Most of the feed required for poultry production in
the Republic of Yemen is imported from Europe. Sometimes,
feed shipments arrive later due to lack of hard currencies
to pay for the feed or to pay the freight charges. Yemeni
broiler producers in such cases feed their birds a single...
This experiment is concerned with sampling submicrometer
particles in near sonic and supersonic flows.
The study employed a high volume condensation aerosol
generator to produce stearic acid particles having a
geometric mean diameter of 0.8 μm and a geometric
standard deviation of 1.28. The aerosol was diluted
with dry air...
Six experiments were carried out with Single Comb White Leghorn laying chickens to
assess the effect of feeding a source of direct-fed microbials (Lactobacillus; Lacto) and its
carrier [condensed cane molasses solubles (CCMS)] on the retentions of fat, nitrogen and
several minerals; on the status of the pH of the...
The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior exhibited
by β-lactoglobulin at silanized silicon surfaces of varying
hydrophobicity were examined using ellipsometry. Adsorption
equilibrium results were used to construct adsorption
isotherms; the adsorbed mass of β-lactoglobulin was observed
to increase with increasing surface hydrophobicity, within a
defined range of hydrophobicity. Adsorption kinetics...
Thermo-hygro-rheology of wood-adhesive systems plays an important role during the hot pressing process of wood based composites. The principal objective of this research is to quantitatively study the thermo-hygro rheological characteristics of wood-adhesive systems used in such composites. This is with a view to providing material characteristics which may be...
