Farm factors associated with increased free fatty acids in bulk tank milk by Hannah M. Woodhouse, Stephen J. LeBlanc, Trevor J. DeVries, Karen J. Hand, David F. Kelton

“…The absence of pre-cooling was also associated with higher FFA levels (β = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.3). The final model adjusted R2 of 29% indicates that more factors associated with bulk tank milk FFA still need to be identified, which may include seasonal, milk composition, and individual cow factors.…”

螺旋桨轴毂复合联接结构接触问题的非线性有限元分析及结构尺寸优化 by 孙骅, 李文静

“…According to the characteristics of aero product,the industry product must be as simple and light as possible under the premise of ensuring the load performance.By using the finite element analysis software ANSYS,a nonlinear contact model about a new type of composite shaft-hub connection structure of propeller is established.Based on the model,a optimization about the elastic ring,part of the shaft-hub connection structure,which defines the semi-cone angle and the width of the elastic ring as the design variables,the stress of the elastic ring as the state variable is carried out.The optimization results provide a theoretical basis of designing a composite shaft-hub connection structure which meets the requirement of aero product.…”
