The relationship among the lignite quality parameters has been investigated using a response method that is the logistic regression method. The analysis determines the effect of multiple predictor variables such as moisture, ash and sulphur presented simultaneously to predict membership of the two calorific value categories. By this way, a reliable binary response regression structure was constructed considering all the lignite fields in Turkey. Both the experiments on identifying the influential measurements and the measure of goodness of fit indicated that the overall model has a big capability to exhibit the relationship among the parameters of the Turkish lignite.展开更多

This paper presents a model considering codes as information source based on Shannon’s information theory. Using information entropy, it preserves the mathematical form and quantitatively measures the information amount of a symbol and a bit in the machine component classification coding system. It also gets the maximum value of information amount and the corresponding coding scheme when the category of symbols is fixed. Samples are given to show how to evaluate the information amount of component codes and how to optimize a coding system.展开更多

Exp. 1: The effect of cecal ligation on nitrogen utilization and excretion was investigated in chickens fed 5% to 14% protein diet. Irrespective of dietary protein level and different protein sources, the ligation of cecal decreased uric acid excretion and tended to increase nitrogen utilization and balance with the exception of urea-added 10% protein diet. Exp. 2: The effect of cecal ligation on nitrogen utilization and excretion was investigated in conventional and colostomized chickens fed a 5% protein diet or 5% protein diet plus urea. Total nitrogen excretion and uric acid excretion increased by colostomy were depressed by cecal ligation in chickens. Therefore, nitrogen utilization and balance decreased by colostomy were increased by cecal ligation. Urinary nitrogen excretion was significantly decreased by cecal ligation in colostomized chickens, but the cecal ligation did not change fecal nitrogen excretion in chickens fed either diet. Exp. 3: This experiment was carried out to examine the effects of removal of cecal contents on nitrogen utilization, balance and nitrogen excretion in cecally ligated chickens. Total nitrogen excretion was significantly decreased by washing out the cecal contents with saline or antibiotics. The cecal ligation and the removal of cecal contents significantly decreased uric acid excretion in the excreta. There was a highly inverse relationship between microbial counts in the ceca and an excretory amount of uric acid. Exp. 4: In order to examine effects of cecal ligation on microbial activity, microbes were counted and products of microbial fermentation were determined. The ligation of caeca decreased microbial counts, concentrations of acetic, propionic and butyric acids and ammonia concentration of cecal contents. These results suggest that nitrogen metabolism in chickens is affected by possible changes in cecal fermentation caused by preventing the substances from urine and digesta from entering into the ceca.展开更多

Standard methods for DEM creation use only intentionally acquired data sources. Two approaches which employ various types of data sets for DEM production are proposed: (1) Method of weighted sum of different data sources with morphological enhancement that conflates any additional data sources to principal DEM, and (2) DEM updating methods of modeling absolute and relative temporal changes, considering landslides, earthquakes, quarries, watererosion, building and highway constructions, etc. Spatial modeling of environmental variables concerning both approaches for (a) quality control of data sources, considering regions, (b) pre-processing of data sources, and (c) processing of the final DEM, have been applied. The variables are called rate of karst, morphologic roughness (modeled from slope, profile curvature and elevation), characteristic features, rate of forestation, hydrological network, and rate of urbanization. Only the variables evidenced as significant were used in spatial modeling to generate homogeneous regions in spatial modeling a-c. The production process uses different regions to define high quality conflation of data sources to the final DEM. The methodology had been confirmed by case studies. The result is an overall high quality DEM with various well-known parameters.展开更多
