Data use is subject to obtaining permission of the representative of His Majesty the King in Right of Canada. Please contact the author for further information.Data collection (search strategy and inclusion criteria)A systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA statement (Page et al., 2021) to update the dataset previously used in a meta-analysis (Remus et al., 2015). The platforms Pubmed (126 references), ProQuest (235 references), Scopus (143 references) and Science Direct (1,663 references) were searched to identify studies reporting experimental dose-response results for the different Met sources used in pigs from weaning to finishing. The review question was proposed using the “PICo” framework, where a set of keywords was created, including elements designating population (pigs, piglets), interest (Met requirements, Met supplementation), and context (growth performance). After 293 duplicate references were removed, 1,898 studies remained. These studies were analyzed according to the following selection criteria: 1) research must have been conducted on pigs; 2) the paper must have been published between 1990 and 2021; 3) and it must present growth performance data. Based on these criteria, 1,779 papers were eliminated after the titles were assessed, while another 74 were eliminated after reading the abstract. An additional search in Google Scholar was performed. The keywords used were “pigs,” “Met,” and “growth,” and 24 adittional papers were selected according to the three previously stated criteria. At this step, the database comprised 45 references that were individually screened for full-text analysis. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) Studies must present treatments with different sources of free Met such as L-Met, DL-Met and/or OH-Met; 2) Free Met must have been provided at one or more inclusion levels; 3) Met must be the first limiting amino acid according to the material and methods; 4) Papers must present the nutritional composition of the experimental diets. A total of 33 studies were retained for the meta-analysis at the end of the evaluation process. Due to the small number of studies on the growing and finishing phase, only the post-weaning phase (5-25 kg body weight) was included in the analysis. Post-weaning data were present in 24 papers used in the meta-regression and meta-analysis. The ingredient composition of each diet was computed in spreadsheets and used to estimate (recalculate) the dietary composition in terms of net energy, SID AA, as well as mineral composition using the software EvaPig®. When available, the analyzed total AA composition provided by the authors was used to estimate SID values with EvaPig®.The codes used in the database are described on the Legend sheet
Geschichten von Onkel Remus
No full textForty-four stories and an afterword, with perhaps a dozen indifferent black-and-white line sketches and perhaps a dozen good colored pictures, generally a full page in size. The afterword goes out of its way twice to mention that the successors of the white masters still repress the Blacks today. It opens with a great quotation from Uncle Remus: if these stories were nothing but fun, the stuff of laughter, he would not have troubled himself with them. The binding and covers of this book are curiously flexible.Language note: GermanJoel Chandler Harris and Rolf F. Mülle
Onkel Remus erzählt . . .
No full textHere is my second German Uncle Remus. It first appeared in Czech from Artia in Prague in 1959. Here are thirty-six episodes on 137 pages, followed by a T of C. The book itself is landscape formatted, 9¼ x 9. On the dust jacket is a long single illustration of four foxes moving right. The front cloth cover has a clever design of a bird on the nose of a fox. The same scene is pictured, though differently, in the full-page colored frontispiece. Besides the frequent colored pictures without printing on their verso, each chapter has one or two simple one-character designs. Over and over we see the rabbit, angry, worried, or suspicious (18, 29, 119). The artist enjoys suggesting that a character runs away or escapes by showing just the rear portion of the animal moving off the page (e.g., 20, 42). One of the best of the colored pictures shows the fox looking down into the well at the rabbit in the bucket (67). The very last page shows the fox inside the stomach of the bull (137).This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Language note: GermanZweite AuflageJoel Chandler Harris; ins Deutsche übertragen von Eliska Glaserov
Un fabulista sureño : Joel Chandler Harris y Uncle Remus, su gran creación
No full textThe purpose of the present article is to introduce the reader the author of over thirty books, thousands of column-inches in the prestigious Atlanta Constitution and other Georgian newspapers. But, above all, what we have wanted to point out is the fact that Joel Chandier Harris would have deserved a permanent place in literary histories of America if he had only left The Uncle Remus Tales as his cultural contribution. It has seemed convenient to arrange the subject in three parts. The first one claimed to be an introduction of the author's personality being the other two concemed about his great success The Uncle Remus Tales.\ud
In this work, Harris presented animal stories or legends told by a former slave. Uncle\ud
Remus, who supposedly had "nothing but pleasant memories of the discipline of slavery and the period he described". Thematically, The Uncle Remus Tales set forth a rural, southem mythology, a code of behaviour of the underdog, in which cunning and subterfuge replace open resistance. The underdog trickster who survives and triumphs in theses stories is the rabbit which can perfectly be identified with Uncle Remus. When Uncle Remus and the animals talked to Harris , they didn't tell him everything. But they told him enough to create a southern and an American literature of lasting value
"Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings"
No full textInternational audienceIn spite of the fact that Joel Chandler Harris was a white author from the antebellum South, his Uncle Remus stories may be credited with preserving authentic African American speech patterns of the nineteenth century. Harris had befriended a slave, George Terrell, while working on the Turner plantation as an apprentice printer shortly before the Civil War. Terrell was a father-figure to Harris, who recalled stories he had told when he created the character of Uncle Remus. The stories arise from African folklore, and make a link between African tales. Hence we find the true African roots of the contemporary Bugs Bunny. Although the stories were sometimes used by whites to further racism, especially in a Hollywood production of 1946,and although Harris himself sometimes looked back nostalgically to the time of slavery, in fact these stories replete with trickster characters cannot be seen as anything less than African-American empowerment tales. They have rightfully been recovered by African Americans ranging from James Weldon Johnson in 1917 to jazz musicians and contemporary African American story tellers such as Diane Ferlatte. It also becomes clear that many African American writers who emphasize the oral tradition in their works may owe something to Joel Chandler Harris
The simulation of free surface flows with Computational Fluid Dynamics
No full textComputational fluid dynamics is a powerful and versatile tool for the analysis of flow problems encountered in themaritime environment. The University of Southampton Fluid-Structure Interactions research group use ANSYS CFX tomodel a wide variety of flow problems; to gain insight into flow physics, improve designs and increase the efficiencyand safety of marine vehicles. A series of three case studies from on-going research looks at: loads applied on liquefiednatural gas tanks due to sloshing, slamming pressures experienced by high speed craft as well as the influence ofpropellers on the resistance characteristics of autonomous underwater vehicles. The presence of the free surface,complex shapes and the unsteady nature of these applications make their simulation with computational fluid dynamicsparticularly challenging. The successful validation of the computational models has resulted in the development of aselection process for suitable multiphase models as well as cost-effective meshing strategies

Uncle Remus Stories
No full textThis book comes from the same author, illustrator, and publisher as our 1969 "Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox." It does not repeat any of the stories there. Perhaps that is a second volume of stories complementing this as a first volume. I have had to search hard to find anyone online admitting a date for this book. I will trust the two who say "1960," even though that means separating the two books by nine years. This volume has the great stories of the tar-baby and the briar-patch. Those two also provide wonderful illustrations! "Brer Rabbit finds his match at last" is a lovely rendition of TH. The cover has several different sunlight stains. I had high hopes for finding many things at Any Amount of Books, but this is the only book I found.Retold by Jane Shaw from the original of Joel Chandler Harri
