Abstract:
As feed evaluation methods for ruminants move towards a more dynamic approach of assessing nutrient supply, in order to reflect the complex nature and microbial intervention in the digestion process in ruminant animals, it is becoming increasingly important to predict the rate, extent and site of digestion. Presently the main method for measuring feed degradation is the in situ polyester bag technique. However, it is now known that this method is not appropriate for starch rich feeds due to the loss of fine particles. An alternative approach is to measure the rumen fermentation kinetics using the gas production technique as this may also give a better estimate of energy available for microbial growth. An experiment was undertaken to study the influence of feed processing on the fermentation profiles of ruminant feeds using an automated gas production system.

Abstract:
Abstract Essential oils (EO) are defined as plant-derived natural bioactive compounds, which can have positive effects on animal growth and health due to their antimicrobial and antioxidative properties. However, EO are volatile, can evaporate quickly, and be rapidly absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Also, due to their labile nature, the stability of EO during feed processing is often questionable, leading to variations in the final concentration in feed. Encapsulation has become one of the most popular methods of stabilizing EO during feed processing, storage, and delivery into the lower gut. The objectives of the present study were to 1) evaluate the stability of thymol microencapsulated in combination with organic acids in commercially available lipid matrix microparticles during the feed pelleting process and storage; 2) validate and demonstrate the slow release of thymol from the lipid matrix microparticles in a simulated pig gastric fluid (SGF) and a simulated pig intestinal fluid (SIF); and 3) evaluate in vivo release of thymol from the lipid matrix microparticles along the pig gut. The results showed that thymol concentration was not significantly different in the mash and pelleted feeds (P > 0.05). In the in vitro study, 26.04% thymol was released in SGF, and the rest of the thymol was progressively released in SIF until completion, which was achieved by 24 h. The in vivo study showed that 15.5% of thymol was released in the stomach, and 41.85% of thymol was delivered in the mid-jejunum section. Only 2.21% of thymol was recovered in feces. In conclusion, the lipid matrix microparticles were able to maintain the stability of thymol during a feed pelleting process and storage and allow a slow and progressive intestinal release of thymol in weaned pigs.

Abstract:
The shortage of fish feed of domestic production is one of the limiting factors for increasing the volume of fish production. The article analyzes the effectiveness of the use of granulated-extruded feed “BIFFINE” (Russia) in comparison with the extruded feed of the wellknown foreign brand “COPPENS” (the Netherlands) in the cultivation of African clary catfish and a hybrid of tilapia in a closed water supply system. The analysis of fish-breeding and biological indicators, as well as the assessment of the physiological state of the raised fish, was carried out. Comparative analysis of hematological and biochemical parameters of blood serum did not reveal significant differences. The evaluation of the feeding efficiency revealed slightly higher indicators of tilapia growth (p<0.05) and some physiological and biochemical parameters of the blood of the fish group that consumed Russian feed. The results of the study of white blood cells in the blood of the tilapia hybrid showed that the composition of white blood cells is dominated by lymphocytes (80.0–90.0%), monocytes (3.5–5.0%), neutrophils (6.5–11.0%) and basophils (0.5– 1.3%); a significant increase in glucose levels was found, which indicates the activation of the process of digestion of the carbohydrate part of the diet. In juvenile clary catfish, the stimulation of protein and glucose biosynthesis was noted, which indicates the optimization of protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Thus, when feeding fish with feed from different manufacturers, no differences were found in the functional state of the cultivated fish species. The tested brands of mixed feeds have a high nutritional value, which was confirmed by the obtained data of fishbreeding and biological indicators. However, it should be borne in mind that the technology of making mixed feed “BIFFINE” has the following advantage-soft processing of feed components of animal origin with the preservation of the native properties of protein, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and other essential nutrients, and the destruction of starch during hard processing by temperature and pressure to easily digestible carbohydrates, is performed separately.

Abstract:
The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) originally designed for rendering graphics and which is difficult to program for other tasks, has since evolved into a device suitable for general-purpose computations. As a result graphics hardware has become progressively more attractive yielding unprecedented performance at a relatively low cost. Thus, it is the ideal candidate to accelerate a wide variety of data parallel tasks in many fields such as in Machine Learning (ML). As problems become more and more demanding, parallel implementations of learning algorithms are crucial for a useful application. In particular, the implementation of Neural Networks (NNs) in GPUs can significantly reduce the long training times during the learning process. In this paper we present a GPU parallel implementation of the Back-Propagation (BP) and Multiple Back-Propagation (MBP) algorithms, and describe the GPU kernels needed for this task. The results obtained on well-known benchmarks show faster training times and improved performances as compared to the implementation in traditional hardware, due to maximized floating-point throughput and memory bandwidth. Moreover, a preliminary GPU based Autonomous Training System (ATS) is developed which aims at automatically finding high-quality NNs-based solutions for a given problem.

