The main activity of the drying industry is the artificial drying of lucerne crop or grass crop into bales or broks. The dried product/crop is then processed into horse feed, poultry roughage and / or fodder feed.
Our drying room has two dry turning installations. Both drying plants together have an evaporation capacity of more than 90,000 liters of water per hour. The chopped crop is dried in a tumble dryer and processed into bales or broks.
During the season, the fresh crop has an average moisture content of around 65 percent. The final product has a moisture content of max. 12% or the dry matter content is at least 88%.
In principle, the drying process is quite simple, but because every freshly fed crop is different there's some things to look at to ensure quality. At the start, each party is provided with a unique party number and the crops become strictly separated from each other. The parties submitted are weighted at night weight and then poured into our dry-cleaning area. Then, with a shovel, the fresh crop is shipped into a hopper and then transported into the drum. The large fan at the end of the dryer draws the hot air from the oven (= for the drum) through the drum and dries the crop. Once the crop is dry enough, it is automatically sucked out of the drum.
The process operator dries all batches and closely monitors the quality of the product. Many differences exist between the parties (type of crop, moisture content). The dry installation is adjusted every time to make an optimal final product. Grasdrogerij Hartog is the only green fodder dryer in Europe that performs temperature treatment with natural gas. The taste, smell, nutrients, vitamins and minerals of the fresh product remain due to the rapid drying. The temperature treatment guarantees that our products remain completely free of germs, such as salmonella or para tbc.
When the dry crop leaves the installation and is separated from the water vapor, it is transported to the large baler. The big baler makes bales of about 380kg. Also, we can transport the dried product to the hammer mill. There the crop is completely crushed to a powder. With the aid of the bitter presses (KAHL), the powder is pressed after adding a fraction of molasses (max 3%) into a nice hard bark.
In the contract cultivation (lucerne or grass), the entire process of sowing is to the distribution to the final consumer in charge of Grasdrogerij Hartog. The crops mainly grow on heavy limestone clay in the Wieringermeer. After careful selection of growers (mainly arable farmers) sowing takes place with the varieties chosen by Hartog.
Because Hartog harvests the green fodder, this can be done at the right time. Hartog cultivates the products as close as possible to the drying so that the time between mowing and drying is as short as possible. Mowing is done with mowers 10 meters wide which get almost immediately followed by the chopper. Following is the transport to the dryhouse in container cars. Due to the high degree of organization within Grasdrogerij Hartog, this process of mowing up to drying is optimal because Hartog has all the links within the process itself.
Our drying facility also offers the opportunity for farmers' dry grass or lucerne, within 100 km of the drying room, and returns as broks or bale. In this way you are gaining food produced by your own business.
If you have grassland or a plot of lucerne, you can dry the crop by Grasdrogerij Hartog. Anyone who chooses for artificial drying of grass automatically chooses for no-risk feed. As an entrepreneur you want to take advantage of your own feed recovery, Grasdrogerij Hartog would like to help with (wage) drying your own crop. We bring the dried product to your home in bales or bunches.
With dehydrating, there is no dependency on the weather. Within a 100 km radius of dry land, the fresh grass of the country is reached, dried within 24 hours and returned to your home. For those who live further away, we ask to arrange mowing, hatching and transportation yourself. We then dry it for you and often the car that supplies the grass can bring the dried product right away. We can also provide the dried product with your home delivery. For practical advice, additional information, prices and conditions, you can contact us for further information.
Important: The supplied grass MUST be chopped, otherwise we will not process it!
The rates of lending will depend on the distance between the pickup location and our drying location, as well as the shape in which you will return the grass. Rates on request. The rates apply to 70% moisture, with every 5% increase in moisture there is a surcharge on the price per kg of dried product. If you wind dry, the value remains below 70% moisture.
The large drying system provides a fully computer controlled drying process at low temperatures, which ensures optimal digestibility, odor, color and taste.
There are increasing numbers of livestock farmers who make the transition from common to organic farming. In addition to commonly used Grasdrogerij Hartog, organic feed materials are also used. We are certified for the production and processing of organic feed materials. Grasdrogerij Hartog is registered with SKAL under company number 001195. For more information on our biological activities, please visit our website Skal certificate.
An increasing number of livestock farmers are drying their crops to use it as a food feed. For a biological farmer, it is also very interesting to have green foods dry from their own company. This is because the costs of lending are considerably lower than the purchase of biofuels.
