The complex, multicameral lungs of the Nile crocodile are characterized by rows of tubular chambers, which in cranial and ventral lung regions are broad and saclike. The inner surface of the chambers is enhanced by cubicles (ediculae), the capillary-bearing walls of which are often perforated. Extrabronchial communication among chambers is infrequent. The ediculae end in a network of myoelastic...

Production of chicken meat is an important branch of food industry. Generally, poultry meat farmers aim to produce birds with superior body weight and feed conversion ratio. However, in line with current developments, there are other parameters that must to be taken into account such as lower body fat deposition and improvement in the nutrient composition of products corresponding to consumer r...

This note introduces practical set invariance notions for physically interconnected, discrete–time systems, subject to additive but bounded disturbances. We offer a concept which allows us to investigate invariance properties for each of the subsystems separately and, hence, to study invariance properties of the overall system in a sensible and decentralized way. The analysis part makes use of ...

Background: Detection of sperm parameters based on conventional methods, immediately after thawing, have been revealed sperm capacity to in vivo and in vitro fertilization. But this evaluation is not fully reliable because of long journey of sperm during female genital tract to reach the oocyte and fertilize it. Therefore, analyzing postthawed sperm parameters after incubation is more beneficia...

Ideologically, U.S. crime control policy is stridently conservative. That’s important for two reasons. First, it is concerned with the attempt to control and prevent criminal behavior. It has little or no interest in producing a theoretical elaboration of crime and criminality. Second, "solutions" to the "problem of crime" are couched in terms of a clear separation between criminals/non-crimina...

Comparing random lattice, naive and Wilson fermions in two dimensional abelian background gauge field, we show that the doublers suppressed in the free field case are revived for random lattices in the continuum limit unless gauge interactions are implemented in a non–invariant way.

in this paper we investigate the generalized hyers-ulamstability of the following cauchy-jensen type functional equation$$qbig(frac{x+y}{2}+zbig)+qbig(frac{x+z}{2}+ybig)+qbig(frac{z+y}{2}+xbig)=2[q(x)+q(y)+q(z)]$$ in non-archimedean spaces
