Abstract An on‐farm solid–liquid separator (SLS) and rotary drum composter (RD) manure treatment system was monitored for its impact on antibiotic residues resistance genes (ARGs). Administered antibiotics were tracked, mass flows quantified. Total amounts of ARGs calculated from measured concentrations flows. Only oxytetracycline (OTC) sulfadimethoxine (SDM) detected in the influent. No β‐lact...

Creel surveys were performed over a three week period in late spring, 2011, in the Lafourche and Calcasieu area estuaries of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Weights and lengths were measured for black drum (Pogonias cromis), red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), and spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), and relative condition factors were calculated relative to expected weights from the long term (5 year...

It is very important in the design of a drying system is to evaluate sticking behaviour of the materials goes under drying. A new approach to the sticking issue is applied in this study by carrying out a sticking test for the liquid associated with the materials under study. It was found that the liquid bridge is responsible of the initial sticking of the materials to the contact surface and th...

Reducing start and stop time without destroying the pavement surface is important in enhancing productivity of double-drum roller and compact quality of asphalt pavement, but it is difficult in confirming the maximum brake deceleration or start acceleration of double-drum roller. Dynamic analysis is used in studying these questions, and a mathematic model of double-drum roller is established, b...

During the composition of a piece of music, composers often focus on the crafting of melody and harmonic lines rather than a percussive track that may accompany them. For amateur composers, creating a drum track by hand can be both tedious and frustrating, due to their lack of skill and experience with the task. In recent years, computer software tools have been created to help automate the cre...

The purpose of this work is to analyze the distribution bulk materials according characteristic parameters mixing process at second stage processing in a rotary apparatus. design device has wide range, including for needs agriculture, example, when forming mixtures mineral fertilizers and multifunctional pyrethroid drugs. At stage, impact interaction with bump surface rarefied flows components ...

This study measured surface electromyography of the biceps brachii and triceps brachii during repeated drum playing with and without a drumstick to better understand activation of the upper arm muscles and inform the use of instrument playing for motor rehabilitation. A total of 40 healthy college students participated in this study. All participants were asked to strike a drum with their hand ...

A percussionist can alter the harmonic content of a tunable acoustic drum to provide a desired sound. By analysis of different aspects in construction of a drum the specific sound can be implemented. Through a Fast Fourier Transform of electronically acquired audio data an analysis of a drum can be performed at many stages of its construction. By dissecting the drum construction into various la...

Techniques for Machine Understanding of Live Drum Performances by Eric Dean Battenberg Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Nelson Morgan, Chair This dissertation covers machine listening techniques for the automated realtime analysis of live drum performances. Onset detection, drum detection, beat tracking...
