Mixing Behavior of Natural Gas and Hydrogen in a High‐Efficiency Vane (HEV) Static Mixer

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Static mixers play a crucial role in the safe transport of hydrogen‐blended natural gas. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed to investigate the effects of structural parameters of the HEV static mixer on the mixing behavior and homogeneity of natural gas and hydrogen. The modeling approach was well validated against experimental data.

Alternative farrowing systems: design criteria for farrowing systems based on the biological needs of sows and piglets [PDF]

, 2010
The construction of a suitable farrowing environment is a continuing dilemma: the piglet's needs must be matched with those of the sow and the farmer during the main phases that constitute farrowing: nest building, parturition and lactation. Difficulties

A decade of pig genome sequencing: a window on pig domestication and evolution [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2016
Insight into how genomes change and adapt due to selection addresses key questions in evolutionary biology and in domestication of animals and plants by humans. In that regard, the pig and its close relatives found in Africa and Eurasia represent an excellent group of species that enables studies of the effect of both natural and human-mediated ...

A spatiotemporal single‐cell atlas of porcine development reveals regulatory dynamics and cellular targets of domestication

iMeta, EarlyView.
This study presents a cross‐tissue, single‐cell/single‐nucleus transcriptomic atlas spanning from prenatal to postnatal developmental stages in pig, characterizing 83 distinct cell types from 252,033 cells. Through the construction of cross‐tissue transcriptional regulatory networks and pseudotime trajectories, we revealed that organogenesis is driven ...

Pig Pluripotent Stem Cells as a Candidate for Biomedical Application

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2019
Stem cells are progenitor cells that are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into various cells. Especially, pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have in vivo and in vitro differentiation capacity into three germ layers and can proliferate infinitely ...

Meiotic Studies in Infertile Domestic Pig-Babirusa Hybrids

, 2010
Mating of a babirusa <i>(Babyrousa babyrussa)</i> boar and a domestic sow <i>(Sus scrofa)</i> resulted in the birth of 5 live domestic pig-babirusa hybrid piglets.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Macroscopic, Histological and Ultrastructural Features of the Tongue of the Anatolian Wild Boar (Sus scrofa libycus)

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
Integrated macroscopic, histological, and ultrastructural analyses revealed five distinct lingual papillae types (filiform, fungiform, conical, foliate, and vallate) in the Anatolian wild boar (Sus scrofa libycus). Mechanical papillae showed marked structural specialization, while gustatory papillae exhibited region‐specific distribution of taste buds.

The Antebellum U.S. Iron Industry: Domestic Production and Foreign Competition [PDF]

This paper presents new annual estimates of U.S. production of pig iron and imports of pig iron products dating back to 1827. These estimates are used to assess the vulnerability of the antebellum iron industry to foreign competition and the role of the ...
