Animal-activated Livestock Feeders
Animal-activated livestock feeders are a type of feeding system designed to provide animals with access to feed on demand. These feeders are designed to be activated by the animal's weight, movement, or other physical actions, which triggers the release of feed from the hopper or storage container. The primary goal of animal-activated feeders is to reduce feed waste and improve feed efficiency, as animals are only able to access feed when they are hungry, rather than having access to feed at all times. These feeders can be used for a variety of livestock animals, including cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. They are particularly useful for outdoor feeding systems, where animals are free to roam and graze. By using animal-activated feeders, farmers can reduce the amount of feed that is wasted due to weather conditions or other environmental factors, as the feed is only released when an animal is present to consume it. There are several types of animal-activated livestock feeders available on the market, including gravity-fed systems, treadle feeders, and electronic feeders. Gravity-fed systems rely on the animal's weight to activate the release of feed, while treadle feeders require the animal to step on a pedal or treadle to release the feed. Electronic feeders use sensors to detect the animal's presence and release feed accordingly. Overall, animal-activated livestock feeders are an effective way to improve feed efficiency and reduce feed waste in livestock production systems. By providing animals with access to feed on demand, farmers can ensure that their animals are well-fed and healthy, while also reducing the amount of feed that is wasted.

This can be seen in the use of talismans and amulets in Lao art, which are believed to offer protection and good luck. In addition to traditional forms of art, Lao artists have also embraced more modern styles and techniques. Street art and graffiti have become increasingly popular in urban areas, with artists using these forms to express their social and political views. Photography and digital art have also gained popularity, with many Lao artists using these mediums to explore new ways of expressing their culture. Overall, the Art of Lao People is a rich and diverse form of expression that reflects the country's unique cultural heritage. From traditional forms of art that reflect the country's connection to nature and spirituality, to more modern styles that explore new ways of expressing Lao identity, Lao art continues to evolve and thrive.

Architectural History
Architectural history encompasses the comprehensive analysis of the built environment, focusing on the chronological development of architectural styles, construction methods, and the cultural significance of buildings and structures. This field of study not only investigates the aesthetic and functional aspects of architecture but also delves into the socio-political context and the role of architecture in shaping human experiences. One essential aspect of architectural history is the identification and classification of architectural styles. These styles often reflect the prevailing cultural, religious, and political ideologies of their time. For instance, the Baroque style emerged in the 17th century as a response to the Protestant Reformation, with its elaborate ornamentation and grandiose designs aimed at evoking a sense of awe and reinforcing the power of the Catholic Church. Another critical component of architectural history is the examination of technological advancements and their impact on construction methods and materials. For example, the development of cast iron and steel framing in the 19th century revolutionized the construction industry, enabling the creation of taller and more slender structures, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Home Insurance Building in Chicago. Architectural historians also study the relationship between architecture and urban planning, investigating how the layout and organization of cities have evolved in response to various factors, such as population growth, economic development, and environmental concerns. This includes the study of planned cities, such as Washington D.C., which was designed by Pierre L'Enfant in the late 18th century, and the modernist city of Brasília, designed by Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa in the mid-20th century. Moreover, architectural history explores the role of architects as agents of social change, examining how their work has been influenced by and has influenced societal values and aspirations. This includes the study of visionary architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, whose organic architecture sought to harmonize buildings with their natural surroundings, and Le Corbusier, whose modernist designs aimed to improve living conditions in urban environments. In summary, architectural history is a multifaceted discipline that investigates the evolution of architectural styles, construction methods, and the cultural significance of the built environment. It encompasses the study of aesthetics, technology, urban planning, and the role of architects in shaping human experiences.

Alternative Daily Cover
Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) refers to a type of material that is used to cover the surface of a landfill when it is not in use. This engineered material is designed to protect the landfill from wind and water erosion, as well as to prevent the spread of contaminants that may be present in the landfill. By minimizing the release of hazardous gases into the atmosphere and reducing odors, ADC can help mitigate the environmental impacts of landfills. One of the key benefits of ADC is that it can help reduce the amount of maintenance required to keep the landfill site clean. This is because the ADC helps to reduce the amount of rainwater that infiltrates the landfill, which can cause problems with leachate production. Additionally, by minimizing the spread of pests, rodents, and vectors, ADC can help reduce the need for pest control measures at the landfill site. ADC can be made from a variety of materials, including soil, mulch, compost, geotextiles, rubber tires, and plastic sheeting. The choice of material depends on a number of factors, including the climate, the type of waste being disposed of, and the desired lifespan of the ADC. Overall, Alternative Daily Cover is an important component of modern landfill design, and can help ensure that landfills are safe and functional for the long-term.