Grasdrogerij Hartog also has EKO products in the assortment, for more information see our products.

The Dean's Fellowship Awards offer a unique opportunity for promising junior- to mid-career level faculty to further develop their careers as independent research investigators and academic leaders. This year's awardees are developing new methods, tools and outcomes as well as institutional infrastructure in the areas of entrepreneurship, informatics and precision medicine. The fellowship supports two-to-three years of research and includes resources, salary and benefits.
Wang is a bioengineer who is developing a novel coating technology, a "living" endothelium, to reduce thrombosis, stenosis and infection when the blood interacts with vascular and intravascular devices such as vascular grafts, patches, stents, cardiac valves and intravascular catheters.
In collaboration with Kit Lam using the One-Bead One-Compound combinatorial high-throughput screening technology, Wang's laboratory identified a cyclic octapeptide, LXW7, which binds to integrins on the surface of endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells while not binding to undesirable cells such as platelets and monocytes. Using his innovation, he will develop best practices to facilitate career development for UC Davis Health scholars based on product development and industry involvement.
Kuhn specializes in the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common, life-threatening disease marked by acute exacerbations for many patients that demand intensive resources. Identifying patients at high risk for COPD exacerbations traditionally uses spirometry and vital signs, which have poor predictive power.
With support from Nicholas Anderson, Jason Adams, and other members of the UC Davis Critical Care Informatics Lab group, Kuhn is incorporating natural language processing (NLP) to tap the unstructured data found in electronic health record notes and radiology reports to better inform predictive models. He believes that a prognostic model that uses novel NLP-derived features will be better at predicting severe COPD exacerbation than traditional predictors alone.
As the informatics fellow, Kuhn plans to collaborate with members of the UC Davis informatics team to define and validate data tools both for his COPD research and future researchers and clinicians in the School of Medicine.
Grandi is working to better understand individual variability in drug effectiveness and susceptibility to side effects. For example, the prediction of drug-induced Torsades de Pointes, a rare but potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmia, remains a critical issue in drug development. The condition is a leading cause of drug withdrawal and relabeling, not only for cardiovascular drugs, but also other categories including antibiotics, chemotherapies, tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazines, and certain antivirals and antifungals.
As a precision medicine fellow, Grandi is using mathematical models of cardiac myocyte electrophysiology and statistical approaches that harness the power of big data to understand mechanisms of safety or toxicity of antiarrhythmic therapies in male and female patients.
"Knowledge of the mechanisms that drive drug response variation and adverse events can help guide the tailoring of pharmacotherapy – a fundamental step toward precision clinical pharmacology," Grandi said.
Carvajal-Carmona specializes in the study of genetic susceptibility to cancer, identifying novel cancer-causing genes and mutations in human populations and in multi-case cancer families, especially among Latinos. While breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Latinas, more research is needed to identify the specific genetic variants and optimal methods to identify mutation carriers and at-risk relatives to improve health outcomes.
As a precision medicine fellow, Carvajal-Carmona wants to make genetic testing for breast cancer in Latinas more effective. His previous studies conducted in Latin American populations found that testing for BRCA1/2 mutations and assessing family history alone are not specific enough to capture many of the cases of breast cancer in Latinas. He is expanding his research to estimate the prevalence of cancer gene mutations among Latinas in the Sacramento area and will develop a research program that will offer genetic counseling and provide gene sequencing for those recently diagnosed with breast cancer. He also will mine publicly available genome sequence data to estimate the carrier frequency of mutations in breast cancer genes among healthy Latinos.
"Better understanding of Latino breast cancer genetics will ultimately lead to precision prevention approaches that improve outcomes in this growing minority population," Carvajal-Carmona said.

How Do Stud Finders Work?
Modern electronic stud finders operate by measuring the capacitance difference in the wall to identify where a wall is denser. By measuring the electrostatic field of a wall and detect slight differences in the flow of electrons, stud finders detect the relative change in density and thereby studs showing the best place to drive that nail. Some of the devices use magnetic fields to detect nail heads in the studs or to scan for wires.
Here at Tool Tally, we're going to break down the best practices.
Tips and Tricks For The Best Results When Locating Studs
Future Technological Developments
Sure, you could hang your pictures just anywhere. But there is always the likelihood of having your pictures and mirrors come crashing down if they are only fastened to sheetrock.
