Five experiments were conducted to determine the effect of fat addition to dry-rolled corn (DRC) finishing diets on subacute acidosis. In Exp. 1, five ruminally fistulated steers (410 +/- 12 kg BW) were used in a 5 x 5 Latin square design. Treatments consisted of 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8% tallow added to a 50% fine-ground corn: 50% dry-rolled wheat basal challenge diet and dosed intraruminally as an ac...

There is no wear and no friction with non-contacting sealing systems. Because of this, there is in principle no lifetime-limit. However, this does not apply for grease-filled labyrinth seals. To seal against particles, the grease inside the gaps of the seal has to bind pollution particles and the grease-filled gap must be opened. If the surfaces of the grease layers in the gaps are saturated wi...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound gels may contain propylene glycol and glycerol, which are neurotoxic in high concentrations. If the needle passes through gel during regional anesthesia, gel may be injected near the nerve. It is unknown if this practice poses a risk for neurotoxicity. Using an animal model, we assessed the histological changes of perineural propylene glycol on nerves. We then assessed thr...

The wide spread of food outlets has become an environmental and sanitation infrastructure problem, due to Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG). A grease box is used at the industrials facilities to collect the FOG, in a specific time window, while its quality is good for recycling (e.g., biodiesel) and it is economically valuable. After this period, it will be disposed at a cost. For the proper manageme...

Castor oil plant seeds (Ricinus communis L.) were grown in spent lubricating oil (SLO) contaminated soil at concentrations of 1-6% (w/w, oil/soil). Plant height and stem girth were depressed by spent lubricating oil at concentrations of 2% (w/w) and above. One percent (1%) spent lubricating oil in soil promoted growth of plants when compared with control. Fresh and dry weights of R. communis pl...

Constant further developments in application technology with the aim of higher economic efficiency and power density place ever greater demands on mechanical components construction elements thus lubricating greases used. This is particularly true area roller bearings, which are sometimes used high stress wide temperature ranges. A current example rolling bearings assemblies hybrid vehicles, su...

The texture of cold-rolled and heat-treated TiNi sheet has been measured and designated as {110}(1i0)p. This material has been used in thermal fatigue tests during and after which the anisotropy and development of several thermomechanical properties, such as transformation temperatures and strains, have been measured. Furthermore, the resulting changes of texture after thermal fatigue are prese...
