A concern in the contemporary period is to find balance in the world's ever-increasing demand and its severely constricted output given by the present energy crisis brought on by the post-pandemic and ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. One of the most fundamental human needs is met by the production of textiles. Spinning is the first step in the production of textiles, where the ring frame machine is essential for creating yarn. In this study, a few process parameters were altered in a ring frame machine to boost production while saving time and ensuring financial feasibility. Comparative analysis was performed based on financial aspects as well as quality concerns like yarn count variation, Count Strength Product (CSP), and end yarn breakage rate. The increased machine speed of the spinning ring frame consumes higher energy but yields higher productivity without compromising quality parameters. The findings enable the spinning industry's decision-makers to understand better how process parameters change when machine speed varies, as well as offer policymakers a clear picture of the correlation between energy consumption and profitability. The machine produces roughly 420 kg/day consuming 567 kWh of energy at 14000 rpm, with 2.57% breakages/100 spindles/hour of 18.48 tex count variation and CSP of 1320. However, the production and energy usage of a machine at 15000 rpm, is approximately 449 kg and 630.44 kWh/day. Respectively, with breakages 3.06%/100 spindles/hour of count variation 18.62 tex and CSP of 1325. A potential increase in profit of 112.58 USD/machine/day, or 9682 BDT resulted from the increase in machine speed.
Background and Aim: Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that is responsible for the major cause of congenital diseases, abortion, and stillbirth in humans and farm animals. Primary infection in pregnant goats due to T. gondii leads to abortion and significant economic losses in the livestock industry. Moreover, very few studies have been performed for the identification of T. gondii from aborted fetuses of goats. The study was conducted for the molecular identification of Toxoplasma gondii from aborted fetuses of goats in Chattogram, Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: Twenty aborted fetuses of goats were collected from 52 farms in the study area. A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting the B1 gene was performed, and a positive sample yield of 197 bp amplified DNA products consistent with T. gondii. Results: The overall prevalence of toxoplasmosis in the aborted fetus of goats was 35.0%. Heart muscle, liver, brain, and placenta showed positive PCR results. The risk factors related to the does age, presence of cats in farms, and aborted fetus age were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Our results showed that T. gondii is a major possible causal factor for abortion and reproductive failure in goats. The high prevalence of T. gondii infection in aborted fetuses of goats revealed that T. gondii could be imperative in causing reproductive failure in goats. Conclusion: Active or congenital toxoplasmosis was shown by the presence of T. gondii in fetal tissues, which is a matter of concern as this parasite has zoonotic significance and causes economic hazards to the livestock industry by causing various reproductive problems. Therefore, proper control measures and strategies are needed to reduce the rate of abortion in goats, ultimately saving the livestock industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