Abstract:
Four processing methods, air drying, oven (mechanical) drying, fermentation and parboiling of chaya leaves, were evaluated for their effect on the chemical composition of the resulting dry leaves. They were evaluated further in terms of performance and some physiological parameters using 450 day-old cockerels. There were no significant (P>0.05) differences in chemical composition of the chaya leaf meal due to method of processing with the exception of the hydrogen cyanide content which were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the air dried and fermented meals. The feeding of diets incorporating 50g/kg feed of the variously processed chaya leaf meal did not significantly (P >0.05) affect final body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, water intake and mortality of chicks, as compared to a chaya-free (control) diet. Treatment differences in blood cellular elements of chicks were not significant (P >0.05). Histological observations on the liver of chaya-fed birds indicated no morphological or gross issue changes.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Grain Science and Industry<br>Cassandra K. Jones<br>A total of 7 experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of particle size and thermal processing on swine growth performance or to develop improved analytical methods for particle size prediction. First, 5 experiments utilized 596 nursery pigs to assess how corn particle size and pelleting affected nursery pig growth performance and feed preference. The improvements from reducing particle size were mixed among experiments, potentially because pigs preferred to consume more coarsely ground corn in both mash (P < 0.05; 79.3 vs. 20.7%) and pelleted diets (P < 0.05; 58.2 vs. 31.8%) diets. Pelleting diets led to a reduction in feed disappearance, which tended to improve feed efficiency in nursery pigs (P < 0.05; 0.61 vs. 0.64 for pigs fed mash vs. pelleted diets in Exp. 1). Next, a total of 270 finishing pigs were utilized to determine the effects of long-term conditioning or extrusion of low energy feedstuffs on finishing pig nutrient digestibility, growth performance and carcass characteristics. Treatments included the same basal diet processed as: 1) non-processed mash, 2) pelleted with 45 s conditioner retention time, 3) pelleted with 90 s conditioner retention time, or 4) extruded. Thermal processing, regardless of type, improved daily gain and feed efficiency (P < 0.05), but did not affect feed intake (P > 0.10). Extruded diets tended to improve feed efficiency compared to pelleted diets (P < 0.10). However, pigs fed thermally-processed diets had greater jowl iodine value compared to those fed mash diets (P < 0.05). Finally, 420 samples were used to determine the impact of top sieve size, grain type, technician, and flow agent on the ability of a 3-sieve analytical method to accurately predict the mean particle size determined by a standardized 12-sieve method. The experiment was a 3 × 2 × 2 × 3 factorial with 3 technicians, 2 sieve sizes (U.S. No. 12 vs. 16 sieve as the top sieve), 2 flow agent levels (0 vs. 0.5 g), and 3 grain types (corn, sorghum, or wheat). Linear regression was used to develop individual equations to predict the mean particle size for each of the 3-sieve methods compared to the standard 12-sieve method recognized as ASAE S319.4, and the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS was used to evaluate the impact of main effects and interactions on predication accuracy. All interactions were removed from the model due to insignificance (P > 0.10). Technician, screen size and flow agent did not affect (P > 0.10) the accuracy of the prediction equations. Grain was the only main effect of significance (P < 0.05), where the prediction equation overestimated the particle size of wheat by approximately 15 µm and underestimated the particle size of corn by approximately 12 µm. While statistically significant, these variations were deemed to be sufficiently accurate for the 3-sieve method, and that separate equations for each grain type were not warranted to retain the simplicity of the method. In summary, technician, sieve size, grain type, and the use of flow agent did not greatly affect the accuracy of the 3-sieve particle size analytical method, so the original method was concluded to be accurate and the preferred method.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Grain Science and Industry<br>Cassandra Jones<br>In two experiments, conditioning time and temperature of swine feed were altered to determine effects of starch, vitamin retention, and swine growth performance. A third experiment evaluated methodologies for estimating gelatinized starch in swine feed. Across all experiments, diet formulation was constant. In Exp. 1, treatments were arranged in a 2 × 3 factorial design plus a control, including 2 conditioning temperatures (77 vs. 88°C) and 3 conditioner retention times (15, 30, and 60 s). A mash diet was added for a total of 7 treatments. Total starch was affected by conditioning temperature (P = 0.04) but not time (P = 0.50). Similar results were observed for gelatinized starch (P = 0.005 and 0.65, respectively). Sample location also affected total starch (P = 0.0002) and gelatinized starch (P = 0.0001), with the greatest increase in gelatinization occurring between conditioned mash and hot pellets. Conditioning alone did not influence gelatinization as evidenced by similar values between cold and hot mash (P > 0.05). Neither conditioning temperature nor time affected vitamin concentrations (P > 0.50). A portion of these treatments were then fed to 180 nursery pigs (PIC 327 × 1050; initially 12.6kg) in an 18-d study. Treatments included: 1) non-processed mash (negative control); 2) pelleted diet conditioned for 30 s (positive control); 3) pelleted diet conditioned for 15 s and reground; 4) pelleted diet conditioned for 30 s and reground, and 5) pelleted diet conditioned for 60 s and reground. Observed growth performance differences appear to be due to feed form, not conditioning time. Average daily gain and G:F did not differ (P > 0.12) between treatments, but ADFI was decreased (P = 0.03) as expected for pigs fed the positive control pelleted diet compared to all other diets. There were no differences (P > 0.05) in any growth performance variables amongst the three conditioning temperatures. In Exp. 3, it was determined that the method developed by Mason et al. (1982) was the best indicator of gelatinization in livestock feed. In summary, feed form, but not conditioning time affected gelatinized starch and swine growth performance.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the style of a user interface (i.e., its look and feel) has an effect on the usability of a synchronous computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) environment for delivering Internet-based collaborative content. The problem motivating this study is that people who are located in different places need to be able to communicate with one another. One way to do this is by using complex computer tools that allow users to share information, documents, programs, etc. As an increasing number of business organizations require workers to use these types of complex communication tools, it is important to determine how users regard these types of tools and whether they are perceived to be useful. If a tool, or interface, is not perceived to be useful then it is often not used, or used ineffectively. As organizations strive to improve communication with and among users by providing more Internet-based collaborative environments, the users' experience in this form of delivery may be tied to a style of user interface look and feel that could negatively affect their overall acceptance and satisfaction of the collaborative environment. The significance of this study is that it applies the technology acceptance model (TAM) as a tool for evaluating style of user interface look and feel in a collaborative environment, and attempts to predict which factors of that model, perceived ease of use and/or perceived usefulness, could lead to better acceptance of collaborative tools within an organization.

