Proximate Analysis of Apu-Apu Leaf Weeds in Lake Tondano Waters as Raw Material for Tilapia (Orechromis niloticus) Feed Formulation

The effect of feed ingredients on the settling velocity of feces in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)

Design Considerations for a PEM Fuel Cell Powered Truck APU

In recent years interest has been growing in using fuel cell powered auxiliary power units (APUs) to reduce idling in line-haul trucks. Demonstrations of this technology have been constructed at universities and within industry, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Invariably, in every design, tradeoffs need to be made and this has resulted in a multitude of different APU solutions t...

The effect of feed ingredients on the settling velocity of feces in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)

Proximate composition of selected potential feedstuffs for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus) production in Kenya

Nutrition is vital in fish farming because feed costs represent 40–50 % of the total variable production costs (SHANG, 1992; CRAIG and HELFRICH, 2002). For several decades, fishmeal has been used as the main source of protein in fish feeds (TACON and JACKSON, 1985; TACON, 1993; EL-SAIDY and GABER, 2004; ALCESTE and JORY, 2000). However, the periodically occurring low availability, competition a...

Apu Fmea Validation and Its Application to Fault Identification

FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a systematic method to characterize product and process problems. As a standard document, an FMEA is produced during the design of a product or system. However, once a system is deployed, the corresponding FMEA is rarely validated and updated. This is mainly due to the lack of method to validate and update FMEA. This paper argues that historical maint...
