Measuring The Energy Required To Dry Rice In Commercial Rice Dryers, Maria Alejandra Billiris 2013 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Measuring The Energy Required To Dry Rice In Commercial Rice Dryers, Maria Alejandra Billiris

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this research was to quantify and assess the energy use and efficiency of commercial cross-flow dryers when drying rice using a range of drying and ambient conditions. First, equations that predict the theoretical energy required to dry rice from any given initial moisture content to a desired final moisture content were developed for several rice cultivars using a semi-theoretical approach to obtain a basis for comparison to calculate energy efficiency. Theoretical energy requirements, expressed as the energy required per unit mass of water removed, increased exponentially as initial moisture content decreased. Additionally, medium-grains required more energy to …


Light Level Does Not Alter Ethylene Sensitivity In Radish Or Pea, Joseph F. Romagnano, Bruce Bugbee 2013 Utah State University

Light Level Does Not Alter Ethylene Sensitivity In Radish Or Pea, Joseph F. Romagnano, Bruce Bugbee

Plants, Soils, and Climate Faculty Publications

Ethylene accumulation occurs in many plant growth environments. In some instances, low photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) is also a stress factor. Ethylene helps regulate the shade-avoidance mechanism and synthesis rates can be altered by light. We thus hypothesized that ethylene sensitivity in whole plants may be altered in low light. Radish (Raphanus sativus) and pea (Pisum sativum) plants were selected as models due to their rapid growth, use in previous studies and difference in growth habit. We first characterized radish and pea sensitivity to ethylene. Radish vegetation was less sensitive to ethylene than pea vegetation. Pea reproductive yield was highly …


Effects Of Sow, Boar, And Semen Traits On Sow Reproduction, Sungwon Park 2013 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Effects Of Sow, Boar, And Semen Traits On Sow Reproduction, Sungwon Park

Department of Animal Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The objective was to estimate the effect of traits recorded in females and in boars and their semen on farrowing rate (FR), total number (TB) and number of stillborn pigs (SB) at birth. Results of 20,569 inseminations in 4,468 sows on 4 farms with semen from 856 boars in 2 AI centers were analyzed. Records on sows included farm, dline parity and brdeeding interval (Brdint). Records on boars included number of days rest between collections, and 26 characteristics (e.g., volume, sperm concentration, motility, abnormal heads and tails plus 16 traits that described velocity and path of sperm cell movement). At …

Assessing The Importance Of Sequencing Laboratory Welding Practicums, Malcolm Riley Rose 2013 Utah State University

Assessing The Importance Of Sequencing Laboratory Welding Practicums, Malcolm Riley Rose

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to determine if having fewer operator-controlled variables during welding will improve secondary students' ability to meet weld quality standards for an AWS 1F test. Two different welding processes, Gas Metal Arc Welding and Shielded Metal Arc welding, were used in the research. The population of this study (N = 71), participants were randomly assigned into one of four treatment groups. The study was conducted over six class periods. Participants completed a welding pretest, taught safety procedures followed by welding instruction of both GMAW and SMAW process. Practice sessions were given for each welding …

Local Food And Agriculture Awareness: The Literacy Of Local Produce And Agriculture In Northwest Arkansas, Kyle Colton Flynn 2013 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Local Food And Agriculture Awareness: The Literacy Of Local Produce And Agriculture In Northwest Arkansas, Kyle Colton Flynn

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that adolescents and children, both male and female, are failing to meet the daily fruit and vegetable consumption requirements (Kim et al., 2011; Upton et al., 2012; Harris et al., 2012). Other studies have shown that with increased exposure and availability of produce, students (K-5) tend to consume more fruits and vegetables (Cullen et al., 2009; Evans et al., 2012). The purpose of this study is to identify whether Northwest Arkansas eleventh grade high school students possess experience and knowledge of local produce and agriculture. Out of 1054 students enrolled at …


A Mixed Methods Case Study: Understanding The Experience Of Nebraska 4-H Participants Relative To Their Transition And Adaptation To College, Jill Walahoski 2013 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

A Mixed Methods Case Study: Understanding The Experience Of Nebraska 4-H Participants Relative To Their Transition And Adaptation To College, Jill Walahoski

Department of Educational Administration: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This mixed methods case study was designed to assess the preparedness of former Nebraska 4-H participants to successfully transition and adjust to college. The study also sought to understand the way that students’ experiences in Nebraska 4-H may have influenced their readiness to transition to college. The initial quantitative stage of this case study administered the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire to former 4-H participants who were recent high school graduates. Latter qualitative stages included interviews with staff regarding the practices and strategies they employed related to preparing young people for college and interviews with former 4-H participants selected from …