Full text
Abstract:
Feeding of animal has become increasingly a big challenge for smallholder farmers in the dry season in most of Sahelian countries. Sheep has an important role in social and economical activity of smallholder farmers. Millet stover (MS) and groundnut haulms (GH) are the main crop residues used. Among concentrates, millet bran (MB) and wheat bran (WB) are mostly used by smallholder farmers in feeding animals. However, these crop residues and concentrates are used inadequately. MS is a poor quality roughage diet, legume residues such as GH and brans are rich in nutritive value. The general objective of this study was to develop a feeding technology transferable to smallholder farmers by supplementing MS with GH, MB and WB to increase the growth performance of sheep during the dry season. The first study evaluated the effect of chopping millet stover (Pennisetum glaucum L. R. Br.) in sheep feeding and the degradability in sacco of feeds. Two Holstein cows were used to determine the degradability in sacco of feeds. The potential dry matter degradability (g/kg) were 846, 809, 730, 410, 550 and 370 for millet bran (MB), wheat bran (WB), groundnut haulms (GH), millet stover, leaves plus sheath and stems of MS respectively. The potential nitrogen degradability (g/kg) of MB, WB and GH were 865, 908 and 817 respectively. The nitrogen content was 7.4, 15.1, 22.0 and 26.2 g/kg for MS, GH, millet bran and wheat bran respectively. The effects of chopping millet stover (MS) on dry matter intake in Oudah bicolor sheep were studied in Maradi, Niger. Four treatments were T0 (unchopped MS), T1 (MS chopped, 50 cm), T2 (MS chopped, 25 cm) and T3 (MS chopped, 10 cm). A randomized block design was applied on 36 sheep, implying 9 sheep per treatment (T0, T1, T2 and T3). The treatment T2 or 25 cm chopping size gave the best MS intake of 560 g/day. The second study evaluated the effects of supplementing millet stover (MS) with groundnut haulms (GH), millet bran (MB) and wheat bran (WB). These supplements can improve the feed value of MS and promote live weight gain of sheep in the dry season. The purpose of this study was to develop a feeding technology transferable to smallholder farmers by supplementing MS. The study was conducted in two successive phases. The phase 1 of 66 days, evaluated the effect of GH, MB and WB supplementations on MS intake and growth performance of sheep, the phase 2 of 14 days, assessed the effect of GH, MB and WB supplementations on intake and digestibility of MS. Six treatments were constituted, namely, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 formed by four levels of GH (0, 200, 400, 600g) and two others (600g GH + 100g MB) and (600g GH + 75 g WB) respectively. A randomized block design was applied on 36 Oudah bicolor sheep, implying 6 male lambs per treatment (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). The GH supplementation levels had a linear effect (P<0.001) on dry matter intake (DMI) of MS, cell wall and nitrogen. Millet stover intake (MSI) decreased significantly with increasing level of GH. However the total dry matter intake (TDMI) significantly increased with GH levels. MB increased (P<0.05) both TDMI, TOMI and nitrogen intake (NI), (P<0.001). WB increased MSI (P<0.05), TDMI and TOMI (P<0.01), NI (P<0.001) and cell wall intakes. GH supplementation had both a linear and quadratic effect on DM digestibility of MS, cell wall and nitrogen digestibility. GH had a linear and significant effect (P<0.001) on live weight gain (LWG) and efficiency. The maximum average daily gain (80.5 g/day) was obtained with treatment 6 followed by the treatment 5 (68 g/day). The animals of treatment 1 received MS stover alone and lost their weight (-19.13 g/day). It is concluded that groundnut haulms, millet bran and wheat bran had good nutritive value whereas millet stover had low nutritive value. The 25 cm chopping size was the one to propose to smallholder farmers. The supplementation of MS as the basal diet with GH and brans enhanced sheep production through improvements in digestibility and intakes of TDM, TOM, cell wall and nitrogen.

