AIM The current in vitro study was carried out to determine the chemical composition and inclusion level of lime treated olive cake on acid detergent fiber (ADF) replacement basis in adult male goats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Crude olive cake was collected and evaluated for proximate composition and protein fractionation. It was treated with 6% lime and incubated for 1 week under room temperatur...

The purpose of this investigation was to ascertain whether outcome expectancies and criminal thinking would change in offenders participating in a psychoeducational group and whether significant cross-lag (over time) correlations could be identified between outcome expectancies and criminal thinking. A sample of 121 US federal inmates completed the Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking S...

Four sunflower accessions were compared with a susceptible check, hybrid '894', in the greenhouse to determine their resistance to the banded sunflower moth, Cochylis hospes Walsingham, and their interaction with Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner variety kurstaki. Antibiosis, expressed as lower larval weight, was detected in all of the accessions. In addition to being antibiotic, sunflower access...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), belonging to the family „Asteraceae‟ is a diploid species (2n = 2x = 34). Sunflower is an important oilseed crop and is the preferred source of oil for domestic consumption and cooking worldwide (Hu et al., 2010). In the oilseed scenario, sunflower competes with other three major oilseeds, i.e. soyabean, groundnut and rapeseed mustard at global level. Sunflower...

A series of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration experiments was performed systematically in order to investigate the effects of various hydrodynamic and physicochemical operational parameters on a cake layer formation in colloidal and particulate suspensions. Bench-scale fouling experiments with a thin-film composite RO membrane were performed at various combinations of trans-membrane pres...

During crossflow microfiltration, formation of cake layer on the membrane inhibits the filter performance. Previous studies on cake formation have focused on the monodisperse conditions, although most field applications are under the polydisperse conditions. In this study, microfiltration experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of particle size on cake formation, especially, at pol...

rapeseed is the most widely used oil crop in europe and it is an ideal raw material for the production of biodiesel. because of a high nutritional value and a relatively high omega-3 fatty acids content, rapeseed cake can be used in poultry nutrition for the enrichment of meat and eggs. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the possibility of using rapeseed cake in diets for turkeys...
