Body Composition of Pigeons

The composition of the crop milk of pigeons.

PIGEON squabs are hatched in the undeveloped state but grow very rapidly during the first few days after hatching. During this period they are fed on a special secretion formed in the crop ofthe parent birds. This secretion, commonly called "pigeon's milk", is a white, slimy, caseous material formed by the desquamation of epithelial cells and may be regarded as an example of a sacrifice of cell...

Optimization of Body Composition Analyzer Facility, Considering Operator Dosimetry

Background: Changes in body composition may be used for monitoring progression/ regression of a disease. Prompt γ-rays in vivo neutron activation analysis (IVNAA) has been widely used for the measurement of body composition in recent years.Objective: In this paper, we tried to improve the safety of IVNAA operator.Methods: The most important factor for reducing the operator receiving dose is th...

The effect of back pain on body posture, Somatotype and body composition in women

Background: Low back pain causes movement and occupational restrictions in women. The aim of this study was to compare women with and without low back pain and its relationship with body type, muscle percentage and fat. Methods: The statistical population consisted of women with low back pain (28 people, 30 to 60 years old) were randomly selected and 28 people were selected as healthy or contr...

Zooplankton body composition

I compiled literature on zooplankton body composition, from protozoans to gelatinous plankton, and report allometric relations and average body composition. Zooplankton segregate into gelatinous and non-gelatinous forms, with few intermediate taxa (chaetognaths, polychaetes, and pteropods). In most groups body composition is size independent. Exceptions are protozoans, chaetognaths, and pteropo...
