Two luminous marine bacteria, strains LC2-065(T) and LC2-102, were isolated from seawater at Sagami Bay in Japan. These bacteria were Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, motile and coccoid-rods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) using six loci (ftsZ, gapA, gyrB, mreB, pyrH and topA) and sequence analysis of the alpha subunit of luciferase (l...

A combined pyrolysis and gasification process for sewage sludge was studied in this paper for the purpose of its safe disposal with energy self-balance. Three sewage sludge samples with different dry basis lower heat values (LHV(db)) were used to evaluate the constraints on this combined process. Those samples were pre-dried and then pyrolysed within the temperature range of 400-550 degrees C. ...

The aim of this experiment was to determine CH4 production and energy partition for a range of diets fed to Bos indicus cattle. Six Brahman cattle were fed on three different diets in a replicated Latin square experiment over three periods. The diets were (1) long-chopped Angleton grass (Dicanthium aristatum) hay ad libitum (DM digestibility (DMD) 41 (SE 2)%; 4 g N/kg), (2) long-chopped Rhodes ...

ABSTRACT: The determination of nutritional requirements, based on diets administered in practice, considers physiological specificities and sustainability are essential to the development suitable aquaculture technologies for novel fish species. growth jundia (Rhamdia quelen Quoy Gaimard) juveniles (31.54 ± 4.92 g) fed five comprising increasing levels digestible protein (DP: 24, 29, 34, 39, 44...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of a yoghurt containing a novel fat emulsion on energy and macronutrient intakes up to 8 h post-consumption in non-overweight, overweight and obese subjects, and to assess energy compensation over the following 24 h. DESIGN: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject crossover design was used. Twenty (10 female, 10 male) nonoverweight (body mass ind...

The utilization of biomass can not only alleviate the energy crisis but also reduce pollution fossil fuels to environment. Biomass gasification is one main methods, which effectively convert into high-value and wide-use gas. However, this process inevitably produces by-product tar, affects yield syngas. In order solve problem, a two-stage combining pyrolysis CO2 catalytic reforming proposed in ...

During the past few years, modeling in agriculture has attracted considerable attention. New modeling methods including neural networks are employed in various industries, and it is necessary that their use in agriculture be also considered. This research addressed the trend of energy use in broiler farms in Alborz Province and sought to model the trend of energy consumption and production in t...

I . The protein requirements of lambs were established by measuring nitrogen balance in seventy-four animals given liquid diets which passed direct to the abomasum. Four groups of lambs weighing approximately 8 kg (group I), 13 kg (group z), 21 kg (group 3) and 30 kg (group 4) received diets in which 0-10, 0.15, ozo,o'z5, 0 . 3 0 , 0 3 5 or w4oof thedigestibleenergy was provided as protein (DPE...
