The majority of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is the leading cause of disability globally, ahead of 290 other conditions1. Over one million people in the United States receive spine surgery annually2. This thesis looked at five standard surgical procedures performed on...
Tins paper addresses the importance of different product farms and their origin when considering the market structure in the European salmon market. The competition between Farmed Atlantic salmon and wild-caught pacific salmon has received some attention previously. However, this was before frozen Atlantic salmon emerged as an important product form...
Two digestibility trials using sheep were conducted to determine
the digestibility coefficients of a commercially processed NaOH treated
annual ryegrass straw cube. Comparisons were made with loose, chopped
ryegrass straw and a ryegrass straw cube processed with molasses as a
binder.
The NaOH cubed straw was produced by spraying a...
Measurements have been made of γ -γ directional correlations on the
following cascades, following the decay of ¹¹¹Pd and ¹⁰⁹Pd :
In ¹¹¹Ag : (454, 633, 762 - 391) keV (526, 797 -633) keV
(526, 797 -[633] -391) keV
In ¹⁰⁹Ag : (390, 413, 424, 551, 558 - 311) keV...
A simple package of routines that can be easily implemented
in small minicomputers used in process control, was developed to
simulate dynamic systems and computer control of simple dynamic
systems found in the process industries.
Two different systems, a gas absorber and a fifth-order
transfer function were chosen as processes...
Cellooligosaccharides are the reaction intermediates produced during the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose. Hence, they have the same chemical structure as cellulose, just shorter chain lengths. Cellooligosaccharides up to DP eight are soluble in water. The soluble cellooligosaccharides can be used "as is" in the food industry as non-digestible oligosaccharides...
The paper analyses the annual accounts for the period 1990-94 of a sample of approximately 100 fishing firms operating out of ports in Schleywig-Holstein and exploiting finfish stocks in the North Sea and Baltic, and shrimp stocks in the North Sea. Detailed information is provided on costs and returns by...
Research on chemicals used as pesticides has been intensified
because of current interest in the possible long range effects on the
biota. It is vitally important to understand the action of these
chemicals on the metabolism of animals and plants which have
direct or indirect contact with pesticides.
It has...
The contributions of Korean immigrant-owned fashion companies (KIOFCs) are increasing in the U.S. fashion industry. This study explored more deeply how KIOFCs can obtain competitiveness in the fiercely competitive fashion market. Specifically, this study 1) described the prominent characteristics of KIOFCs in the Los Angeles area, 2) investigated the multidimensional...