You can't rely on sheetrock to hold heavy objects. Sheetrock is crushed limestone held together with cardboard. It is not designed to support any significant weight.
Whether you are hanging a mirror or putting up shelves, you need to understand the basics of wall construction. Most houses are created from vertical, 2″ thick by 4″ wide boards. For the most secure mounting, you need to affix it to the 2″ side that your sheetrock wall is also attached to.
So you are aiming for the center of a fairly small target.
This becomes even more important when you need to hang electrical boxes or light fixtures.
For decades, the only way to find a stud in the wall was to go on a detective mission. Folks would measure distances off of a corner, bang on the wall to listen for different acoustics and tap or drill tiny holes in the wall to verify the stud's location before performing the installation.
This method has always been cumbersome and relied more upon the carpenter's skill. (You also needed a tub of spackle and a can of matched paint to fix all of the extra holes you created.)
Folks began using strong, rare earth magnets to find metal studs and nail heads in the wall. By sliding a magnet along the wall, it is possible to feel the slight "tug" of resistance when a magnet slides across a metal stud. This method also works for locating metal nail heads in the wall. This method was slightly better than rapping on the wall and listening for changes, but it still required patience and a little bit of skill.
Building on that, magnetic stud finders used a little compass needle that moved when the stud finder was dragged across a nail. This added a visual aid of a compass needle helped the process, further improving accuracy. Later devices incorporated electromagnetic metal detectors that were more sensitive and accurate.
These magnetic stud detectors are still available to purchase, and they sometimes offer added accuracy when used with a modern stud finder on thick plaster walls.
In the late 1970s, Robert Frankin came up with the idea of a capacitor plate to detect the density of the wall. He sold the idea (and rights to use his patent) to Zircon corporation, who produced the only stud detector of this type. In the '90s when the patent ran out, other companies such as Dewalt, Bosch, and Franklin Sensors began offering similar — and sometimes better — stud finders.
These sensors work by using an internal capacitor that detects dielectric currents. Dielectric currents are a fascinating phenomenon that occurs in insulating material (such as sheetrock). Instead of conducting the electricity, the electrons in sheetrock separate into positive and negative charges. Where there is a stud, this separation — the flow of electrons — is different.
A stud finder detects the difference between where there are wall cavities and where there are studs using the dielectric properties of the wall.
Zircon still commands a large portion of the market as one of the most trusted and innovative names in the stud-finding industry.
Most of these stud finders are accurate to about three-quarters of an inch of wall thickness. We're seeing more "deep scan" models that can sometimes read deeper — generally up to 1,5 inches deep in ideal conditions, but some higher-end models boast a 4″ or better depth capability.
This is more than enough sensitivity to be able to read through most modern sheetrock walls. However, there are areas where the tool will struggle. Sometimes these tools struggle when working with older lath and plaster walls. Some lathe and plaster walls also offer the challenge or using metal mesh in the plaster which can create complex dielectric constants and render most stud detectors useless.
Additionally, it is very difficult to sense studs through ceramic tile. Some of the deep scan sensors are able to detect nail heads through ceramic tile, brick and even 4+ inches of cured concrete, but that is about the best you can hope for.
Wall scanners also do not work through carpet or exterior siding. There are a few reasons for this, not the least of which are a thicker depth and air gaps between where the sensor is and where the stud is.
Some of these models use multiple "detectors" across a wider field of sensing to help "triangulate" a stud's exact position more accurately.
Users should also be aware of false positives that these finders can create. Sometimes wires or piping can trigger the finder and create the appearance of a stud.
The best answer to avoiding false positives is to first locate each edge of the stud that you are planning to use. It won't be accurate, but a typical stud will be about 2 inches wide. Verifying that your stud finder is finding edges at approximately 2 inches apart, will give you some confidence.
For increased confidence (and as a best practice) locate the stud on either side of the one you plan to drill into. Most modern houses are built on 16-inch studs. By locating more than one stud, you can make sure that you are seeing a predictable pattern.
Once you see the pattern of three or more studs, you'll have that added assurance that you are actually getting ready to drill into a stud and not into a pipe or wire. There are scenarios where a stud may be off-center. If you are unsure, mark the stud in a few places from floor to ceiling. If you are still unsure, drilling a small hole beside the stud and probing with a wire coat hanger (or even using a cheap scope) can help provide complete assurance. (this is typically only significant concern in a bathroom or kitchen).
