Increasing drying air temperature from 25 to 60 C increased percent kernel stress cracks from 0-3% to 23-74%, respectively, depending on hybrid variety. For Stein breakage, the range at 25' C was 1-7% and at 600 C, 3-9%. The dry-milled grit yield was decreased for every corn hybrid by raising drying temperature from 25 to 600 C. Drying air temperature had little or no effect on any other physical or chemical characteristic studied, although these other properties did vary significantly with hybrid type. The importance of corn to the United States as an export commodity and as a domestic food and feed commodity is well documented. Corn that has been chipped, cracked, or physically or chemically changed may lose economic value. Corn hybrids have generally been developed to show increased field yields rather than quality as related to milling, storage, and shipping properties. One purpose of this study was to examine physical and chemical characteristics of some corn hybrids from various genotype parents. This work also related kernel breakage and stress...

...Again, I was tasked with improving my work. I consider myself a lifelong student, but I also considered myself an expert in my field and a seasoned professional. Although disappointed at the time, I found that when I humbled myself and got curious about how I could develop and enhance my work, I was able to refine, revise, and make the necessary improvements. This part of the experience was the most meaningful part of the process. I couldn’t help but equate the initial failure and accompanying feelings to those of some of my students who struggle to achieve and overcome obstacles on a daily basis. I was inspired by thoughts of grit and sticktoitiveness often displayed by students who persist despite intellectual and emotional...

Received: 18 December 2013; in revised form: 1 August 2014 / Accepted: 4 August 2014 / Published: 8 August 2014 Abstract: An innovative prototype sensor containing A36 carbon steel as a capacitor was explored to monitor early-stage corrosion. The sensor detected the changes of the surface- rather than the bulk- property and morphology of A36 during corrosion. Thus it was more sensitive than the conventional electrical resistance corrosion sensors. After being soaked in an aerated 0.2 M NaCl solution, the sensor’s normalized electrical resistance...

...Top of Form Introduction The utilization of resources and generation of waste is for beyond the limit that the biosphere was made to carry. Infact, man today is caught in the vicious circle of increasing wants, declining resources and increasing waste being generated by the industries and municipalities is posing a problem of enormous dimensions. The domestic and industrial effluents are contributing in enhancing this problem. It might become the biggest problem if it is not dealt with immediately . Industrial Waste The term industrial waste is generally understood to refer specifically to the liquid waste produced as a result of some industrial operation, as distinct from an industry’s solid refuse or its gases, fumes and vapors. Like municipal sanitary sewage, most of such liquids must ultimately be disposed of into rivers or other water courses. The liquid wastes of a community, whether domestic sewage or industrial wastes, should receive appropriate treatment before discharge into streams in order to prevent gross pollution. The treatment methods for domestic sewage are based on a fundamental and growing body of knowledge. These methods, however, are not suitable for industrial wastes, which are quite varied in character. Frequently anew industrial process development will produce a waste that is not amenable to treatment by any of the conventional methods. For such wastes, laboratory investigations followed by pilot-plant studies must precede final design of treatment...

...Steroids are one of the most controversial drugs known to the human race. These drugs are seemingly notorious for their ability to produce large amounts of muscle mass in an attempt to exploit ultimate power, performance, and dominance in a person. However, the negative effects of steroids tend to have a severe impact on the justification of the drug’s use in today’s society. When I say society, I am rather referring to a more predominant superior subculture, the professional athlete that can easily be held accountable for the cultivation and spread of steroids. This “high-class” group can denote the contrary of ethics; that is, revealing actions which tend to expose a sense of narcissistic personal qualities that hinder our beliefs of what is right and what is wrong. At one point or another, performance enhancing substances outspokenly seem to enter every professional athlete’s mind. The issue of steroids or any performance enhancing drugs in this matter has significantly heightened recently and seems to be a legitimate issue within professional sports. In an attempt to meet expectations and standards, reduce the pressures to perform, and alleviate public scrutiny, many professional athletes are left quivering in fear whether or not to take the two-faced drug that’s so readily adhered to by many. In my attempt to explore the mainstream issue of steroids in professional sports, I wish to focus on three imperative aspects that will help assist in the configuration...

Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA St. Joseph’s Translational Research Institute, Atlanta, GA, USA 3 University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA 2 ABSTRACT The surface properties of materials contribute to host cellular response and play a significant role in determining the overall success or failure of an implanted biomaterial. Rough titanium (Ti) surface microtopography and high surface free energy have been shown to enhance osteoblast maturation in vitro and increase bone formation in vivo. Whereas the surface properties of Ti are known to affect osteoblast response, host bone quality also plays a significant role in determining successful osseointegration. One factor affecting host bone quality is patient age. We examined both in vitro and in vivo whether response to Ti surface features was affected by animal age. Calvarial osteoblasts isolated from 1-, 3-, and 11-month-old rats all displayed a reduction in cell number and increases in alkaline phosphatase–specific activity and osteocalcin in response to increasing Ti surface microtopography...

...As a young boy William Henry Jackson had an urge to explore and document the great unknown. Capturing nature and its creatures in the raw and uncut wilderness in which they live was coded within his DNA. It was something no person or agency had to request, but a natural want and desire to do so. Jackson had traveled many times within the Yellowstone wilderness and other National Park regions before their creation, but never had he been a part of something whose direct intention was to explore and document the wilderness of the West. He would later go on to state that “if any work that I have done should have value beyond my own lifetime, I believe it will be the happy labors of the decade, 1869 – 1878” (Jackson 186). He would spend these fruitful years, through his camera and brush stroke, exposing the numerous hidden wonders of the West. Many of Jackson's efforts can be credited with the creation of our nation’s first National Park, Yellowstone in the Wyoming territory, as well as Yosemite National Park, Mesa Verde National Park Rocky Mountain National Park and the Grand Teton National Park. Jackson was the first pioneer to accurately photograph such wonders so realistic, helping unravel the mysteries associated with the West. In the last years of his life he would receive one of the most important commissions of his career (Jackson 234). Through perseverance, ingenuity, and the strength that only comes from a man on the frontier, Jackson laid the groundwork for one...

...Chapter I Introduction Being in college is the most difficult phase of education. College students have to finish a specific number of units in order to graduate. These units are based from the subjects of the student’s chosen program. A college student does not only have academics to deal with. There are lots of other aspects in life such as co- and extra-curricular activities, social life, family gatherings and personal interests and hobbies. A college student: may be an officer or a member of one or many organizations; may have many engagements outside school like events, workshops, lessons, parties, gatherings and other involvements or can have preoccupations being alone. A college student also has errands and minor tasks to do and he or she may also experience problems along the way or experience sudden turn of events and eventually, time is unexpectedly consumed and it is up to the student how he or she will handle his or her duties, responsibilities and keep up with maintaining his or her academic performance. Going through college requires maximum effort and time for it will reflect in their academic performance. Therefore, they should always be in the middle of managing their time and being conscientious in doing their tasks. Performing Arts or Theatre Arts students always have rehearsals for upcoming performances. Their major subjects usually include basic acting, advanced acting, movement, choreography, drama, directing, scriptwriting, improvisation, music, voice...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION We are what we eat! It's all very well claiming that you eat freshly-cooked meat and vegetables. But how is it cooked? Eating fried food, however recently it was picked, dug up, caught or slaughtered, isn't exactly the healthiest way of dining. Especially if was exposed to chemicals while it was growing, or being reared. Eating healthy is not just about having a salad in fact it is a field of a multi-disciplined culinary arts. The most important factor about a spa cuisine is that it focuses on your health, with a balanced diet on order to help you in the long term. A good diet will help you to be productive, and will enable you to deliver better results in any field of productivity, be it professional or personal. It’s not only the food we eat but it is the method of cooking that matters as well, over-cooking can destroy the nutrients therefore grilling, wok-cooking are good recommendations as far as cooking is concerned and of course microwave cooking is another way of cooking food without applying much fat or oil in it. Food that was exposed to chemicals while it was growing or being reared is not a choice for healthy food either. And in these days, when taking care of the outside of your body with innumerable spa treatments is so popular, doesn't it make sense to think more seriously. Many people are beginning to think so. And that's why there's an ever-increasing demand for Spa Cuisine. Spa cuisine is essentially taking...
