Samenvatting:Handbook of Industrial Mixing will explain the difference and uses of avariety of mixers including gear mixers, top entry mixers, side entrymixers, bottom entry mixers, on-line mixers, and submerged mixers TheHandbook discusses the trade-offs among various mixers, concentrating onwhich might be considered for a particular process. Handbook ofIndustrial Mixing explains industrial mixers in a clear concise manner,and also:* Contains a CD-ROM with video clips showing different type of mixers inaction and a overview of their uses.* Gives practical insights by the top professional in the field.* Details applications in key industries.* Provides the professional with information he did receive in school

The effects of differences in weaning age on agonistic interactions between pigs after regrouping were investigated, studying 47 piglets from six litters weaned either between 9 and 12 days of age (EW, n = 24) or between 21 and 23 days of age (CW, n = 23). At 9 weeks of age, both EW and CW animals were regrouped into four pens based on their weight (six EW, six CW/pen) and all agonistic interactions within EW pairs and within CW pairs were monitored until 3 days post-mixing. Results indicate that EW animals fought longer than CW pigs on day 1, while no effect of weaning age was found on subsequent days. Furthermore, whereas no significant effects of weaning age were found on the outcome of fights, on day 1, the number of fights not won by the initiator was greater for EW pigs. It is concluded that early weaning of piglets leads to a short-lasting increase in aggression after mixing. Possible mechanisms are discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

One hundred and twenty-eight pigs were reared in barren or enriched environments from birth to slaughter at 21 weeks of age. Pigs remained as litter-mate groups until 8 weeks of age when they were mixed into groups of eight animals. These groups were balanced for gender and weight and contained two pigs from each of four different litters. Each pig was assigned high or low social status on the basis of relative success in aggressive interactions at mixing. Injury levels were assessed on a weekly basis from 8 to 2 1 weeks of age. Pigs were exposed to two group food competition tests after a period of food restriction at 10 weeks of age, and to an individual novel pen test at 11 weeks of age. Behavioural and plasma cortisol responses to both types of test were recorded. Low social status was associated with increased injuries to the head, neck and ears, and therefore reduced welfare. Pigs with low social status showed reduced resource-holding ability in the food competition test, and greater avoidance of a novel object during the novel pen test. It is suggested that avoidance of the novel object reflected 'learned' fearfulness in these individuals. Environmental enrichment did not negate the effect of low social status on injury levels, but did appear to reduce the negative influence of low social status on stress during food restriction, and led to a reduction in fearfulness in response to the novel pen test. These results suggest that environmental enrichment may improve the we/fare of growing pigs with low social status

"Becoming Old Stock sheds light on the way German Americans used race, American nationalism, and mass culture to fashion new identities in place of ethnic ones. It is also an important contribution to the growing literature on racial identity among European Americans. In tracing the fate of one of America's largest ethnic groups, Becoming Old Stock challenges historians to rethink the phenomenon of ethnic assimilation and to explore its complex relationship to American pluralism."--Jacket. "Using quantitative methods, oral history, and a cultural analysis of written sources, the book explores how, by the 1920s, many middle-class and Lutheran residents had redefined themselves in "old-stock" terms - as "American" in opposition to southeastern European "new immigrants." It also examines working-class and Catholic Germans, who came to share a common identity with other European immigrants, but not with newly arrived black Southerners." "More Americans trace their ancestry to Germany than to any other country. Arguably, German Americans form America's largest ethnic group. Yet they have a remarkably low profile today, reflecting a dramatic, twentieth-century retreat from German-American identity. In this age of multiculturalism, why have German Americans gone into ethnic eclipse - and where have they ended up? Becoming Old Stock represents the first in-depth exploration of that question. The book describes how German Philadelphians reinvented themselves in the early twentieth century, especially after World War I brought a nationwide anti-German backlash."