Abstract:
High feed costs and increasing demand for fishmeal have intensified the search for alternative protein sources which are needed to allow world aquaculture to continue expanding. A severely underused marine resource is processing wastes of various types of seafood, which are often disposed of at great cost. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate three different types of seafood processing wastes as potential feed ingredients for the red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus). The three processing wastes evaluated were heads and shells from Penaeid shrimp, and viscera and skeletal remains from filleted black drum (Pogonias cromis) and channel catfish (Ictaluras punctatus). These wastes were blended with soybean meal in a 40:60 ratio, dry extruded and dried to produce stable ingredients. All three byproduct meals produced had crude protein levels ranging from 45 to 50 percent. Two feeding trials were conducted to evaluate the different processing waste byproduct meals in comparison to menhaden fishmeal. A digestibility trial was conducted with sub-adult red drum which led to the computation of apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) for organic matter, protein, lipid and energy for each of the byproduct meals. Each byproduct meal had relatively high ADC values that were generally similar to those of menhaden fishmeal. A comparative growth trial with red drum was then conducted in which experimental diets were formulated with the three byproduct meals replacing menhaden fishmeal on an equal-digestible-protein basis at levels of 65 percent, 80 percent, or 95 percent. Juvenile red drum were fed the various diets for 8 weeks in a brackish (6 plus/minus 1 ppt) water recirculating system after which weight gain, survival, feed efficiency, as well as whole-body proximate composition and condition indices were measured. All three of the byproduct meals could replace up to 65 percent of the protein provided by fishmeal without adversely affecting performance of red drum. However, the shrimp byproduct consistently provided the highest performance values at 80 percent replacement. The catfish byproduct yielded the lowest fish performance at all levels. This study indicates that dry extrusion of seafood processing wastes can be used to replace a considerable amount of fishmeal in feeds for red drum.

Abstract:
Soybean is an important source of protein and amino acids for humans and livestock because of its well-balanced amino acid profile. This chapter outlines the strengths and weaknesses of soybean as a complete amino acid source as well as the relative importance of individual amino acids. Special attention is paid to the sulfur-containing amino acids, methionine and cysteine. Breeding and genetic engineering efforts are summarized to highlight previous accomplishments in amino acid improvement and potential avenues for future research. Agronomic properties and processing methods that affect amino acid levels in soybean food and feed are also explained. A brief introduction into current amino acid evaluation techniques is provided. By understanding the complexities of amino acids in soybean, protein quality for humans and livestock can be maximized.

