Optimization Of Plant Based Diets For Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
(2014-07-24)
Supplies of marine ingredients are finite and their prices are high, fluctuating and the price is expected to continue to rise. The aquaculture industry has long recognized that the viable utilization of plant feedstuffs ...
Optimization of Sediment Basin Configurations
(2023-08-14)
Highway construction projects typically involve the disturbance of existing on-site vegetation, leaving bare soil vulnerable to erosion from environmental factors such as rainfall and wind. Soil erosion caused by precipitation ...
Optimization of Split Keyboard Design for Touchscreen Devices
(2018-04-27)
While many large touchscreen devices have a split keyboard option to enable two-thumb typing, there are significant differences in the design which affect users’ text entry rate. A mixed integer-programming model is developed ...
Optimization of Standard Depth Control Systems to Improve Row-Crop Planter Performance in the Southeast US.
(2016-12-20)
Modern row-crop planters are designed to place individual seeds in the ground at a proper and predetermined depth to promote immediate germination and uniform emergence of seedlings. Seeding depth is manually adjusted by ...
Optimization of stem cell extraction from blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) to produce alloxenogenic catfish: Effects of body size, sex steroids, and seasonality
(2020-04-20)
Xenogenesis has been identified as an innovative technology for hybrid catfish (♀ channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus × ♂ blue catfish, I.furcatus) embryo production. Currently, donor cells are collected from randomly ...
Optimized Nonlinear Substrate Integrated Waveguide for Pulse Compression
(2013-04-15)
The time compression and associated frequency broadening of electromagnetic pulses has numerous applications in communication and radar systems. In this work, a new type of pulse compression device based on nonlinear ...
Optimizing a Standard Sampling Program to Evaluate Fish Community Structure for Non-wadeable Rivers in Alabama
(2017-08-03)
Alabama’s non-wadeable rivers support exceptionally high biodiversity of fishes but no formal sampling program has been developed to monitor the fish community in these systems. Recent developments in Alabama have caused ...
Optimizing and Scheduling of a Pooled Log Transport System
(2009-07-15)
The log truck scheduling problem (LTSP) under capacity constraints and time window constraints which is an NP-hard problem, involves the design of a set of best possible routes for a set of trucks starting and ending the ...
Optimizing Beekeepers’ Strategies for Varroa destructor Management
(2024-05-01)
We benefit from a longstanding relationship with the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera. In particular, honey bee pollination is important for crops worldwide. Colony losses are elevated in regions including North America, ...
