in this experiment 180 azerbaijan province native laying hens from 28 to 40 weeks were separated in 6 treatments and 3 replicates (10 birds per replicate) as a (2 × 3) factorial arrangement of treatments in a completely randomized design. treatments included two levels of dried tomato pomace (dtp) (8 and 16%) and 3 types of using methods (unprocessed, alkali and acid processed). the results sho...

Results of previous investigations indicated that one of the early and essential events occurring in the apical meristem of Sinapis alba L. during the transition to flowering is the release to mitosis of the G(2) nuclei; the trigger to mitosis is generated in the leaves and its movement out of the leaves begins around 16 hours after the start of the inductive treatment. The mitotic wave in the ...

When the fricative noise of a fricative-vowel syllable is replaced by a noise from a different vocalic context, listeners experience delays in identifying both the fricative and the vowel (Whalen, 1984): mismatching the information in the fricative noise for vowel and consonant identity with the information in the vocalic segment appears to hamper processing. This effect was argued to be due to...

Sir, I was not surprised that Dr Flytström and co-workers failed to cultivate Candida in the intertriginous areas of psoriatics (1). As I showed, over 30 years ago, Candida acts as a primer and disappears when Gram-negative bacteria come along to replace it (2). This does not mean that the yeast is unable to do harm to the skin. Once applied on the folding skin where occlusion is provided, it p...

It’s not easy being empathic. However, unlike snowboarding or yodeling or decoupage, most people manage to pick up empathy skills naturally without the aid of special lessons or designated practice sessions. Knowing what someone else is thinking and feeling allows people to coordinate their activities, something that is useful and necessary in interpersonal interactions. Like any skill, empathy...

W e present an optimal parallel algorithm t o construct the well-separated pair decomposition of a point set P in Zd. W e show how this leads to a deterministic opt imal O(1ogn) t ime parallel algorithm for finding the k nearest neighbors of each point in P, where k is a constant. W e discuss several additional applications of the well-separated pair decomposition for which we can derive fas t ...
