Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDetermining 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Land Cover on Streamflow Variability in a Small Iowa Watershed: Assessing Future VulnerabilitiesKeith Schilling, Matthew Streeter, Kasey Hutchinson et al.Agricultural expansion and urbanization, coupled with climate change represent major threats to the sustainability of river ecosystems and infrastructure. In this study, we evaluated how subbasins with different dominant land covers within the 27.5 km2 Clear Creek, IA watershed affect key hydrologic indicators. Hydrologic output from two stream gages and a calibrated Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model were used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 8,367 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE IMPROVEMENT OF THE COMPUTATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE ZONAL MODEL POMA USING PARALLEL TECHNIQUESYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif Megri, Kenneth M. Flurchick, Dukka Bahadur K.C.The zonal modeling approach is a new simplified computational method used to predict temperature distribution, energy in multi-zone building and indoor airflow thermal behaviors of building. Although this approach is known to use less computer resource than CFD models, the computational time is still an issue especially when buildings are characterized by complicated geometry and indoor layout of furnishings. Therefore, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2014 · 7,731 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUndergraduate Geriatric Dentistry Programs in SpainLaura San Martin Galindo, David Ribas Perez, Kenneth Anthony Eaton, Eyitope O. OgunbodedeThe increasing size of the elderly population in Spain underlines the need for the dental profession to pay particular attention to the oral health needs of older patients. The aim of this study was to perform a preliminary assessment of the Geriatric Dentistry education programs in Spanish dental schools and highlight the models being employed for the geriatric training programs … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2015 · 13,232 accessesView PDF Cite
