Koonjaenak S. 2006. Semen and Sperm Characteristics of Swamp Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Bulls for Artificial Insemination in Thailand, in Relation to Season. Doctoral thesis. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7263-6 In this thesis work we tested the hypothesis that tropical climatic conditions affect the quality of fresh and frozen-thawed (FT) spermatozoa from swamp buffalo bulls used for artificial i...

Kenten Laut is a rural locality in the Talang Kelapa District that consists largely of swamp. Residentsrely heavily on swamp's corrosive water for mundane concrete mixing. Researchers this study usedswamp and alum recipe. Swamp were utilized as supplementarycomponents, with content solution varying between 2% 4% by weight cement. Thetest object cube dimensions (15, 15, 15) cm there are fifty th...

We report the draft genome sequences of two antimicrobial-producing isolates, Burkholderia sp. strains MSh1 and MSh2, which were isolated from tropical peat swamp forest soil. Putative genes related to different antimicrobial production have been annotated in both genome sequences.

Functional traits offer generalizability to the prediction of ecosystem processes such as production, and community-weighted mean trait values are increasingly used for predictions. However, underlying causal direction between often indirect sometimes even tenuous. In this study, we aimed uncover mechanisms traits, habitat adaptation canopy productivity. We production data estimated from leaf l...

We report the draft genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. strain MSt1, which has broad-range antimicrobial activity, isolated from tropical peat swamp soil. Genes involved in antimicrobial biosynthesis are found to be present in this genome.

Rod bipolar cells in the mammalian retina receive synaptic input from many noisy rod photoreceptors. When photons are scarce, linear addition of inputs would swamp signals with noise. A nonlinearity at the synapse optimizes the signal to noise ratio.

AIM To test the hypothesis that season affects the semen quality of swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bulls used for artificial insemination (AI) under tropical conditions in Thailand, as it does in Bos taurus and Bos indicus. METHODS Clinical and andrological examinations, and monitoring of semen production and quality were carried out on five mature, healthy swamp buffalo AI bulls in Thailand...

DOMESTIC BUFFALOES ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUP BASED ON CYTOGENETIC CHARACTERISTICS AND HABITATS: the "river buffaloes" with 2n = 50 and the "swamp buffaloes", 2n = 48. Nevertheless, their hybrids are viable, fertile and identified by a 2n = 49. In order to have a better characterization of these different cytotypes of buffaloes, and considering that NOR-bearing chromosomes are involved in the r...

During reprogramming, there is exchange of histone H1c and the oocyte-specific linker histone, and H1c may play a critically important role in the reprogramming process of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the H1c gene in SCNT reprogramming in Chinese swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) using RNA interference (RNAi). Chinese swamp buff...

Although mark-recapture methods are among the most powerful tools for monitoring wildlife populations, the secretive nature of some species requires a comprehensive understanding of the factors that affect capture probability to maximize accuracy and precision of population parameter estimates (e.g., population size and survivorship). Here, we used aquatic snakes as a case study in applying rig...