In Anaerobic Digestion in Natural and Built Environments [Working Title]. IntechOpen, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.98321.

Abstract:
Globally, Anaerobic Digestion (AD) industry is booming and biogas, the most sustainable biofuel, produced via AD is in an exponential market growth curve. According to a November 2020 report from US Energy Information Administration (EIA), “25 large dairies and livestock operations in the United States produced a total of about 224 million kWh (or 0.2 billion kWh) of electricity from biogas”. However, the growth of AD and the cost-effective use of the generated biogas are hindered by the inconsistencies (composition, suspended solids, flow rate, etc.) of the incoming waste stream and the associated biogas quality (due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas). A pretreatment step prior to an AD unit can promote consistency in the incoming stream, minimize the suspended solids; and thereby insures the efficiency of AD. In this study, we evaluated the method of pretreatment of waste streams from three grain processing industries, where 1) we adjusted the pH of a stream corresponding to its isoelectric point (zero zeta-potential), 2) removed solids (and their corresponding COD) that precipitated, and 3) produced a consistent composition stream to feed the AD process. For grain processing industry, the precipitated solids can be returned to their process – thus integrating the pretreatment with the rest of the process. The pH pre-treatment should not add any additional cost to the plant since the pH of the waste streams from grain processing plant needs to be raised per plant permits prior to disposal. Our lab and pilot AD studies showed a positive effect of such pretreatment on these waste streams in terms of increased biogas production (11–60%) and COD removal (12–60%), and in some instances reduction in H2S content in biogas (8%). This study clearly demonstrated that such a pretreatment method is economical and is effective to improve AD performance on waste waters from grain processing industries.

Abstract:
Can the imaginary brains described in Chapter 1 have only representations of perceived patterns, objects, and events? Can hierarchical structures of neurons also represent feelings, beliefs, emotions, and other higher mental states? Creating feelings requires giving emotional perceptions, memories, plans, beliefs, and intentions. How can this be achieved? How are perceived objects and events using their significance for the fate of the conscious system? Do they meet the various needs of the system? In this chapter we show that to achieve this goal, to feel qualia and to create phenomenal awareness, it is necessary to embody the mind. Mental states, such as thoughts and desires, contain intentional content that can be described by referring to something that we expect or believe. Another category are sensory feelings that do not contain intentional content but instead have different qualitative properties like perceptions, impressions, and sensations. The authors indicate four main domains of cooperation between the body and the brain, so that the mind generated in the system has phenomenal consciousness. These domains are 1) The homeostatic system. The body or housing may contain sensors informing the brain about the internal conditions of the body. The signals from these sensors can complement the information coming from the external senses. 2) The motor system. The housing and body, together with the motor system, allow an individual to manipulate objects in the environment and its own body in the environment. The effects of these manipulations can broaden the experience and allow for their evaluation. 3) Participatory analysis. The body or housing can be used to predict, analyze, and plan activities by making calculations through a physical process. 4) The global states of the organism. Internal power supply parameters, information-processing speed, dynamics of operation, and sensitivity thresholds for internal and external sensors can affect performance, the results of evaluation of sensations, and the shape of neural representations. This assumption makes it possible to explain how the imaginary mind can feel subjective impressions, the qualia that are the basis of phenomenal consciousness. The bodily reactions to the sensory stimuli reaching the brain can give value to individual feelings, and emotions. Feeling hardness or smoothness, assessing the attractiveness of smells, judging the importance of sounds, and evaluating the favor of the environment based on images all go beyond the direct response of the senses. The entire brain is involved in the creation of a conscious mind, along with sensory processing, control of movements, memories, predictions, and all other brain structures. This is an emergent phenomenon that is not reflected in any part of the brain's apparatus. In this chapter, the authors explain to what extent we can be aware of our feelings, how far we can understand the world around us and our place in it, how we can consciously direct our thoughts, and how we can focus attention on something.