Multi-mode sensors are becoming more affordable and are a handy tool to have in every garage. They are excellent at detecting wood and metal studs, but they can also find pipes and live electrical wires that you will want to avoid (live AC detection). An excellent example of this would be the Multiscanner x85 from Zircon.
Here in 2019, we are standing on the verge of yet another revolution of technology. Micropower impulse radar is creating the possibility of hand-held radar stud locators that will allow the contractor or homeowner to scan a wall and identify wood studs, wires, and pipes at depths much greater using radio waves than is possible with a stud finder.
Currently, that technology is still significantly more costly than a standard stud finder. It is also still somewhat imprecise. For the home improvement contractor who does a lot of remodeling work, it can be worth the investment as it saves in labor to know what is going on behind the wall. But it will likely still be several years before the average homeowner can afford them.
Working blindly can be costly. And while it still takes a little bit of sleuthing to figure out what is going on in the space behind the wall, stud finders work with magnets, capacitance, and micropower impulse radar to make it easier.
Just don't run out of batteries.

Historic buildings, landscape and archaeology
Extensive Urban Survey Project
Historic-Environment-Assessments
The Chase Through Time
Historic Environment Record
Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Scheduled Monuments
The Staffordshire Extensive Urban Survey (EUS) project forms part of a national programme of Extensive Urban Surveys initiated and supported by English Heritage and held on the Archaeological Data Service (ADS) website.
The project now covers 24 towns of medieval origin within Staffordshire, and intends to increase and synthesise our knowledge and understanding of the heritage assets that contribute to the development and character of these towns.
Identifying our medieval towns
The term 'town' in the context of the EUS relates specifically to those settlements which were clearly established as towns during the medieval period.
An assessment was carried out upon documentary sources and previous assessments by historians to establish which settlements within Staffordshire qualified as medieval towns.
Some of the medieval towns are still clearly important economic centres in the modern landscape, including:
Stafford,
Tamworth,
and Lichfield.
Others however, have reverted to villages some of which, like Church Eaton, merely comprise a handful of houses with few services.
You can download reports for each of the towns covered by the Staffordshire Extensive Urban Survey below:
Abbots Bromley (11mb)
Alrewas (10mb)
Alton (11mb)
Betley (9mb)
Brewood (12mb)
Burton (23mb)
Cannock (19mb)
Cheadle (16mb)
Church Eaton (9mb)

Rocester (20mb)
Rugeley (28mb)
Stafford (23mb)
Stone (13mb)
Tamworth (29mb)
Tutbury (12mb)
Uttoxeter (14mb)
A final summary report is also available, providing an overview of the findings of the EUS and comparing and contrasting what is currently known about Staffordshire's medieval towns.
Staffordshire EUS Final Report (5 MB)
This document establishes a clear research framework with key questions to be considered when a requirement for archaeological work has been requested during the planning process.
The results of any such archaeological work will, in time, feed into the Historic Environment Record (HER) and further our understanding of the history and development of the towns. The final section of the document sets out the ways in which the EUS can inform the planning process, both through policy and development management and in fulfilment of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

EUS guide
To accompany the final report is a guide to the EUS, aimed at helping planners and developers understand how the EUS can contribute to the planning process and to policy development: by providing a sound evidence base for the identification of the historic character, archaeological potential and the significance of the historic environment within Staffordshire's historic towns.

Ireland v Fiji, New Faces and a frustrating weekend.
Posted on 20/11/2017 20/11/2017 by Keego
Another emotional weekend of Irish sport is behind us.
Ireland took on the mighty Fiji in Lansdowne road on Saturday night and it was a game of 3 halves. Don't let my ordinary level maths confuse you. But it was a game of 3 halves.
The team selected kept only 2 started from the previous week against South Africa (Conway and Toner) and 13 starters none of which had 15 caps or more. A brave move from King Joe. I think most expected maybe 4 or 5 new caps to start with a mixture of experience and newbies on the bench, but Joe showed confidence in his entire squad here which was a massively positive move and sent a great message to his team.
Fiji meanwhile, have 14 of their starters playing in the Guinness pro 12, England or France. So they are not the jobbers they once were. They have the skill that they are known for, but the exposure to the professional game means that they are used to big games. They won't be scared of the occasion. Ireland is a scalp they want to take. The main issue was going to be their fitness. The old story is that they will wilt towards the end and that is when the scoreboard will look nice. Until then it would be a tough game.
