In sheep industry, pregnancy rate after artificial insemination (AI) declines due to the complex anatomy of the cervix in ewes, such that it might prevent effective intrauterine insemination. At estrus, cervical relaxation occurs to some degree in ewes, which is regulated by the changes in the levels of reproductive hormones. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of estradiol and intravenous...

The tourism industry is characterized by ever-increasing competition, causing destinations to seek new methods to attract tourists. Traditionally, a decision to visit a destination is interpreted, in part, as a rational calculation of the costs/benefits of a set of alternative destinations, which were derived from external information sources, including e-WOM (word-of-mouth) or travelers' blogs...

in this study records of 15723, 12108 and 5236 zel sheep for birth weight (bw), weaning weight (ww) and 6-month weight (6mw) traits were used. data has been collected by the jahad-e-keshavarzi organization of province of mazandaran during 1994-2009. the heritability of direct and maternal of growth traits was estimated using the univariate analysis with restricted maximum likelihood (reml). in ...

in this study, the chemical composition of the tea wastes determined. the value of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fiber, calcium and phosphorous 95, 94, 13.3, 23.1, 0.011 and 0.29 percent, respectively. in the experiment of digestibility by animal, five experimental rations (including tea waste and alfalfa in the proportion of 0:100, 10:90, 20:80, 25:75 and 30:70 percent) and ...

In this paper, we give a number of examples of pairs of non-compact surfaces S 1 and S 2 which are isoscattering, to be defined below. Our basic construction is based on a version of Sunada's Theorem [Su], which has been refined using the technique of transplantation ([Be], [Zel]) so as to be applicable to isoscattering. See [BGP] and [BP] for this approach, which is reviewed below. Our aim her...

We present angular power spectra of the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropy due to fluctuations of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect through clusters of galaxies. A contribution from the correlation among clusters is especially focused on, which has been neglected in the previous analyses. Employing the evolving linear bias factor based on the Press-Schechter formalism, we find th...

We present an analysis of an 8-arcmin diameter map of the area around the galaxy cluster Abell 1835 from jiggle-map observations at a wavelength of 1.1 mm using the Bolometric Camera (Bolocam) mounted on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO). The data are well described by a model including a extended Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) emission from the cluster gas plus emission from the cluster cen...

A value of the Hubble constant has been determined from a comparison of the X-ray properties and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect of the distant rich cluster of galaxies CL 0016+16. The cluster, as imaged by the ROSAT PSPC, is significantly elliptical and we present the techniques we have developed to include this in our analysis. Assuming a smooth, isothermal gas distribution, we obtain a value H0 = ...
