The aim of this study was isolation and identification fungi producing aflatoxin B1 from wheat which stored for four months in some silos Baghdad , including Al Taji Silo, Khan Bani Saad Silo Dhari Silo. Those Silos were included the agricultural plan marketing season 2020. Different types obtained. They initially identified according to cultural morphological characteristics as Alternaria spp,...

Smouldering fires in wood pellet silos are not uncommon. The fires are often difficult to deal with and extinguishment is a lengthy process. Injection of inert gasses to prevent oxygen from reaching the smouldering fire zone and suppress combustion is a new firefighting strategy. This article argues that injection of inert carbon dioxide into the silo headspace is unsafe. Carbon dioxide is gene...

Many factors affect the silage fermentation process. For example, the DM content and buffering capacity of the crop to be ensiled, the amount of fermentable sugar available at ensiling and the type and numbers of microorganisms that dominate the fermentation process can markedly affect fermentation. However, Woolford (1990) stated that “the single most important factor which influences the effi...

Pulse beetle (Callosobruchus maculatus) is a common weevil that responsible for up to 24% of stored pulse losses. Using black gram grain storage, the efficiency carbon dioxide gas against all life stages Callosobruchus maculatus insects was tested at various concentrations and exposure times. The trials were carried out in pilot bins with capacity 25 kg. At CO2 concentration 50%, complete morta...

For many years, the health care community has used a silo approach to oral health, with little exception, treating the oral cavity as the sole province of the dentist, with no interaction with the medical profession. However, as research shows links between periodontal disease and diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and peripheral arterial disease, it seems clear that the silo approach to oral hea...

I. Introduction Banking-style institutions have existed for over two thousand years and are even documented in the earliest civilizations. For example, in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, barley and grain were forms of currency and the grain silos and state warehouses acted as banks. 1 An ancient Babylonian clay tablet explains that city workers received wages denominated in liters of barley that...

Autonomous robots are leaving the laboratories to master new outdoor applications, and walking robots in particular have already shown their potential advantages in these environments, especially on a natural terrain. Gait generation is the key to success in the negotiation of natural terrain with legged robots; however, most of the algorithms devised for hexapods have been tested under laborat...

Objective. To describe a profoundly immunocompromised (panleukopenia) child with septic shock who developed abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and was successfully treated with surgical decompression. Design. Individual case report. Setting. Pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary children's hospital. Patient. A 32-month-old male with Fanconi anemia who underwent bone marrow transplantati...

Operational data indicates that vertical roller cement mills (VRCM) consumed lesser energy when compared to horizontal/ball mills. A case study of a was carried out in Nigeria which experiencing lower production output and higher consumption. This research investigate reasons behind the low on VRCM. thorough analysis clinker storage facilities heat transfer across composite cylindrical silo wal...

A two-dimensional silo pressure model-problem is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. A plane silo container is filled by a granular matter consisting of congruent elliptic particles dropped one by one into the silo. A suitable energy absorbing contact force mechanism is activated during particle collisions and collisions against the walls. After a while the residual kinetic energy i...