Abstract:
The main objective is to recognize the chat from social media as spoken language by using deep belief network (DBN). Currently, language classification is one of the main applications of natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and deep learning. Language classification is the process of ascertaining the information being presented in which natural language and recognizing a language from the audio sound. Presently, most language recognition systems are based on hidden Markov models and Gaussian mixture models that support both acoustic and sequential modeling. This chapter presents a DBN-based recognition system in three different languages, namely English, Hindi, and Tamil. The evaluation of languages is performed on the self built recorded database, which extracts the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients features from the speeches. These features are fed into the DBN with a back propagation learning algorithm for the recognition process. Accuracy of the recognition is efficient for the chosen languages and the system performance is assessed on three different languages.

Abstract:
The research was carried out in the field at the Central experimental base of the «Federal Williams Research Center» The object of research were 32 samples of bluegrass. Samples are sown according to the scheme of a standard collection nursery. All studies and observations were carried out on the herbage of the 4th year of life. Statistical processing of the research results revealed the average level of variation of signs. Several reliable correlation dependences have been revealed, which can be used as indirect signs in the evaluation and selection of promising breeding material. Multivariate analysis showed that in the bluegrass sample, there are 4 clusters (genetically heterogeneous groups), which can be used for selection on the combinational ability and consolidation of selection — valuable traits and properties. Samples of Kentucky (USA) and Balin (Germany) had the maximum superiority (distance), when paired comparison of Euclidean distances. The use of these samples with a high probability promises to obtain perspective breeding material.

Abstract:
Abstract Although there have been several studies on machining of semiconductor materials, most of them are concerned with abrasive finishing (such as chemical-mechanical polishing, mechanical polishing and lapping), and only a few have reported on optimizing rotary grinding conditions (such as the grinding wheel rotational speed, wafer rotational speed, wheel diameter, wafer diameter, and feed rate). In this study, to gain further insight, we define a dimensionless number and use it to evaluate our experimental results. This dimensionless number — called the “grain approach angle” — is the ratio of the grain running length of the machined wafer surface and the depth of cut due to grain during the grain running time. For this study, our evaluation coefficients are taken to be surface roughness, grinding force, and grinding ratio. We found it more suitable to use the grain approach angle rather than a previously defined dimensionless number (which was evaluated as the ratio of the wheel rotational speed to the wafer rotational speed). We also found that, by using the grain approach angle, trends in surface roughness exhibited invariant similarities under varying conditions.

Abstract:
This paper demonstrates the investigation carried out into the influence of ultrasonic servo feed drive technology, in electro discharge processing systems, industrial applications. The drive was mainly designed to replace the existing servo control drive using electromagnetic servo technology. This was aimed to improve the electro discharge servo control system stability, quality of the machined products surface profiles, and system dynamic time response. Evaluation has been undertaken to examine the developed servo control feed drive, in two industrial applications, electro discharge machining and electro discharge texturing. Two arrangements were used, in this investigation. The existing servo control feed drive system, which uses electromagnetic servo drive, and the developed system, which uses piezoelectric ultrasonic feed drive. The electro discharge processing parameters, including current level, the on-off time and the duty cycle of the machining pulse were the main processing parameters of this investigation. The electron microscopic micro examination into the machined and textured samples showed that: piezoelectric ultrasonic feed drive showed a clear improvement in the quality of surface finish of the machined samples, due to the fast dynamic time response of the developed drive. This was accompanied with a notable reduction in the arcing and short-circuiting teething phenomena. This was verified by assessing the electrode movements, the variations in the inter electrode gap voltage, current and feedback control signals.

Abstract:
Abstract It is expected that the vibration characteristics of NC machine tools are affected by the contact between the tool and the workpiece during the cutting operations. However, the influences of the contact have not been clarified up to now. In this study, a method to evaluate the contacting effect and evaluated results are described. Frequency response of a vertical type milling machine during cutting operation is evaluated in this study. The evaluation tests of the contacting effect are carried out with and without cutting operations. In order to clearly evaluate the influence of the contact between a tool edge and a workpiece, boring operations of 50 mm diameter are carried out. The frequency responses are measured by using feed motor torque. Impulse signal is applied to the motor torque command during the cutting operations to oscillate the machine tool, and the axial acceleration of the table is measured to obtain the frequency responses. The impulse signal can be applied by refereeing the spindle rotational angle to control the relationships between the cutting edge and workpiece surface. As the results of the evaluations, it is clarified that the proposed method can evaluate the influence of the contact adequately. The natural frequency slightly increases and the vibration amplitude decreases when the tool contacts with the workpiece, regardless of whether non-cutting or cutting. It has also been confirmed that the vibration amplitude of the frequency characteristics is changed due to the contact length and the relative direction of the cutting edge.

