Studies were conducted to determine the effects of lysocellin and monensin on mineral metabolism of steers fed forage-based diets. In each study treatments consisted of 1) control, 2) 100 mg lysocellin/d, 3) 200 mg lysocellin/d and 4) 200 mg monensin/d. Twenty-four growing Hereford steers were used in each of two experiments to evaluate the effects of ionophore feeding on plasma and ruminal sol...

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality properties of emulsion-type pork sausages when pork fat is replaced with vegetable oil mixtures during processing. Pork sausages were processed under six treatment conditions: T1 (20% pork fat), T2 (10% pork fat + 2% grape seed oil + 4% olive oil + 4% canola oil), T3 (4% grape seed oil + 16% canola oil), T4 (4% grape seed oil + 4% olive oil + 12%...

The objective of this paper was to study the performance of household refrigerator having both air and water-cooled condenser, with 0.06% mass fraction CuO nanoparticle-lubricant mixture and different types of compressor oils. The experiment was done using HFC134a as the refrigerant, CuO nanoparticles, Polyol-ester oil (POE) oil which is used as the conventional lubricant in the household refri...

A metabolism study was conducted with rabbits to determine the effect of consumption of 5% dietary Senecio jacobaea (SJ) on tissue mineral levels and mineral excretion. Gastro-intestinal (GIT) absorption of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) from SJ was also studied by monitoring excretion into urine and feces and by the use of ligated gut segments in vitro. Inclusion of SJ into a diet containing add...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of an emulsifier (glycerol polyethylene glycol ricinoleate: gpgr) and different sources of fat on the performance of khaki campbell ducks. ducks were assigned into five groups with three replicates (10 ducks/replicate) in each group. treatments were a control diet (c1: without added oil and emulsifier), control diet added with 2% soybean oil (c2)...

OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of free radicals from peroxidized oil and the role of albumin on the passage of radicals. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Clinical IVF laboratory and university department. PATIENT(S) Blood samples were donated by laboratory staff. INTERVENTION(S) Examination of the effects of mineral oil samples with various peroxide value (POV) on culture of erythroc...

The biodegradability of certain biofuels was studied in the case of forest soils using the manometric respirometric technique, which was proved to be very suitable for untreated, fertilized as well as pH adjusted soils. Experiments carried out in infertile sandy forest soil gave a BOD/ThOD value of 45.1% for a typical model substance, that is, sodium benzoate after a period of 30 days and miner...

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of mineral matter of Göynük oil shales (GOS) on pyrolysis and product evolution. Organic part was separated from mineral matter before pyrolysis in an isothermal pyrolysis reactor. In the demineralization step, carbonate, pyrite and silicates were removed from kerogen by using HCl, HNO3 and HF, respectively. Thereafter all samples were pyrolized in...

This study examined the persistence rate of resistance training after intervention with progressive resistance training and the long-term changes in self-perceived function as Heath-related quality of life (HRQOL) between a maintaining group (TR) and a detraining group (DT) after the intervention. One hundred sixty-seven persons aged 65 and older participated in this study. We measured SF-36 as...
