Non-invasive determination of body composition in pigs using a Norland XR-26 bone densitometer
Non-invasive measurement of body composition provides advantages in growth studies compared to conventional techniques. The same individual can be measured several times, the measurement is faster, and the number of pigs required as well as the random effect of animal are reduced. The aim of the present study was to determine the composition of the half carcass and of the ham/shank region by a ...
متن کاملComparison of a GE Lunar DPX-IQ and a Norland XR-26 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner for body composition measurements in pigs – in vivo
In the context of future growth and performance testing, this study compares corresponding body composition results measured by two dual energy X-ray absorptiometry systems. To test the capability of each device to detect differences among experimental groups widely varying in body composition, 77 pigs from 6 purebred/crossbred groups were used for the experiment. Each pig was scanned consecuti...
متن کاملShort term in vivo precision of whole body composition measurements on the Horizon A densitometer.
INTRODUCTION Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is increasingly being used to assess abnormalities in body composition associated with a wide variety of conditions including obesity, sarcopenia, diabetes, anorexia, human immunodeficiency virus lipodystrophy, malabsorption and neuromuscular disorders. The objective of this study was to determine the short-term in vivo precision and least sig...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Determination of Blood Glucose Levels by Optical Waveguide
Objective: Today, there are various non-invasive techniques available for the determination of blood glucose levels. In this study, the level of blood glucose was determined by developing a new device using near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, glass optical waveguide, and the phenomenon of evanescent waves. Materials and Methods: The body's interstitial fluid has made possible the development of ne...
متن کاملfeatures of short story in translated and non-translated literature: a polysystemic perspective
ترجمه متون ادبی در دنیای امروز از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. فرهنگ های مختلف با استفاده از متون ادبی ملل و فرهنگ های دیگر سعی در غنی کردن فرهنگ و ادبیات کشور خود دارند. کشور ما نیز از این قاعده مستثنی نیست. در ایران، ترجمه متون ادبی اروپائی که با دوران مشروطه ایرانی آغاز می شود موجب تغییرات اساسی در فرهنگ، شیوه زندگی و تفکر ایرانیان شده است. در این دوران نه تنها در امورات سیاسی و فکری کشور تغی...
