A total of 150 weanling pigs [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc, BW = 6.76 ± 0.61 kg] were used in a 42-d trial to investigate the effects of dietary Aviplus-S supplementation on growth performance, fecal score, fecal moisture, fecal pH, and blood profiles. Pigs were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatments according to BW. Dietary treatments were NC, basal diet (without antibiotics); PC, NC + 39 mg...

eDITORIaLS Food additives and hyperactivity Evidence supports a trial period of eliminating colourings and preservatives from the diet Whether preservatives and colourings cause or exacerbate hyperactive behaviours is an important question for many paediatricians and parents. A recent randomised placebo controlled trial in 297 children aged 3-9 years provides evidence of increased hyperactive b...

Geometry of Interaction (GoI) is a research program initiated by Jean-Yves Girard which aims at defining a semantics of linear logic proofs accounting for the dynamical aspects of cut elimination. We present here a parametrised construction of a Geometry of Interaction for Multiplicative Additive Linear Logic (MALL) in which proofs are represented by families of directed weighted graphs. Contra...

1.1 Lubrication (Rizvi, 2009) The principle of supporting a sliding load on a friction reducing film is known as lubrication (Ludema, 1996). The substance of which the film is composed is a lubricant, and to apply it is to lubricate. These are not new concepts, nor, in their essence, particularly involved ones. Farmers lubricated the axles of their ox carts with animal fat centuries ago. But mo...

The primary goal of making silage is to maximize the preservation of original nutrients in the forage crop for feeding at a later date. Unfortunately, fermentation in the silo is a very uncontrolled process usually leading to less than optimal preservation of nutrients. In order to assist in the fermentation process, various silage additives have been used to improve the nutrient and energy rec...

As the impact of ischemia reperfusion injury on graft outcome is now well defined, efforts are made towards decreasing these lesions, typically through the improvement of preservation techniques. The use of pharmacological supplements which could be compatible with any preservation solution used by the transplant center and target specific pathways of IR is an interesting strategy to improve gr...
