An article in Agricultural Engineering (December 1964, pp. 672-673) described an experiment
in which the daily weight gain of swine is evaluated at different levels of housing temperature.
The mean weight of each group of swine at the start of the experiment is considered to be a
nuisance factor. The data from this experiment are as follows:

Mytilus in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (1991, Vol. 111, pp. 323-333)] discussed

An article in Bioresource Technology ["Preliminary Tests on Nisin and Pediocin Production
Using Waste Protein Sources: Factorial and Kinetic Studies" (2006, Vol. 97(4), pp. 605-613]
described an experiment in which pediocin was produced from waste protein. Nisin and pediocin
are bacteriocins (compounds produced by bacteria that inhibit related strains) used for food
preservation. Three levels of protein (g/L) from trout viscera extracts were compared.
