We investigate the occurrence of a coronal dimming using a combination of high resolution spectro-polarimetric, spectral and broadband images which span from the deep photosphere into the corona. These observations reinforce the belief that coronal dimmings, or transient coronal holes as they are also known, are indeed the locations of open magnetic flux in the corona resulting from the launch ...

Periodization theory has, over the past seven decades, emerged as the preeminent training planning paradigm. The philosophical underpinnings of periodization theory can be traced back to the integration of diverse shaping influences, whereby coaching beliefs and traditions were blended with historically available scientific insights and contextualized against pervading social planning models. S...

Nature is a home handywoman. Constrained by evolution, she does the job with the tools at hand, using a screwdriver for a hammer if necessary. This is well illustrated by the way particular cell signaling systems, such as that mediated by Wingless (Wg) in Drosophila and its Wnt homologs in vertebrates, direct diverse developmental decisions. The Wg/Wnt signaling system has been the subject of i...

In this paper, we described the solution method, system implementation, critical technology, etc. of “The Construction and Realization of Digitization Platform for Precision Feeding of Commercial Pig”. What’s more, we pointed out the architecture main functions of the platform and critical technology taken to achieve the system in detail. The platform includes the following modules: production ...

As ethical and environmental concerns regarding current poultry production systems arise, consumers look for alternatives. This study assesses consumers’ preferences chicken meat of dual-purpose breeds (DPBs), regionally produced feedstuff, specific breeds, along with attitudes social norms that explain these preferences. We conducted an online survey (n = 934) including a discrete choice exper...

Abstract Giant prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is a freshwater fishery product that requires further development. However, the high cost of commercial feed one challenges in growing giant prawns. One approach to addressing this issue use local feedstuff as an alternative ingredient. The main obstacle using limitation (anti-nutrition, crude fiber, etc.) fermentation technology can overcome. goa...

Lysine is an important indispensable amino acid, and describing the lysine content of a food or feedstuff provides useful information about nutritional value. However, when a food or feedstuff is subjected to heating the lysine present can be altered to nutritionally unavailable derivatives. These derivatives can revert back to lysine during the acid hydrolysis step used in amino acid analysis ...

One of the main constraints hindering the increase of animal production in semi-arid regions of Africa is the inadequate supply of nutrients during the dry season. Incorporation of alternative feed resources in ruminant diets during this period could be a viable approach to overcome these limitations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of muiumba (Baikiaea plurijuga...

BACKGROUND Aflatoxin M(1) (AFM(1)) is the metabolite of aflatoxin B1 (AFB(1)) and is found in milk when lactating animals are fed with contaminated feedstuff. The presence of AFM(1) in milk, pose a major risk for humans especially kids as it can have immunosuppressive, mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects. The present study is aimed to investigate the occurrence of AFM(1) in subsidiz...
