Distillers grains with solubles (DGS) and corn gluten feed (CGF) are the major byproducts of ethanol production fed to cattle. Both DGS and CGF can be fed wet or dried with animal performance usually similar when fed as wet or dried products; however, some research results favored the wet products. Cattle diets can contain DGS or CGF as replacements for portions of both concentrates and forages...

The primary commodity of corn wet milling is starch, but two coproducts (corn gluten feed, CGF and corn gluten meal, CGM) also are produced. CGM and CGF are marketed as animal foodstuffs and are important economically; however, variation in composition reduces quality. There are few data on the effect of composition of the parent process streams, light steep water (LSW) and light gluten (LG), r...

In asynchronous duty-cycled wireless sensor networks, it is desirable that the data forwarding scheme is adaptive to the dynamics caused by the uncertainty of sensor nodes’ working schedules. Contentionbased forwarding is designed to adapt to the dynamic environments. In this work, we are interested in the contention-based geographic forwarding (CGF) for two asynchronous duty-cycling (ADC) mode...

BACKGROUND Fibrin clot membranes prepared from advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) or concentrated growth factors (CGF), despite their relatively rapid biodegradability, have been used as bioactive barrier membranes for alveolar bone tissue regeneration. As the membranes degrade, it is thought that the growth factors are gradually released. However, the mechanical and degradable properties of...

In this paper, we focus on invariant texture segmentation, and propose a new method using circular Gabor filters (CGF) for rotation invariant texture segmentation. The traditional Gabor function is modified into a circular symmetric version. The rotation invariant texture features are achieved via the channel output of the CGF. A new scheme of the selection of Gabor parameters is also proposed ...

Ultimate widespread use of CGF entities in tactical simulations will depend on how easy it will be to develop, refine and maintain models of the behaviors to be represented. However, proper vehicle behavior model development for CGF applications can be difficult as well as expensive. Means to quickly and effectively create models for new vehicles and/or behaviors must be developed to permit CGF...

This work addresses the problem of point cloud registration in the context of RGB-Depth data. The Color and Geometric Feature (CGF) registration presented here utilizes both intensity and depth data, in order to achieve an optimal use of all available resources. Registration is achieved by performing optimization over a joint cost function, exploiting texture features and correspondences betwee...

Inference of network internal link characteristics has become an increasingly important issue for operating and evaluating large telecommunication networks. Since it is usually impractical to directly monitor each link along a specific path, end-to-end probes are sometimes used to collect link characteristic information at edge nodes of the network. This paper deals with unicast probing methods...

The present paper investigates the suitability of cFF printed material and technologies for crashworthiness applications. To this end, quasi-static dynamic crush behaviour 3D thin-walled hollow profiles reinforced with continuous carbon (cCF/PA) glass fibres (cGF/PA), in axial radial loading were analysed. Despite specific microstrutural differences generated during printing, nature constituent...

We propose a deterministic two-scale tissue-cellular approach for modeling growth factor-induced angiogenesis. The bioreaction and diffusion of capillary growth factors (CGF) are modeled at a tissue scale, whereas capillary extension, branching and anastomosis are modeled at a cellular scale. The capillary indicator function is used to bridge these two scales. To solve the equation system numer...
