Three finishing trials were conducted to determine effect of corn processing on degradable intake protein requirement (DIP) of feedlot cattle. In Trial 1, 252 steers were fed 90% concentrate, high-moisture corn-based diets that contained 0, 0.4, 0.8, or 1.2% urea (DM basis) to provide dietary DIP values of 7.0, 8.2, 9.3, and 10.5% of DM, respectively. Nonlinear analysis predicted maximal feed e...

Five ruminally cannulated steers (initial BW = 375 ± 34 kg; ADG = 1.16 ± 0.13 kg) were used in a 5 x 5 Latin square design experiment to determine the effects of increasing urea level on intake, nutrient digestion, nitrogen balance and ruminal kinetics. Isocaloric (NEm = 2.11 Mcal/kg; NEg = 1.35 Mcal/kg) and isonitrogenous (2.24% N) steam-flaked corn-based diets with urea concentrations of 0.0,...

Carbon dioxide has been used commercially to recover oil from reservoirs for more than 40 years. Currently, CO2 flooding is the second most applied enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process in the world behind steam flooding. Water alternating gas (WAG) injection has been a popular method to control mobility and improve volumetric sweep efficiency for CO2 flooding. Average EOR is about 9.7% with a ra...

Eighty medium-framed yearling crossbreed heifers (357 kg) were used in a 110-d trial to evaluate the influence of dietary protein level (11 vs 14%) on the feeding value of dry rolled (DRC) and steam-flaked corn (SFC). All diets contained 1% urea, cottonseed meal (CSM) was the source of supplemental UIP. Steam flaking corn reduced DMI (9%, P < .10), and increased (P < .01) feed efficiency (14%),...

To survey the effects of flooding during the reproductive growth stages of aerenchyma formation and ethylene production in soybean cultivar DPX experiment  the completely randomized factorial was in 2012 in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Factors examined include nutrition levels in three levels (1 - inoculated with bacteria JaponicumBradyRhizobium 2 - non-inoc...

A technique capable of capturing the dynamics of reservoir fluids in the proximity of production wells would provide enormous benefits to the reservoir management. In fact, monitoring can be used to develop a feedback loop between measurements and control technologies to optimize production. This paper validates the feasibility of a borehole radar tool as a permanent down-hole sensor for near-w...

Although MANETs have typically been considered as isolated, stand-alone networks with no connection to the Internet, it is quite likely that future internetworks may interconnect numerous MANET clouds, each running different routing mechanisms. This could be primarily dictated by administrative constraints or different network functional and performance requirements and can result in scenarios ...
