Sickle Gloss Texture Analysis Elucidates Long-Term Evolution of Plant Harvesting During the Transition to Agriculture

چکیده

Archaeobotanical and genetic analysis of modern plant materials are drawing a complex scenario for the origins cereal agriculture in Levant. This paper presents an improved method study early farming harvesting systems based on texture gloss observed sickle blades through confocal microscopy. Using this method, we identify different activities (unripe/semi-ripe/ripe reaping reed grass cutting) quantitatively evaluate their evolution during time when cultivation started domesticated crops appeared Levant (12,800 to 7000 cal BC). The state maturity cereals harvested shifted over from unripe, semi-ripe finally ripe. Most these changes techniques explained by modification transition agriculture. shift strategies was neither chronologically linear nor geographically homogeneous. Fully mature becomes dominant around 8500 BC Southern one millennium later Northern Levant, which accords with appearance domestic varieties archaeobotanical record. better fits gradualist model explanation than punctuated one.

Histomorphometrical changes of oviduct during the long-term exposure of breeder hens to extra thyroxine

In this research a 100 day long treatment period was considered to unmask the probable adverse effects of long-term induced hyperthyroidism on histomorphometrical attributes of the oviduct in broiler breeder hens. A total of seventy 47-week-old Cobb 500 breeder hens were randomly allotted to two treatment groups (5 replicates of 7 hens each). Thyroxine (T4) was orally administered to the hypert...
