Feed Water Line Cracking in Pressurized Water Reactor Plants

Seizures induced by the sight of moving water.

The most frequent precipitants of photic- or pattern-induced seizures are television and discotheque lighting effects. Seizure induction by reflection of bright sunlight on water surfaces has also been reported. We report a patient with seizures induced by the sight of moving water in the absence of bright sunlight.

Influence of prefast feed intake on recovery from feed and water deprivation by beef steers.

A trial was conducted with 60 steers (257 kg) to determine the influence of prefast feed intake on recovery from feed and water deprivation. For 3 d, steers were fed a 35% roughage diet at 1 (LI) or 1.75% (MI) of body weight or ad libitum (AL). Steers were then deprived of feed and water for 24 h, limit-fed and watered for 24 h, deprived of feed and water for 48 h and then allowed ad libitum fe...

Consumptive water use to feed humanity -- curing a blind spot

Since in large parts of the world it is getting difficult to meet growing water demands by mobilising more water, the discourse has turned its focus to demand management, governance and the necessary concern for aquatic ecosystems by reserving an “environmental flow” in the river. The latter calls for attention to river depletion which may be expected in response to changes in consumptive water...

CORN CO-PRODUCTS Managing Sulfur Concentrations in Feed and Water

Sulfur (S) serves many purposes in the ruminant animal. It is a component of amino acids methionine and cystine, as well as B-vitamins, biotin and thiamine and a number of other organic compounds. Elemental S, sulfates, sulfuric acid, and hydrogen sulfide all may be present in ruminant nutrition. Elemental S, sulfates, and sulfuric acid are relatively non-toxic. Hydrogen sulfide, however, is hi...
