Diet Regimes for Growing Guineas as Meat Birds

Transition regimes for growing crack populations.

Numerous observational papers on crack populations in the material and geological sciences suggest that cracks evolve in such a way as to organize in specific patterns. However, very little is known about how and why the self-organization comes about. We use a model of tensile-like cracks with friction in order to study the time and space evolution of normal faults. The premise of this spring-b...

Comparison of Point Count Sampling Regimes for Monitoring Forest Birds

A set of 255 counts was compiled for 13 points using 10-minute periods subtallied at 3 and 6 minutes. The data from each point were subsampled using combinations of count periods, numbers, and schedules to compare the effectiveness of these different regimes at per point coverage. Interspecifically, detection frequencies differed in level and pattern as a function of count period length. The co...

Use of Palm Waste Cellulose as a Substitute for Common Growing Media in Aglaonema Growing

In order to evaluate the possibility use of palm waste cellulose as a substitute substrate for growing pot plants, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with 6 replication and six treatments on Aglaonema sp. The treatments were 5 levels including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 palm celluloid wastes mixed with different rates of some amendments such as peat, coconut coir, perl...

Red meat in the diet

Much of the evidence presented in this paper is based on epidemiological studies investigating associations between meat intake and health/disease outcomes. Not all studies define what is meant by meat and, where definitions are offered, they are not always the same, which can make comparisons between studies difficult. Some studies include poultry under the definition of meat, while others exc...
