There are many studies on the effects of probiotics on performance of broiler chickens, but none of them has evaluated the metabolizable energy (ME) equivalency values of probiotics. The aim of this study was to determine the metabolizable energy equivalency value of Bacillus subtilis spore and its potential for decreasing feed ME content and cost. One hundred seventy-six day-old male broilers ...

in this study, estimation of global and diffuse solar radiations of selected cities in nigeria was carried out to assess the feasibility of solar energy utilization. the results of this work show the variation of direct and diffuse component of solar radiation in summer and winter months. the contribution of diffuse solar radiation is high during the monsoon months whereas sky conditions are cl...

Solar energy is an environmentally sustainable energy source as it is clean and inexhaustible. Solar systems are very common and cost-effective, thus, can be used for many home applications. In this paper, a new method is presented to optimize solar systems economically, regarding to energy cost fluctuations. In spite of conventional analyses, in which the inflation is considered constant, ...

This study investigates the constructs and related theories that drive social capital in energy sector from the intention perspectives. This research uses theories of ‘social support’ and ‘planned behaviour’ alongside satisfaction and perceived value to propose a research model that drives social capital for energy sectors in Malaysia. The model reveals that the Theories of Planned Behaviour (T...

the reaction of ch₃nh₂ with o₂ on the singlet potential energy surfaces (pes) was carried out using the b3lyp, ccsd(t) and g3b3 theoretical approaches along with 6-311++g(3df,3pd) basis set. the suggested mechanism for the title reaction consists of one pre-reactive complex. from the pre-reactive complex, nine types of products, ch2nh+h2o2, ch3nh+ooh, nh2cho+h2o, ch2nho+h2o, nh3+hcooh, ch2nh+h2...