Ireland started really well. Joey 'Blue Steel' Carberry was pulling the strings like he was working in the Lambert Puppet Theatre. For such a slight man, he had the Fijians scared of him and his quick feet. The team where playing positive rugby. Set piece was holding well but the holes didn't appear until the tried and trusted J10 wrap around (I am sure he has this patented at this stage), Carberry opened up Fiji like Christmas turkey and Sweetnam (player of the series so far) scored in the corner with 7 minutes gone. A tough kick was missed but Ireland where on the board and it appeared that they would continue to add scores with relative ease.
Fiji where not going away and where able to move the ball quicker than Ireland, they rucked well and it was the Irish defence that kept them to a 3 point return instead of more at 20 minutes. This was a game. The collisions where massive. Dave Kearney finished a classy move in the corner to add the 5. Another tough kick for Carberry and he hits the post. This was followed by Jack Conan 'The Barbarian' showing pick up skills that most fellas could use in coppers at closing time to score again. The scoreboard looked to be picking up massively. 17-3 at half time, with a confidence boosting kick for the Irish 10.
Then Ireland took their foot off the gas, a bit like the rest of us when we've put a good shift in at work and its 4pm. We start going to the canteen a bit more than usual and the work builds up again. Ireland lost concentration and the Fijians scored just before half time. The championship minutes. The minutes where Ireland should be showing their mettle. Really putting teams back. But it didn't happen. Nadolo was the star man for Fiji all day. Not only a frightening large human being, he can kick and has an ability to read the game that is fantastic to watch. I would say it is not fantastic to watch when he is running at you. When Nadolo is running at you at full speed I would suggest you would get very religious, very quickly. He shows massive skill to pass 3 Irish players and hand off the pass for the try and easy conversion. Fiji back in it as the ref calls half time. 17-10.
The second half starts with a Dave Kearney mistake letting Fiji score again. The championship minutes again showing Ireland with a lack of concentration. At the hour mark the game was level. Ireland's inexperience was showing with a few missed passes and a general lack of calm. McLosky attempting offloads that were not on being one example. He had a good game against a tough Fiji midfield but he may not be the first in line for video review this morning.
At the hour mark the main thing of note was how competent Fiji where. I don't mean that in a bad way, but the improvement over the last few years has been massive. The set piece was solid and simple. They moved the ball quicker than Ireland did. The slump that many expected wasn't there. That was partly due to the adrenaline of being in the game for the last 20 minutes and the near reality of taking a win in Dublin.
Cian Healy came on and has been a different player this year. Sonny Bill offloads and bulldozing runs are back. That 1 jersey will be a fantastic competition to watch in the coming months.
Carberry went off early in the second half with a fractured wrist. He wasn't the same in the second half after taking a massive hit in the first. I have no idea how he wasn't concussed after that. His head whiplashed in the tackle and then cracked off the ground. Looks like he is out until feb/march time next year which is a blow for green and blue but hopefully he is back for the 6 Nations. Keatley stepped in and had a confident performance. Kicking over 6 points in the second half to scrape Ireland the win. Healy should have had a try awarded but that is me with my green tinted glasses on.
69 minutes gone and it was 20-20 and Fiji where good value for their 20 points. Keatley kicked again cool like a pouting James bond to put Ireland back in front. On a side note, the new drinking game is to have a gulp every time you see Keatley pout while kicking. Even though it was a cameo performance, he played very well and is a credit to the work he has done since his nightmare year last year.
While there were no stand out performances in the starting 15. There were a few who didn't shine as they should have. Kieran Marmion struggled. While that was because the Fijians made it hard for him to have any time, he didn't do what Luke McGrath can do. It may have pushed him to second replacement in the 9 jersey. Keatley / Healy really showed their way back. Great outings from both. A win is a win; it was good to see a team try and win. I expected South Africa to be the team trying but it was Fiji who looked like the monsters.
I do not envy the team who has to play Fiji in a pressure situation in the world cup.
Ireland march into next week with the fresh blood being blooded. They have come through a stern test and will be value for money when called upon. Andrew Conway has been a revelataion, Sweetnam too. Both will be starting and in the team for next week.
Argentina are hot and cold. We don't know what they will do. For me, emotionally, we have to beat Argentina as many times as we can. They have broken my heart too many times, so we need to bring back our starters and sprinkle in a few newish caps for next week and finish the November series on a high.
More on that closer to the time
