Ti-4Al-5Mo-5V-5Cr-1Nb (wt.%) is a new type of high-strength (~1300 MPa) titanium (Ti) alloy developed for aerospace applications. Until now, the research on its welding and subsequent heat treatment barren. Herein, we employed electron beam (EBW) to solutionized with phase constituent α + β investigated microstructure mechanical properties in both as-welded (AW) post-weld aging treated (PWAT) c...

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine if supplementing encapsulated butyric acid and zinc (BZ) in lambs abruptly transitioned a finishing diet has effects on growth performance, efficiency dietary net energy utilization, carcass traits following 59.5 d period. Polypay wethers (n = 32; initial shrunk BW 39 kg ± 4.8 kg) were grouped by assigned treatment (CON: 0 g BZ/kg DM; BZ: 2 ...

We aimed to determine the energy requirements for maintenance and gain of 18 prepubertal dairy heifers three breed compositions (BC; Holstein, Gyr, Holstein × Gyr). Diets were formulated gains 0, 400, 800 g/day, corresponding 1.0×, 1.5×, 2.0× maintenance, respectively. Each BC had six animals with an initial body weight (iBW) 219.8 ± 32 kg, 215.8 33 228.3 kg The experiment was designed as a com...

In speech recognition, discriminative training has proved to be an effective method to improve recognition accuracy. It has successfully improved systems of different scales and different languages. While discriminative training has been developing for over 20 years, it continues to draw attention to researchers and remains to be one of the most important topics in speech recognition to date. D...

Our objective was to evaluate life-cycle performance of flocks of two Egyptian breeds, Rahmani (R) and Ossimi (O), and their crosses with Finnish Landrace (F) in two management systems. Management systems were one mating season per year (1M) and three mating seasons per 2 yr (3M). Breeds and crosses studied included purebred R and O, F1 crosses 1/2F-1/2R (FR) and 1/2F-1/2O (FO), and inter se ma...

The objective of this study was to evaluate low and high Brix diets, treated or not with 5 g of calcium oxide per kg of natural matter, and corn silage on intake, digestibility and performance of beef cattle. Forty cattle with initial body weight (BW) of 350 kg were used: five composed the control group, 30 were distributed into random blocks (control) and the other five were distributed in a 5...

Electron beam welding has shown a remarkable job in the space industry for welding of components. It is performed under a vacuum environment that eliminates foreign matter such as hydrogen, oxygen, and other gases. Joining of similar and dissimilar materials is the main advantage of electron beam welding with high depth to width ratio as well as sharp focus at the point where parts are to be we...
