The investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of Ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Nursery site. Four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...

Lipids in liver wet and dry matter, liver moist and dry matter and their relationships were investigated based on species, sex and age in cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats. Mean percentage of lipids in liver wet and dry matter and liver dry matter in cows were 3.60%, 1.10%, 29.70%, and for buffaloes were 5.30%, 1.55%, 29.20%, sheep 3.00%, 0.83%, 27.90%, and goats 2.910%, 1.55% and 28.40%, respec...

St. Croix White hair sheep ewes were used to evaluate the effect of supplemental nutrition prior to breeding during the dry and wet seasons on St. Croix. Beginning 21 d prior to breeding ewes were fed supplement in addition to grazing guineagrass pasture (FEED). Other ewes in the flock grazed pasture only (CONTROL). This study was conducted during the dry (June and July) and wet seasons (Octobe...

Dry forests are common, although highly threatened in the Neotropics. Their ecological processes are mostly influenced by rainfall pattern, hence their cycles exhibit contrasting phases. We studied the phenology of canopy trees in a primary dry forest in Western Brazil in the foothills of the Urucum mountain chain, in order to improve our knowledge on the functioning of these poorly-known fores...

allelopathic relationship between plant associations, could be applied in non-chemical ‎weed management, however, those allelochemicals should not have adverse effects on arable ‎crops. in order to evaluate allelopatic effects of barley (hordeum vulgare) on ‎germination & growth characteristics of lentil (lens esculenta), two experiments were ‎conducted based on compactly randomized design (crd...

the potential use of nano technology for improving of withdrawal resistance of nail and screw in wood was evaluated. for this, the maintenance strength of nail and screw was measured under dry and wet conditions for poplar wood (populus nigra) coated with common paints in furniture industry and nano-particles. specimens with dimensions of 15×5×5 cm3 (l×r×t) were cut from poplar wood (populus ni...

In the Unites States, residential air conditioners (ACs) and heat pumps (HPs) are rated by a test procedure that estimates seasonal efficiency, or SEER. One part of the test procedure -the cyclic test determines the efficiency degradation when the AC system cycles ON and OFF. The cyclic test is presently conducted at dry coil conditions, even though most systems operate the majority of the time...
