Consumption of endophyte-infected tall fescue during summer months can result in severe hyperthermia in cattle. Six heifers (296+/-8.3 kg BW) were used to determine changes in body temperature control that occur with consumption of an endophyte-infected tall fescue diet during controlled heat challenge. All animals were exposed in five separate periods to a step increase in ambient temperature ...

externally incident radiation. The present study provides a simple, straightforward, and highly accurate method of analysis for the determination of angular distribution of radiation anywhere in the medium. As an independent check, the results are compared with those calculated with the FN method [4]; the agreement was very good. Computations require very little computer time. In the tables pre...

The relationship between the Randic , Wiener, Hosoya , Balaban, Schultz indices, Harary numbers andDistance matrix to enthalpies of formation (Airf), heat capacity, (Cp) , enthalpies of combustion (AH °c ),enthalpy of vaporization (AH °vap) and normal boiling points (bpK)of C2 C10 normal alkanes isrepresented

In this study, monocrystalline silicon was ablated by a single 1030 nm femtosecond laser pulse. Variable fluence (0.16–3.06 J/cm2) used, and two ablation thresholds (0.8 1.67 were determined experimentally. A two-temperature model established based on the dynamic optical model, carrier density phase explosion for comparison with experimental results. The melting (0.25 vaporization (0.80 when la...

Issues such as rising fuel prices, costs, and lowering reserves highlight the importance of research into sustainable fuels derived from biological sources. This study is focused on experiments a CI engine using ethanol propanol-based ternary blends. Palm biodiesel kept constant at 40% volumetric concentration, while diesel ethanol/propanol are varied in different batches. The results obtained ...

Desiccant wheels are widely used in buildings to control humidity and reduce energy consumption. A model is presented based on transient coupled heat and mass transfer, to model, design and analyze the effects of geometrical characteristics of a honeycombed rotary desiccant wheel and its performance. Governing equations are solved numerically using finite volume method and the model is validate...
