In this experiment, the effects of fennel and thyme extracts with and without flaxseed were investigated on performance and egg quality of Leghorn-type laying hens (Hy-Line W-36). 200 laying hens from 26 to 38 weeks of age were assigned to five dietary treatments with five replications. The treatment groups were: 1) Control (a diet without any additives); 2) control diet plus fennel (40 mg/kg f...

   A modified morphology was introduced for poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PC71BM) bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells by thermal and solvent annealing treatments in the presence of hydrophilic-hydrophobic block copolymers. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) plummet was prohibited during both thermal and solvent treatments for all BHJ devices modified wit...

A useful nanophotocatalyst (La,S-TiO2) was prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence emission spectroscopy (PL) and scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results showed that the La,S-TiO2, which calcined at 550 °C, contained only anatase phaseand its crystal size was 23 nm...

Phlox paniculata L. and Rudbeckia hirta L. are popular North American native herbaceous perennials in the landscape. Perennials in general have a tendency to quickly outgrow their containers in the greenhouse. Chemical plant growth regulators (PGRs) are commonly used to control plant size in the horticulture industry. Unfortunately, both Phlox and Rudbeckia are extremely susceptible to powdery ...

antibacterial effects of honeybee propolis tested on the paenibacillus larvae larvae, cause of honeybee american foulbrood disease. after cultivation of bacterium in special medium we used of two antibacterial susceptibility tests: broth dilution susceptibility test and paper disk susceptibility test. in the b.d.s.t 0.32 milligrams/ml and higher concentrations of propolis inhibited growth of th...

Andrographis paniculata is an important medicinal plant which possesses many applications. Looking to the importance of growth regulators one study was carried out on influence foliar spraying treatments in yield Kariyatu. Different includes NAA (50,100 and 200 mg l-1) , GA3 Paclobutrazol with as control were considered application at 30 days after transplanting. Experimental results indicated ...

Using biocomposites containing wheat straw (WS) and synthetic polymers like polyethylene (PE) has gained tremendous popularity, but its application in the packaging industry is not substantial. Due to the prevalence of raw WS color which manifests itself in the WS/LDPE biocomposite, the present investigation is dedicated to fabricate a bleached WS/LDPE composite. Thus, raw WS and the pulp of WS...
