this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding mash versus pellet with different thermal process on blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and broiler performance. 192 (one-day) cobb broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with 4 experimental groups (diets) and 4 replicates of ten chicks each (totally 16 pens). the experimental treatment groups consisted of m...

Process variations yield the asymmetry on core performance in many-core processors. Adaptive voltage scaling can hide the variations, but that results in the different thermal characteristics of cores. By using the thermal characteristics, the efficiency of energy optimization and temperature management can be improved. Experiments showed that the proposed dynamic voltage frequency scaling cons...

Thermal characteristics of pressure-driven, power-law fluid flows through narrow confinements are analyzed following a semi-analytical approach, by taking into consideration the electrokinetic effects beyond the Debye-Hückel limit. The influence of the induced streaming potential on the flow velocity, temperature and Nusselt number are delineated for parametric variations of the ionic Peclet nu...

objective(s):the aim of this study was to improve flowability and compressibility characteristics of starch to use as a suitable excipient in direct compression tabletting. quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion was used as a crystal modification method. materials and methods: corn starch was dissolved in hydrochloric acid at 80˚c and then ethanol as a non-solvent was added with lowering temperature ...

Dense Silicon nitride was investigated to determine the effect of its microstructural parameters and densification on thermo-mechanical properties and thermal stress resistance to fracture initiation during a hot or cold mechanical and thermal shock testing. The different materials and microstructures were obtained by changing the parameters such as the type of the powder, additive, forming p...

The thermal characteristic of a new out-rotor fault-tolerant permanent-magnet (FTPM) motor is modeled and predicted in this paper. Flow characteristics and thermal characteristics of this FTPM motor are calculated by using computational fluid dynamics method. The key is that an equivalent model is developed to replace the real motor, offering the merits of simplified meshing progress and conven...

The fluctuation characteristic of airflow is one of the important factors to influence the indoor thermal environment and human thermal comfort, which attracts researchers’ interest in these years. This paper introduces the recent researches on the fluctuation characteristics of airflow conducted in Tsinghua University. Results show that there exist obvious differences and interesting connectio...

Thermal stability of a porous low-k film is a critical issue for application consideration in the back-end-of-line. In this study, thermal stability of the porous silicate has been investigated by changing the thermal processing temperatures. Experimental results have shown that the dielectric constant of the porous silicate still remains below 2.0 after thermal processing at 500 8C for 1 h. A ...
