Electrocution as an alternative euthanasia method to blunt force trauma to the head followed by exsanguination for non-viable piglets

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2020
Background On farms, the currently approved and most widely practised method of euthanising non-viable piglets is blunt force trauma to the head followed by exsanguination.

High‐Performance, Air‐Stable and Eco‐Friendly Terpene‐Processed Organic Solar Cells via Solvent‐Composition‐Controlled Film Formation Kinetics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solvent‐composition‐controlled film formation enables high‐performance (efficiency = 18.66%) and air‐stable terpene‐processed organic solar cells. An optimized eucalyptol/tetralin ratio of 50:50 (v/v) balances molecular solvation and aggregation kinetics, producing favorable nanoscale phase separation and vertical composition gradients.

Effectiveness of two methods for stunning pigs: electrical stunning head-heart and CO2 stunning

Revista de Investigaciones Veterinarias del Perú, 2017
Los objetivos de este estudio fueron evaluar y comparar la efectividad de los métodos de aturdimiento eléctrico de tres puntos (MA1) y de narcosis con dióxido de carbono (CO2) (MA2) , así como evaluar la infraestructura y manejo de los cerdos en dos plantas de sacrificio comercial de Colombia.

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Utilizing the Metastability of Spidroins as a Strategy for Improving Mechanical Properties of Biomimetic Spider Silk Fibers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...

Recent advances in electrical stunning

Poultry Science, 1999
This paper provides an overview of the electrical stunning systems and their implementation in modern-day broiler slaughter plants. The application of low voltage electrical stunning systems in the U.S. is reviewed and contrasted with European experiences within the context of differing slaughter technologies, practices, and regulatory constraints ...
