Use of the Brookfield disc spindle and of the Brookfield cone and plate viscometers in the sugar industry is investigated. The theoretical aspects of each viscometer are discussed, including geometry, the ability to measure non-Newtonian fluids and the calculation of the results. Comparisons between the two viscometers, based on the use of viscosity standards, of pure and of impure sucrose solu...

Eight paired comparisons conducted at three field sites with 1059 newly-received lightweight stocker calves were used to determine the effect of free-choice cooked molasses tubs designed for receiving cattle on 28-day receiving period performance, percentage of cattle treated for respiratory disease, and death loss. At all sites, cattle received similar management with the exception that cooked...

BACKGROUND Two economic factors make watermelon worthy of consideration as a feedstock for ethanol biofuel production. First, about 20% of each annual watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes or because they are misshapen; currently these are lost to growers as a source of revenue. Second, the neutraceutical value of lycopene and L-citrulline obtained from watermelon is...

-----------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide having an industrial importance. It is commonly called as heteropolysaccharide which is produced by Xanthomonas campestris. In the present investigation Xanthan gum fermentation by local isolates of Xanthomonas campestris NRRL-B-1449 from sugar...

The current energy and environmental crisis, linked to increasing industrialisation, has progressively driven the adoption of solutions focused on circular life cycle thinking, such as waste management with resource recovery decarbonization technologies. In this context, study was built quantify performance a two-stage wastewater treatment process (dark fermentation anaerobic digestion) in whic...

Abstract The building sector benefits from high-strength lightweight concrete (HSLWC) in various aspects, particularly reducing the structure’s dead load. Incorporating waste materials into HSLWC encourages sustainable practices, reduces their environmental effect, and decreases product’s costs. This research focuses on producing using a pumice stone additive such as sugar molasses, silica fume...
