The economic viability of future large-scale airborne wind energy systems critically hinges on the achievable power output in a given wind environment and the system costs.This work presents a fast model for estimating the net power output of fixed-wing ground-generation airborne wind energy systems in the conceptual design phase.In this quasi-stea
ABSTRACT: This trial was performed to determine the dietary digestible threonine-to-lysine (dig.Thr-to-Lys) ideal ratio for laying hens fed with low-protein diets from 24 to 40 weeks of age.At 24 weeks of age, two hundred forty Hy Line Custom Cushion W-36 laying hens were randomly assigned to five treatments, represented by five dig Thr-to-Lys rati
Bacterial brown spot (BBS) caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv.syringae (Pss), common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.phaseoli (Xap) and Xanthomonas fuscans subsp.fuscans (Xff), and halo bacterial blight (HBB), caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv.phaseolicola (Psph), are major bacterial diseases that severely affect common be
An extensive fossil forest discovered in 2010 on private property in central Colorado, USA, has not previously been described in scientific literature.Horizontal partial logs originated as fluvially transported driftwood.A preliminary study of petrified wood specimens reveals evidence of a complex mineralization sequence that involved multiple epis
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid that is widely used as an analgesic for alleviating pain of moderate to medium intensity.With potency estimated to be about one-tenth that of morphine, tramadol is considered as relatively safe with regard to poisonings or dependency.Yet there are increasing reports of widespread non-medical consumption of tramadol in
