Total mixed rations containing conventional forage sorghum, brown midrib (bmr)-6 forage sorghum, bmr-18 forage sorghum, or corn silage were fed to Holstein dairy cows to determine the effect on lactation, ruminal fermentation, and total tract nutrient digestion. Sixteen multiparous cows (4 ruminally fistulated; 124 d in milk) were assigned to 1 of 4 diets in a replicated Latin square design wit...

Increasing efficiency and decreasing cost are the main purposes in the design of the power generation systems. In this study two hybrid systems: solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)-gas turbine (GT) and SOFC-GT-steam turbine (ST); are considered. Increasing the SOFC input temperature causes thermodynamics improvement in the hybrid system operation. For this purpose, using two set of SOFC reactants heat...

あらまし 次世代の移動無線通信では,高速高品質のパケット伝送が求められている.ところで,無線アクセスとして MC-CDMA が有力視 されている.無線パケット伝送では,誤り訂正符号化と自動再送(ARQ)を組み合わせたハイブリッド ARQ(HARQ)が重要な技術である.本 稿では,再送ごとにマルチキャリア(MC-)CDMA の拡散率を変え,周波数ダイバーシチ効果と符号化効果をうまく利用することでスループ ットを向上させるMC-CDMA HARQ を提案している.計算機シミュレーションにより周波数選択性フェージング環境下におけるスループッ トを求め,再送回数によらず常に固定の拡散率を用いる HARQ との比較を行っている.シミュレーション結果より,提案方式は再送回数を 減らすことができ,平均受信 Es/N0 全体に渡って従来の HARQ より良好なスループット特性が得られることを示してい...

The main aim of this research was to study the effect two sowing times (early and late) on Fusarium fumonisin contamination some yield component traits maize hybrids from FAO maturity groups 500 (ZP 560) 600 666) within a two-year growing season (2016–2017). F. verticillioides subglutinans have been identified as ear rot (FER) pathogens potential producers B-type fumonisins (FBs), with predomin...

We conducted three experiments to determine the influence of mechanical processing on corn silage utilization by lactating dairy cows. Total mixed rations contained either unprocessed or processed corn silage harvested between 1/4 and 3/4 milk line. In trial 1, 12 multiparous Holstein cows were used in a replicated double switchback design with 21-d periods. Intake of dry matter (DM) was increa...

in order to study the effects of different sowing dates by some of companion crops on the weeds control, morphological traits and yield of corn sc 504, a field experiment was carried out of research field at tabriz university during 2010 growing season. treatments were arranged in a factorial experiment using randomized complete blocks design with three replicatins. factors was include four lev...

BACKGROUND A previous study has documented the reliability and validity of the Treatment Satisfaction with Medicines Questionnaire (SATMED-Q) in exploring patient satisfaction with medicines for chronic health conditions in routine medical practice, but the minimally important difference (MID) of this tool is as yet unknown. The objective of this research was to estimate the MID for the SATMED-...

This paper presents a number of applied management practices, based on data and research, necessary for dairies in the western United States to produce, store and fed high quality corn silage. These management practices include hybrid selection, growing a quality crop, proper harvest timing, chopping, packing, inoculating and feed out of the stored corn silage.

We examine the existence and identify the sources of advantageous selection in the Philippine crop insurance program for corn. Out of the many potential sources considered, we find that using hybrid instead of genetically modified seeds is a source of advantageous selection in this market as farmers who use hybrid seeds purchase more insurance and are also more productive. We also find that far...
