High densities in bunker silos minimize losses and reduce storage costs; however, the guidelines to attain high densities are based on relatively little research. The objective of this study was to determine those practices or factors most correlated with bunker silo density. Density was measured in 175 bunker silos across Wisconsin using core samples collected at chest height (1.13 m, 3.70 ft,...

Silage is a common way of storing and feeding forage in the United States. There are 4 phases (aerobic, anaerobic, stable, and feedout) that silage undergoes. The most critical phases to manage to minimize nutritive losses are when the silage is going from an aerobic to an anaerobic environment and at feedout. The first important step in achieving silage of high nutritive value is to harvest at...

To be sure, all the industries try to be involved in globalization with a constant trend to find out ways to increase productivity across different functions within an organization to maintain competitive advantage world. Pharmaceutical industries are not exceptional and further are based on fragmentation. So these kind of companies need to cope with several barriers such as silo mentality that...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of lime application on the mass and sugar losses reduction from 2004 to 2005 in karaj. four lime concentrations of 0, 3, 4 and 5 percent (factor a) and storage durations of 30 and 60 days (factor b) were arranged as factorial experiment in rcbd with four replications. the commercial variety of shirin was drilled in early may and storage roots w...

Data analytics and enterprise applications have very different storage functionality requirements. For this reason, enterprise deployments of data analytics are on a separate storage silo. This may generate additional costs and inefficiencies in data management, e.g., whenever data needs to be archived, copied, or migrated across silos. We introduce MixApart, a scalable data processing framewor...

The loss rates and financial profitability of maize storage conservation technologies were assessed in the central northern regions Republic Benin. experimentations conducted specifically villages Boukoumbé Savalou randomly sampled. A total four offered to 137 producers: polypropylene bag, Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage (PICS) metal silo, improved closed earthen attic (with or without stock pro...

We formalize our programming model in the context of a typed lambda calculus with records. Figure 1 shows the abstract syntax of our core language. Besides standard terms, the language includes terms related to (a) spores, (b) silos, and (c) futures. The spore term creates a new spore. It contains a list of variable definitions, the spore header, and a closure which may only refer to its parame...
