There has been an increasing attention to the effect of hull roughness on ship resistance and powering. In conventional studies, surfaces have treated as uniform rough while real ships' hulls are exposed heterogeneous fouling accumulation. The work described here presents experimental investigation into resistance. A series towing tests were conducted using a model Wigley with various condition...

two experiments were conducted to investigate interactions of wheat bran, barley bran, or soybean hulls with sodium deoxycholate and cholesterol in broiler chickens. a completely randomize design was used with a 4×2 factorial arrangement and 256 one-day old broiler chickens (ross 308) with 8 experimental diets in 4 replicates of 8 birds per replicate for each experiment. factors for first exper...

This paper presents part of the work done within the project ‘Advanced Numerical Simulation and Performance Evaluation of WAM-V ® in Spray Generating Conditions’ developed by the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) under Navy Grant N62909-121-7101 issued by the Office of Naval Research Global. One of the primary goals of that project was the development of a comput...

A spectral dynamic stiffness (SDS) model for plate assemblies stiffened by beams is proposed. The theory sufficiently general where the can be subjected to any arbitrary boundary conditions (BCs), but importantly, beam stiffeners of open or closed cross-sections, and maybe connected plates with without eccentricity. First, using modified Fourier series, SDS formulations different are developed ...

Marine biofouling is a well-known massive problem: within the shortest time, ship hulls and other man-made submerged surfaces are inevitably populated by various marine organisms. causes severe economic environmental problems. Thus, effective control on of utmost importance. Since middle 20th century, scientists engineers have developed antifouling coatings mainly based continuous release toxic...

Modification of soybean hulls with citric acid (CA) improves the metal ion binding capacity of the hulls. A process for this modification has been developed. However, the process must be optimized for it to be cost effective. In this regard, the objectives of this study were (1) to develop a wash procedure to remove non-reacted or residual CA after soybean hull modification in order to maximize...

In this paper, an industrial application of CAD is presented, which concerns the measurement and reengineering of the shape of a complete ship hull and of ship’s parts, which is a frequently recurring task in the shipbuilding and ship repair sector. In order to choose the most appropriate measurement method, several typical aspects of our object of measurement, such as its size, possible obstru...

Pistachio fruit components, including hulls (mesocarps and epicarps), seed coats (testas), and kernels (seeds), all contribute to variable aflatoxin content in pistachios. Fresh pistachio kernels were individually inoculated with Aspergillus flavus and incubated 7 or 10 days. Hulled, shelled kernels were either left intact or wounded prior to inoculation. Wounded kernels, with or without the se...

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of substituting corn with soybean hulls on the ingestive behavior and nitrogen balance of Santa Ines lambs. A total of 25 lambs with an initial body weight of 20±2 kg at approximately six months of age, sheltered individually in stalls (1.10 m×1.0 m), considering an entirely casual experimental delineation. Soybean hulls were substituted for ...

Depth and visual hulls are useful for quick reconstruction and rendering of a 3D object based on a number of reference views. However, for many scenes, especially multi-object, these hulls may contain significant artifacts known as phantom geometry. In depth hulls the phantom geometry appears behind the scene objects in regions occluded from all the reference views. In visual hulls the phantom ...
