A meta-analysis was conducted to determine NE and net protein requirements of growing bulls, steers, and heifers of Nellore purebred and Nellore x Bos taurus crossbreds. A database of 16 comparative slaughter studies (n = 389 animals) was gathered to provide enough information to develop equations to predict the requirements of NE(m), NE(g), and net protein for maintenance (NP(m)) and growth (N...

Abstract Joining the aluminium 6061-T6 alloy (Al6061-T6) using Electron Beam Welding (EBW) wais important, especially in aerospace. Although EBW method has been used for different materials literature, there are a limited number of studies Al6061-T6 alloy. The study aimed at weldability and welding quality plates by experimentally numerically technique. A numerical model generated to obtain app...

A new discrete distribution for count data called extended biparametric Waring (EBW) is developed. Its name related to the fact that, in a specific configuration of its parameters, it can be seen as version univariate generalized (UGW) distribution, well-known model variance decomposition into three components: randomness, liability and proneness. Unlike UGW EBW both overdispersed underdisperse...

In the electron cyclotron range of frequencies, the high-β NSTX plasmas are overdense to the traditional extraordinary X mode and/or the ordinary O mode. For low harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency, the X and O modes are cutoff at the edge and for high harmonics the plasma is essentially optically thin to these modes. Thus, heating of such plasmas by electron cyclotron waves or diagno...

The complex Pearson (CP) distributions are a family of probability models for count data generated by the Gaussian hypergeometric function with arguments. triparametric (CTP) distribution and its biparametric versions, (CBP) extended Waring (EBW) distributions, belong to this family. They all have explicit expressions mass (pmf), generating moments, so they easy handle from computational point ...

This work demonstrates applicability of electron beam welding (EBW) and laser (LBW) techniques for manufacture tailored welded blanks (TWBs) from Al-5251 (H22) Al-6082 (T6) sheets. A combination dissimilar sheets as well thicknesses (1.5 mm 2.5 mm) has been used in addition to a similar combination. An optimal post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) was determined that effective relieving stresses impa...

Abstract Predicting the penetration depth during electron beam welding (EBW) is important, but accuracy of current predictive models highly varied, depending on type and number data used. This paper develops compares several prediction for EBW uniquely influence used, as well measurement modelling methods. Although accelerating voltage, speed are essential inputs, additional focal position shap...