Abstract:
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS) High-Level Waste (HLW) Program is responsible for storage, treatment, and immobilization of HLW for disposal. The Salt Processing Program (SPP) is the salt (soluble) waste treatment portion of this effort. The overall SPP encompasses the selection, design, construction and operation of treatment technologies to prepare the salt waste feed material for the site’s Saltstone Facility and vitrification facility (Defense Waste Processing Facility). Major constituents that must be removed from the salt waste include actinides, strontium, cesium, and entrained sludge. In fiscal year (FY) 2002, research and development (R&amp;D) on the actinide and strontium removal and Caustic-Side Solvent Extraction (CSSX) processes transitioned from technology development for baseline process selection to providing input for conceptual design of the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF), a key component at the SRS SPP. This work included laboratory studies, bench-scale tests, and prototype equipment development. To implement the salt waste treatment technologies, DOE initiated a competitive procurement process to select Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractors for design of the SWPF. The Department awarded EPC contracts to Parsons Infrastructure &amp; Technology Group, Inc. and Foster Wheeler USA Corporation for preparation of conceptual designs (Phase I) for the SWPF. The two EPC contractors began conceptual design activities in September 2002 and are scheduled to complete this work in January 2004. After evaluation of the conceptual designs, DOE will down select one EPC contractor to continue with final design, construction, and hot commissioning (Phase II). Hot startup of the SWPF is targeted for December 2009.

Full text
Abstract:
The fate of transgenic DNA (tDNA) and protein from feed derived from Genetically Modified organisms (GMOs) in animals has been a major issue since their commercialization in 1996. Several studies have investigated the risks of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of tDNA and protein to bacteria or animal cells/tissues, but some of the reported data are controversial. Previous reports showed that tDNA fragments or proteins derived from GM plants could not be detected in tissues, fluids, or edible products from livestock. Other researchers have shown that there is a possibility of small fragments entering animal tissues, fluids and organs. This motivated us to update our knowledge about these concerns. Therefore, this review aimed to evaluate the probable transfer and accumulation of tDNA/proteins from transgenic feeds in animal samples (ruminant and non-ruminant) by evaluating the available experimental studies published scientifically. This study found that the tDNA/protein is not completely degraded during feed processing and digestion in Gastro-Intestinal Tract (GIT). In large ruminants (cattle), tDNA fragments/proteins were detected in GIT digesta, rumen fluid, and faeces. In small ruminants (goats), traces of tDNA/proteins were detected in GIT digesta, blood, milk, liver, kidney, heart and muscle. In pigs, they were detected in blood, spleen, liver, kidney, and GIT digesta. In poultry, traces were detected in blood, liver and GIT digesta but not in meat and eggs. Notwithstanding some studies that have shown transfer of tDNA/protein fragments in animal samples, we cannot rely on these few studies to give general evidence for transfer into tissues/fluids and organs of farm animals. However, this study clearly shows that transfer is possible. Therefore, intensive and authentic research should be conducted on GM plants before they are approved for commercial use, investigating issues such as the fate of tDNA or proteins and the effects of feeding GM feed to livestock.

Abstract:
Cement industry consumes high energy levels with 4GJ per ton produced in average, 30% of it being electric and 70% thermal [1]. Cogeneration in this type of processes is not widespread; for only a few efforts have been made worldwide to implement methods that take advantage of waste heat stream, given that these contain 36% of the thermal input energy required to produce electricity [2]. Furthermore the implementation of a power generation alternative to feed limestone’s calcinations process is suggested. This paper is focused on the evaluation of thermal energy recovery strategies through the implementation of cogeneration systems, enabling an increase in efficiency and profitability producing electricity in before and after-processes of the cement production process. This will be achieved using methods of computer analysis implementing the ASPEN HYSIS™ software to simulate the behavior of the systems taking the rotary kiln operating conditions as main input or output variables. For the implementation of the system two important steps furnace operation will be taken. First one, related to combustion, is performed to produce the energy required in limestone’s processing entering this system, at this point the commercial gas turbine is used, coupled to a generator subsequently taking the power of oxygen-rich flow at the exhaust which is at a high temperature allowing a post-combustion using an afterburner. Finally, a second stage is evaluated at the downstream of the kiln, where a flow of charged waste gases counts with enough energy to perform an additional phase of power generation using an organic Rakine cycle (ORC).
