Biofuels supply chain characterization
… refining. We have also found that the main factor in reducing the overall production cost is the biomass to ethanol conversion factor. The development of new technologies to convert biomass into ethanol becomes a critical issue to achieve the cost targets imposed in order to make ethanol …

Tomosynthesis in pulmonary cystic fibrosis
… to design a scoring system for tomosynthesis. Conversion factors for paediatric chest tomosynthesis were determined by Monte Carlo simulations and used to estimate the effective dose from the registered dose-area-product from the patient examinations included in the study. The typical imaging …

Stereological Interpretation of Rock Fracture Traces on Borehole Walls and Other Cylindrical Surfaces
… studied. The analytical results show that the conversion factor between the three-dimension fracture intensity measure and the two-dimension intensity measure on borehole surface is not dependent on fracture size, shape or circular cylinder radius, but is related to the orientation of the …

Statistical Design And Imaging Of Position-Encoded 3D Microarrays
… using numerical examples. We replace the photon-conversion factor of the image sensor and its background noise variance with their maximum likelihood: ML) estimates. We estimate these parameters using images of multiple target-free microspheres embedded with QDs and placed randomly on a …

Quantitative analysis of 200 meter track times
… identifying potential performance-influencing factors on athletes can be made more easily. To come to these conclusions, 200-meter race times were normalized using seasonal athlete improvement factors and wind data to identify at which facilities athletes tended to run faster times and what …

Multi-tracer Study for Groundwater Dating in Southern Oman
… its detection with Argon Trap Trace Analysis, a conversion factor for volume estimation of small samples was determined and the pressure readout was automated by a Labview program. In addition to 39Ar, other dating tracers were applied, i.e. noble gases, 14C, CFCs and SF6. While radiogenic 4He …

A thermodynamic simulation model for storage of corn
… Maxwell, and geometric mean). Five phase conversion factors(0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0) were utilized to evaluate the five mixing models. Three laboratory storage bins, and eight grain sample columns were designed and constructed. Three experiments were conducted to enable the …

Feeding of Black Bullheads Ictalurus Melas (Rafinesque) in Experimental Cages
… Kg and were fed 1550.8 Kg of food, for a food conversion of 6.60. Fish in smaller cages gained 133.5 Kg and were fed 924.5 Kg of food with a resultant food conversion factor of 6.92. Over 75 percent of total gain occurred while water temperatures were between 23º and 24º C. More desirable food …

Aerosol Samplers Comparison: IOM Dual Sampler (Inhalable & Respirable) vs Conventional Methods for Assessing Welders Exposure to Manganese
… in this study and the results support the conversion factor of 1.0, which is for welding fume. Therefore, the IOM dual sampler can be used as an alternative method to conventional total particle sampler.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy using adjustable nanometer-gap electrodes
… of liquids and gases. Presently, the limiting factor for using EIS as a portable chemical detection technology is the lack of absolute accuracy stemming from uncertainties in the geometrical factor used to convert measurable quantities of capacitance and conductance into the intrinsic …

Development of a Fast X-ray Line Detector System for Two-Phase Flow Measurement
… has been carried out to optimize the detector conversion factor for each detector pixels. Finally, the data measured by the developed X-ray system are compared with the double-sensor conductivity probe and gas flow meter for sample bubbly flow and slug flow conditions. The results show …

A report on the testing of electric welds
… the method used in welding are but a few of the factors which determine the ultimate strength and behavior of an electrically welded specimen. Far from claiming the credit for a comprehensive report on electric welding, the authors of this thesis admit that it of necessity is limited in its …

Digestibility, Nitrogen Balance, and Blood Metabolites in Llama and Alpaca Fed Barley and Barley Alfalfa Forages.
… Using the standard CP to digestible protein (DP) conversion factor of 0.8, llamas required 0.60 digestible N/W0.75. When consuming the same high protein barley alfalfa diet, llamas had a much greater increase in N retention than alpacas. These species differences indicate that alpacas have a …
