Integrated circuits (ICs or microchips) are used in high-tech consumer electronics such as computers and automobiles. In the history of IC manufacturing, 1980s featured rapid improvement spreading chip manufacturing technology around globe. This led to United States manufacturers which had been incumbent leaders so far face new competition. The Japanese effectively captured both US world market...

Atlantic Water (AW), which is transported northward by the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), partly recirculates (i.e., turns westward) in Fram Strait. This determines how much heat and salt reaches Arctic Ocean, joins East Greenland on its southward path. We describe AW recirculation's location, seasonality, mesoscale variability analyzing first observations from moored instruments at five latit...

This study aimed to identify suitable predictors of nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE; milk N/N intake) for cows that differed in breeds and were fed with ryegrass pasture, using existing data from the scientific literature. Data 16 studies used develop models based on relationships between NUE dietary animal-based factors. a further 10 model validation. Milk urea N (MUN) water-soluble carbohydr...

In this paper we review the history of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) during 2008–2017, a period characterized by financial stability, continued growth, and inroads into the new age of simulation. In particular, we trace the modernization of the Conference as well as its expansion outside of the United States for the first time.

To better understand the mechanism underlying water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC)-regulated silage fermentation, bacterial community and fermentation quality of stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) ensiled without (sterile distilled water) (CK) or with 10 g/kg sucrose (S), glucose (G), molasses (M) were investigated. Each treatment was in three plastic bag silos for 30 days. The DM 301.0 (fresh matter...

Forage management and environmental conditions affect water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) storage, and, in turn, influence ruminant forage utilization silvopastoral systems. The objective was to determine effects of four dependent variables: species [(non-native, C3 (orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.)) native C4 mix (8:1:1 big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman), little (Schizachyrium scopariu...

In this paper, a new method of calculating the WSC number is being presented, used for measuring the quality of navigation in a web site. The method of calculating this number is based on using a relation between the web pages of the web site and constructing a reduced navigation graph.

Two trials (feedlot and metabolism) were conducted to evaluate the influence of level of chopped tall fescue hay (FH) in high concentrate diets on average daily gain (ADG), liquid and particulate passage rates, digestibility and in situ digestibility of corn. In the feedlot trial, 36 Hereford steers were fed diets containing 15, 30 and 50% FH in combination with 74, 59 and 39% whole shelled cor...

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between nitrogen (N) partitioning and isotopic fractionation in lactating goats consuming diets with a constant high concentration of N and increasing levels of water soluble carbohydrate (WSC). Eight lactating goats were offered four different ratios of WSC : N in the diet. A two-period incomplete cross-over design was used, with ...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of corn and green gram intercropping on yield and some quality characteristics of forage at agricultural research station of gorgan during summer 2006 & 2007. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with twelve treatments and four replications. a local green gram and corn single cross 550 were the crops used in t...
