Twenty-four multiparous lactating Holstein cows were blocked by days in milk and assigned to treatment sequences in a replicated 4x4 Latin square with 21-d periods. The four diets, formulated from alfalfa silage plus a concentrate mix based on ground high moisture ear corn, contained [dry matter (DM) basis]: 1) 20% concentrate, 80% alfalfa silage (24% nonfiber carbohydrates; NFC), 2) 35% concen...

Smart phones are on a course to becoming a need instead of just a want as users are integrating the devices into every aspect of their lives. Smart phones adoption also increases due to the convergence of value-added services in them. One of the technologies which will enhance this convergence is Near Field Communication (NFC). NFC is a short range high frequency wireless communication technolo...

In this study, we characterized and modeled the rheology of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibril (NFC) aqueous suspensions with electrostatically stabilized and unflocculated nanofibrous structures. These colloidal suspensions of slender and wavy nanofibers exhibited a yield stress and a shear thinning behavior at low and high shear rates, respectively. Both the shear yield stress and the consis...

an in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplemental non-fiber carbohydrate(nfc) on the disappearance kinetics of cellulose (ce) by mixed ruminal microorganisms. non-supplementedor nfc supplemented cellulose (467 mg nfc/g cellulose as sucrose (cesu) or starch (cest) or a 1:1 mixtureof sucrose + starch (cesust)) were incubated for 24, 48, and 96 h at 39°c. after each incu...

NFC (Near Field Communication) technology facilitates mobile phone usage of billions of people throughout the world that offers diverse services ranging from payment and loyalty applications to access keys for offices and houses. NFC technology is one emerging and promising technology that have adopted smart card as secure element (SE) to provide a secure area for the execution of multiple appl...

An experiment assessed the joint effect of dispositional need for closure (NFC) and task difficulty on engagement-related myocardial beta-adrenergic activity. Participants who scored either low or high on the NFC scale performed an ambiguous categorization task with either low or high difficulty. Confirming the theory-derived predictions, task difficulty effects on pre-ejection period (PEP) rea...

In this paper, a Prototype design of electronic coupons ecosystem using NFC (Near Field Communication) in smart phones with OMM (Object Memory Model) is presented. The goal of OMM is to support the life cycle of NFC-based Electronic Coupon ecosystem for profile and usage, from E-Coupon push service and to E-Coupon clearance, using smart phone based on NFC devices. We propose the E-Coupon with O...

This article hypothesizes that the individual-difference variable, need for cognition (NFC), can have opposite implications for priming effects, depending on prime blatancy. Subtle primes are argued to be more effective for high- versus low-NFC individuals. This is because for high-NFC individuals, (a) constructs are generally easier to activate, (b) their higher amount of thought offers more o...

The enhanced Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology called Near Field Communication (NFC), is a standards-based wireless communication technology. Passive NFC devices, such as contactless smart cards use NFC to communicate with other devices without any physical connection, or an internal battery source, deriving power inductively via the radio field generated by the NFC reader device...
