Carcass data from one side of 610 steers born from 1988 to 1990 in Cycle IV of the Germ Plasm Evaluation research program were analyzed to develop means for carcass traits and retail product percentages at two fat trim levels (.76 and .00 cm) by yield grade categories. Weights of subcutaneous (s.c.) fat and intermuscular (i.e.m.) fat were recorded separately at each trim level. Quadratic regres...

A solid board factory produces rectangular sheets of cardboard in two different formats, namely large formats and small formats. The production process consists of two stages separated by an inventory point. In the first stage a cardboard machine produces the large formats. In the second stage a part of the large formats is cut into small formats by a separate rotary cut machine. Due to very la...

Modern comprehensive finite element-based tools for the aeromechanic analysis of rotorcraft require the ability of accurately computing the model trim settings. Proportional control laws (auto-pilots) have often been used in many practical instances, because this technique is not directly related to the complexity of the system. On the other hand, classical auto-pilots must be carefully tuned f...

TRIM protein family is an evolutionarily conserved gene family implicated in a number of critical processes including inflammation, immunity, antiviral and cancer. In an effort to profile the expression patterns of TRIM superfamily in several non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, we found that the expression of 10 TRIM genes including TRIM3, TRIM7, TRIM14, TRIM16, TRIM21, TRIM22, TRIM2...

Commercial slaughter steers (n = 329) and heifers (n = 335) were selected to vary in slaughter frame size and muscle thickness score, as well as adjusted 12th rib fat thickness. After USDA carcass grade data collection, one side of each carcass was fabricated into boneless primals/subprimals and minor tissue components. Cuts were trimmed to 2.54, 1.27, and .64 cm of external fat, except for the...
