Effects of 2 pellet diameters for piglets pre- and postweaning on feed intake, BW, and feed-related behavior were studied in 3 experiments. In Exp. 1, 19 litters were provided with pellets of 2 and 12 mm in diameter in a choice-feeding setup from d 4 of lactation onward. From d 4 to 18, piglets preferred the 12-mm diameter pellet over the 2-mm diameter pellet (519 vs. 168 g/pen; P < 0.001). In ...

T HE volume o’ f literature considering the food habits of owls approaches prodigious proportions (see Earhart and Johnson, 1970). Much of this information has been derived from analysis of the pellets of non-digestible matter which these raptors egest periodically. A number of authors have reviewed this technique and its applications (Craighead and Craighead, 1956; Errington, 1930, 1932; Fishe...

Various investigations have focused on understanding the relationship between mucosal serotonin (5-HT) and colonic motility, however contradictory studies have questioned the importance of this intestinal transmitter. Here we described the fabrication and use of a fecal pellet electrochemical sensor that can be used to simultaneously detect the release of luminal 5-HT and colonic motility. Feca...

AN IN VITRO COMPARISON OF THE SETTING OF MTA WITH AND WITHOUT THE APPLICATION OF A MOIST COTTON PELLET Craig D. Johnson, D.D.S. Marquette University, 2010 Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the setting of MTA with and without the application of a moist cotton pellet. Methods: Fifty samples of MTA were mixed according to manufacturer’s instructions, placed with an amalgam car...

The efficiency of pellet injection and the relationship between D/T fuel ratio and plasma parameters were analyzed numerically using the TOTAL (toroidal transport analysis linkage) simulation code, which consists of the equilibrium calculation code and a one-dimensional transport simulation model. The simulation which included scanning the pellet penetration depth and the pellet D/T ratio was p...

in this study, the isothermal reduction of iron oxide pellets, made of iranian chadormalo, gole-gohar, and sangan iron ores, was investigated in the temperature range of 900-1100°c. tabas, pabdana, babnizoo, karmozd, and shahrood domestic coals were used as reductants. parametric studies were performed and the effects of such factors as temperature, average particle size of iron ore and coal fi...

Spontaneous migration of airgun pellet in the brain CT scans of an 18-year-old girl shot in the right eye by a 0-177 airgun pellet fired from close range. Top left: The pellet passed through the orbital roof, entered the intracranial compartment via the cribriform plate and lodged in the left cerebral hemisphere adjacent to the anterior limb of the internal capsule (arrow, top right). Bottom le...
