iCAST: A PROTOTYPE THUNDERSTORM NOWCASTING SYSTEM FOCUSED ON OPTIMIZATION OF THE HUMAN-MACHINE MIX

A prototype thunderstorm nowcasting system, tentatively named iCAST (interactive Convective Analysis and Storm Tracking), is being developed at Environment Canada with an emphasis on optimizing the ‘human-machine mix’. The prototype aims to build on the strengths of the human forecaster in the thunderstorm nowcasting process while making the best use of machine computing capabilities. iCAST is ...

Adding Dried Distillers Grains to Swine Diets Affects Feed Preference

Three studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on feed intake in growing pigs. In all experiments, pigs were housed in 10.5 × 10.3 ft pens with four 1-hole feeders in each pen to allow pigs to choose from four dietary treatments. In Experiment 1, we evaluated the influence of DDGS drying method on palatability of DDGS. Diets were a control c...
