Firm size and its impact on continuous improvement
Building on a volume of previous work on continuous improvement (CI) in the supply chain based on the continuous improvement in manufacturing activity (CIMA) model, this paper extends earlier work by examining the influences of firm size CI. Findings of this study provide support for earlier studies, which held that firm size generally has little influence on CI innovation activity. However, ...

Determination of Clay Size Fraction of Marine Clays
This technical note describes a study on the effect of different dispersing agents and the quantity of same on the grain-size distribution and in particular the percentage of clay size. The results confirm that the existing practice of using 100 mL of standard dispersing agent, viz. sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium carbonate solution, is suitable for marine clays also. The clay size fraction ...

Hopper charging with spherical particles including rolling resistance mechanism - Case Study
Project Description Evaluate the feasibility of using the distinct‐ element modeling to study the flow and segregation of frictional particles without cohesion. Simulate an experimental test corresponding to the charge/discharge of a scale model batch hopper. Analyze the segregation observed in the hopper after its charge. OFFICE France Itasca Consultants S.A.S. ...

Japanese sake-brewing rice cultivars show high levels of globulin-like protein and a chloroplast stromal HSP70
White-core is an important trait in the selection of rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) for sake (Japanese rice wine) production. The present study was conducted to find differences between the endosperm protein pattern of white-core–bearing sake-brewing cultivars and those of normal rice grains. Protein patterns of white-core sake-brewing grains were compared with those of normal cultivars by ...

Adaptation of cool-season grain legume species across climatically-contrasting environments of Southern Europe
Information on most-adapted species is required to increase the economic sustainability and the utilization of cool-season feed legumes in southern Europe. This study aimed to compare pea (Pisum sativum L.), faba bean (Vicia faba L.), narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.), and white lupin (L. albus L.) across Italian environments which contrasted for geoclimatic area (subcontinental or ...

Multi-residue mycotoxin analysis of dry distillers grains
Distillers grains (DG) are the still residues after the ethanol has been collected. Approximately 90% of US production is used in domestic animal feed. Any Mycotoxins present in the fresh corn can be concentrated by a factor of three. Contamination can also occur during storage. This raises concern about the potential animal and human health hazards from the use of Mycotoxincontaminated ...
