Modern technology provides a quick and accurate method for grading hogs at federally inspected plants : An electronic probe is inserted between the third and fourth ribs on the left side of the carcass. The needle has a sensor light on the end. As the needle is withdrawn from the probe site, it measures meat thickness and fat levels. These measurements are fed into a computer, which generates a yield class estimating percentage of lean meat.

cokes: The standard grades of hot-dipped tinplates, that carry about 0.56 kg of tin per basis box (i.e. lighter coating than the charcoal grades), that consist of mild-steel coated with tin, and that are used for packaging, canning and general purposes.

CONT

Various grades of hot-dipped tin plate were produced, the terminology indicating in a general way the weight of tin coating or, more exactly, the amount of tin used to produce the given unit or base box of plate. Coke tin plate has always designated the plate produced with the lowest amount of tin and formerly was called Cokes or Common Cokes. In ascending weight of coating, the various grades were Common Cokes, Standard Cokes, Best Cokes, and Kanners Special. Charcoal tin plate carries still heavier coatings including 1A and 2A.

CONT

Terms, charcoal plate and coke plate, which in last century described quality of iron used as a base metal, have now come to be applied to tin plate of certain coating thickness.

Except in situations where a high level of grazing management is already being practiced, any increase in the degree of grazing control will improve forage utilization as it is sold off the farm as livestock product. The effective and profitable utilization of grazed forage depends primarily on the degree to which the manager is able and/or willing to exercise control in determining when, where, and for how long animals graze.

Grain processing : the type of grain and processing method can have a significant impact on the site and extent of starch digestion of a particular diet and resulting milk component composition and yield. Generally, ground, rolled, heated, steam fladed or pelletized grain increases starch digestibilities and propionic acid production in the rumen. Steam flaked corn or sorghum compared to steam rolled corn or dry rolled corn or sorghum consistently improves milk production and milk protein yield. In six comparisons, steam flaked corn increased milk protein percentage and yield and decreased milk fat percentage compared to steam rolled corn. Milk fat yield remained unchanged in these trials.

Selon les chiffres du Conseil national de recherches du Canada, le maïs floconné offre environ 10% de plus d'énergie que le maïs cassé. Dans une étude récente de la Pennsylvania State University, des vaches grandes productrices en transition ont reçu des rations contenant soit du maïs en flocons, soit du maïs cassé durant une période s'étalant de trois semaines avant le vêlage, jusqu'au 63e jour de lactation. La production de lait de 305 jours de la lactation précédente affichait en moyenne 12 685 kg de lait, 432 kg de gras et 388 kg de protéine. Les vaches nourries d'une ration totale mélangée contenant le maïs floconné à la vapeur ont produit plus de lait que celles qui ont consommé le maïs cassé. Elles ont aussi continué à produire plus de lait après 63 jours, ce qui suggère que la ration aurait un effet résiduel sur la production laitière.

Cette fonction est remplie par une diversité d'organismes dont les plus actifs sont les bactéries, les champignons et les actinomycètes.

Coating weights : Pure tin coating on a hot-dip tin plate is mechanically distributed over sheet surface by tinning rolls. Due to nature of this tinning operation and elevated temperature of metal it is not possible to control, within close limits, tin coating weight. For these and other reasons, coating is measured and described by "tin pot yield" method. Total weight(in pounds) of tin consumed in manufacture of one base box, is pot yield. Terms, charcoal plate and coke plate, which in last century described quality of iron used as a base metal, have now come to be applied to tin plate of certain coating thickness. Amount of coating on coke plates is generally between 1. 24 and 2. 5 pounds per base box-on charcoal plates between 3 pounds and 5 pounds per base box. For roofing applications, heavier charcoal weight coatings have always been preferred. Common cokes, 1. 25 lb/base box. Standard cokes, 1. 50 lb/base box; Best cokes, 1. 70 lb/base box. "Kanners" special cokes, 2. 0 lb/base box.... Weight of coating on an electrolytic plate is a measurement of amount of coating on both sides of sheet, expressed in grams per square meter. Prior to adoption of this system, a "pot yield" method was used. The coating designation numbers are a hold over from this earlier system.

  • Pulp Preparation (papermaking)
OBS

Because of significant advantages, the kraft process has become established as the world's dominant pulping method. Nonetheless, the process also has some severe shortcomings, principally the low yield from wood, the comparatively high residual lignin content of bleachable grades, and the malodors caused by reduced sulfur compounds.... Most of the earlier modifications were aimed at increased retention of carbohydrates by stabilizing the end groups of the cellulose and hemicellulose polymer chains against "peeling reactions". These reactions cause dissolution of the end groups one unit at a time and consume a significant portion of the cooking chemical.

  • Préparation de la pâte à papier
OBS

La place prédominante qu'occupe le procédé kraft parmi les méthodes de mise en pâte utilisées dans le monde témoigne bien du nombre d'avantages marqués qu'il offre. Le procédé comporte néanmoins de graves inconvénients dont les principaux sont un faible rendement du bois et les mauvaises odeurs causées par les composés de soufre réduits. (...) La plupart des modifications proposées visent l'obtention d'une meilleure rétention des hydrates de carbone par une stabilisation des monomères de bouts de chaîne des polymères de la cellulose et des hémicelluloses afin d'éviter leur départ. Cette réaction qui consiste en une dissolution successive des monomères de bouts de chaîne consomme une part importante du réactif de cuisson.

Subject field(s)
  • Silviculture
DEF

Productive forest land stocked with trees of merchantable species. These trees by number and distribution or by average dbh, basal area, or volume are such that at rotation age they will produce a timber stand that occupies the potentially productive ground. They will provide a merchantable timber yield according to the potential of the land. The stocking, number of trees, and distribution required to achieve this will be determined from regional or local yield tables or by some other appropriate method.

  • Sylviculture
DEF

Se dit d'un terrain forestier productif composé d'arbres marchands. Ces arbres, par leur nombre et leur distribution, ou le diamètre moyen à hauteur de poitrine, la surface terrière ou le volume, sont tels qu'à l'âge de rotation il produisent un peuplement forestier qui recouvre le terrain potentiellement productif. Le rendement sera fonction du potentiel du site. La densité relative, le nombre d'arbres et la distribution seront déterminés à l'aide de tables de rendement locales ou régionales ou d'autres méthodes appropriées.

Split Equity Contract similar to the en viager method used in France, involves the actual sale of the property by the homeowner. There is no mortgage. The homeowner retains the right to rent-free occupancy for a specified number of years or life. The purchase price would be determined by the expected future value of the property discounted by its rent-free use, interest, and the specific or expected time lapse before actual possession. This could be a life mortality consideration. The proceeds of the sale could be invested to yield income or, alternatively, used to buy a Life Annuity from an insurance company.

The direction of the [induced magnetic] field [of buried conducting bodies] is most generally measured by the dip-angle method(...). The source loop is in the vertical plane, and the receiving loop is linked to an inclinometer which is used to measure the angle with the horizontal of the plane in which it lies when the voltage induced in it is a maximum.(...) Dip angle measurements when properly interpreted can yield information on horizontal location, strike, dip, length and conductivity of a buried conducting sheet.
