Plasma thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and iodide levels were measured from birth until 30 days of age in 17 Holstein x Friesian (HF), 7 Salers and 7 Charolais calves born at term. The response of plasma T4 and T3 levels to bovine thyrotropin (TSH) injection was also compared in two groups of 9 HF calves 3hrs and 21 days, respectively, after birth. In the HF calves, plasma T4 and T3 level...

the potential sources of cr (vi) are various effluents from metallurgy, electroplating, leather tanning, textile dyeing, paint, ink, and aluminum manufacturing industries. these industrial effluents can contain cr (vi), in the concentration range of 10 to 100 mg/l (nakano et al 2000), which is much higher than the standard limit; 0.5 mg/l in industrial wastewater (epa). in aqueous systems, chro...

plexity. This conclusion is conceptually similar to our own, and it little alters the broader impacts of our published findings; still, the general relevance of the issues warrants a response. In their reanalysis, Gutierrez-Ibanez et al. [2016] perform a ‘residual analysis’, which regresses body weight on brain weight with phylogenetic generalized least squares (PGLS) to obtain size-corrected r...

In this paper, we present an approximate method to solve the solution of the second kind Volterra integral equations. This method is based on a previous scheme, applied by Maleknejad ‎et al., ‎‎[K. Maleknejad ‎and Aghazadeh, Numerical solution of Volterra integral equations of the second kind with convolution kernel by using Taylor-series expansion method, ‎Appl. Math. Comput.‎ (2005)]‎ to gain...

Fly larvae may provide an effective method to mitigate two large and growing global concerns: the use of fish meal derived from capture fisheries in aquaculture diets and manure management in livestock and poultry facilities. A 9-wk feed trial was conducted to determine whether fly larvae could be used as a partial fish meal and fish oil replacement in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, diets....
