Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Time Required to Detect Induced Sow Lameness Using an Embedded Microcomputer-Based Force Plate SystemBrady McNeil, Julia Calderón Díaz, Caitlyn Bruns et al.Lameness in swine breeding herds is a common cause of compromised animal well-being and economic loss to pig producers. Current lameness assessment methods are subjective and require intensive training. It has been shown that embedded microcomputer-based force plate systems can detect lameness by measuring weight distributions in livestock. The objective of this study was to determine the minimum time required … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 May 2018 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) on Photovoltaic Panels using Fuzzy Logic MethodAhmad Faizal, Sutoyo, Mulyono et al.Solar energy is a clean energy, renewable, and available for the long term. The tool used to convert the energy generated from the intensity of sunlight into electricity is photovoltaic panels. However, due to the high cost and low efficiency, the use of the energy is still kind small compared to other types of energy sources. Thus, the need for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Aug 2016 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Subacute Ruminal Acidosis on Milk Fatty Acid Profile in Dairy CattleC. Mitchell, O. ALZahal, M.M. Or-Rashid et al.The objective of this experiment was to examine the effect of Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) on milk fatty acid (FA) profiles with emphasis on odd-chain and branched-chain FA. Sixteen multiparous Holstein dairy cows (618±35 kg of body weight, 221±32 days in milk) were used in a randomized complete-block design. During week 1, all cows received a high-forage diet (90% chopped … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2016 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy Southern Mediterranean Countries Fail To Innovate?Trabelsi RamziThis paper aims to analyze the factors that influence research investment in the Mediterranean region. We used a robust fixed effects model to analysis a panel of 22 countries for the period 2000-2012. The results showed that the FDI, the high technology export, the human capital devoted to research, intermediate and final production sectors, are significant and stimulate the Southern … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2015 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Cows Under Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) Attempt to Self-Medicate?Erin Hendriksen, Ousama AlZahal, Tom C. Wright et al.The objective of this study was to examine feed-sorting behavior of dairy cows in response to a grain challenge that leads to Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA). Sixteen multiparous, rumen-cannulated lactating Holstein cows were used. During the first 49 days of the experiment, all cows received a High-Forage diet (HF; 77:23, F: C; NFC=35). Cows were then transitioned to a High-Grain … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 Sep 2015 · 7,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Mechanical Properties of Fused Deposition Modelling Processed Polyphenylsulfone MaterialBolin Huang, S.H. Masood, Mostafa Nikzad et al.Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) has attained its reputation due to the capability of rapidly fabricating prototypes from concept design to real parts in shorter time and lower cost than traditional manufacturing processes. This study sheds light on the dynamic mechanical properties of Polyphenylsulfone (PPSF) material fabricated by FDM additive manufacturing process considering the effect of its various process parameters. Three … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 16 Jul 2015 · 8,340 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINCREASING ADSORPTION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL FOR ADSORB H2S FROM BIOGAS PRODUCTION BY IMPREGNATIONWasan Phooratsamee, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat Teekasap, Jongjit HirunlabhBiogas is the combustible gas produced through a biological process, known as anaerobic digestion which is the process operated at low-temperature and without air. Biogas consists of 55-80% CH4, 20-45% CO2 with trace amount of H2S and other impurities. Common H2S removal technologies from biogas fall into one of adsorption on a solid such as iron oxide based materials, activated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 16 Aug 2014 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION WITH Na2CO3 AND ZnCl2 AS IMPRENATED AGENTS FOR H2S ADSORPTIONKanokorn HussaroHydrogen Sulfide (H2S, rotten-egg) is one of the major environmental pollutants having its sources in natural and anthropogenic activities. It’s had smell gas produced by anaerobic digestion in acid condition from organic and inorganic compounds containing sulphur, presents dual problems of its toxicity and foul ordour. One of methods of its removal is adsorption. Activated carbon is a widely used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jun 2014 · 8,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON HEAT TRANSPORT CAPABILITY OF A TWO PHASE THERMOSYPHON CHARGED WITH DIFFERENT WORKING FLUIDSM. Kannan, R. Senthil, R. Baskaran, B. DeepanrajIn the present investigation a two phase thermosyphon has been fabricated to investigate the effect of operating parameters on the heat transport capability. The system consists of evaporator section, adiabatic section and condenser section with thermocouples located on the wall of thermosyphon. Electric heater was fixed on the bottom of the evaporator section and water jacket for cooling the condenser … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 6,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Thermal Characteristics of a Sintered-Wick Heat Pipe with Double Heat SourcesNattawut Tharawadee, Pradit Terdtoon, Niti Kammuang-lueHeat pipes have been used extensively in the electronic industry for decades especially in laptop computers. For cost-effectiveness, a single heat pipe is designed to simultaneously transfer heat from both the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) inside the main board to the heat sink. This causes the efficiency of the heat pipe to change without … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
