgson, F. D. I.
Twenty-seven observation test pits were excavated at four different spoils dumps at three collieries in the Witbank Coalfield. The holes were dug into the upper three metres of the spoils to ascertain if any weathering profiles, variation with age or influence of topsoil covering could be gauged....

Biagini, Luiz, Macciotta, Renato, Gräpel, Chris, Tappenden, Kristen, Skirrow, Roger
Understanding landslide kinematics, their characteristics, and contributing factors is crucial for decision-making regarding mitigation strategies for infrastructure projects. These characteristics depend on the geomorphology of the area, climate, and proximity to water bodies and anthropogenic...

Characterization and evaluation of residual feed intake measured in mid- to late-gestation mature beef cows and relationships with circulating serum metabolites and linear body measurements
Download2014
Miller, S. P., Swanson, K. C., Wood, K. M., Montanholi, Y. R., Fitzsimmons, C. F, McBride, B. W.
To evaluate the use of residual feed intake (RFI) models measured in mid-to-late gestating beef cows, a dataset was used combining data from five experiments containing nine treatment and/or replicate groups for a total of 321 animal records. Investigations of RFI models included the effects of...

Characterization of a {(Fe60Co40)75B20Si5}96Nb4 Impulse Atomized Glassy Powder by Neutron Diffraction and Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Download2015-01-01
Bogno, A.-A., Dahlborg, U., Calvo-Dahlborg, M., Riveros, C., Ciftci, N., Henein, H., Sediako, D.
This paper investigates FeCo-based alloy glass formability by high undercooling and high cooling rate solidification technique and the hardness evaluation of the generated samples. For this investigation, Impulse Atomization was used to generate {(Fe60Co40)75B20Si5}96Nb4 powders of different...

Feddes, John J. R., Zuidhof, Martin J., Cook, H.
A single barn was sampled throughout a turkey growth cycle to investigate the size and distribution of airborne particles and to identify individual dust sources. Fecal material was found to be the main constituent of airborne dust in turkey barns. The aerodynamic properties of airborne dust and...

Grant, Jason, Stothard, Paul, Moore, Stephen S., Guan, Leluo, Jin, Weiwu
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of ~22 nucleotide small RNA molecules which regulate gene expression by fully or partially binding to their complementary sequences in mRNAs or promoters. A large number of miRNAs and their expression patterns have been reported in human, mouse and rat....
