This study aimed to investigate the effects of storage duration and temperature on the characteristics of wet brewers grains (WBG) as feeds for ruminant animals. Four storage temperatures (5°C, 15°C, 25°C, and 35°C) and four durations (0, 1, 2, and 3 d) were arranged in a 4×4 factorial design. Surface spoilage, chemical composition and microorganism density were analyzed. An in vitro gas test w...

This contribution addresses the resource-constrained flowshop scheduling problem of Automated Wet-etch Stations (AWSs) in wafer fabrication of semiconductor manufacturing facilities by means of a Constraint Programming (CP) methodology. The proposed integrated approach consists of both a CP model and an efficient search strategy. The former handles different features found in the complex automa...

A patient with a lysosomal storage disease, progressive neurologic degeneration, and renal failure was found to have accumulated a low molecular weight nin-hydrin and phenol-HzS04 reactive compound. Amino acid analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified a glutamic acid moiety. Direct insertion mass spectrometry proved the carbohydrate portion to be a sugar phosphate. NaB3H4 red...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) was surveyed in the residential biotopes of Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri and Raigadh districts, Maharashtra State during dry (January-May & November- December) and wet (June-October) months in 2002 to update information on its distribution, to analyse post invasion establishment, and to study its prevalence. METHODS The survey was design...

An analysis of the lipids in normal human liver is presented which is particularly designed to assist in the classification and study of lipid-storage diseases. Special emphasis has been given to a determination of the quantity and composition of the neutral glycolipid classes and predominant ganglioside (Gm(3)). The neutral glycolipid content of 0.19 (sd +/- 0.11) micro moles per g wet tissue,...
