Merino ewes (n = 300) grazing on sparse annual pasture and supplemented with hay were given a CIDR (controlled internal drug release) device to synchronise oestrus. Ewes in Groups 1 and 2 received 750 g/head of lupin grain each day for 9 days prior to the expected oestrus and ewes in Group 3 received a hay-only supplement. After joining ewes in Group 1 continued to receive the lupin supplement ...

The objectives of this study were 1) to determine the effects of adding a CIDR to the Ovsynch protocol on plasma concentrations of estradiol-17β and progesterone and conception in dairy cows with cystic ovarian diseases and 2) to examine associations among the estradiol-17β and progesterone concentrations and conception. Cows were diagnosed as having cystic ovarian diseases if they were found t...

The aim of this paper is to propose a novel computer based product classification, component detection and tracking for demanufacturing and disassembly process. This is achieved by introducing a series of automated and sequential product scanning, component identification, image analysis, and sorting – leading to development of a Bill of Material (BOM). The produced BOM can then be associated w...

Nowadays, the commonly used table lookup scheme for IP routing is based on the so-called classless interdomain routing (CIDR). With CIDR, routers must find out the best matching prefix (BMP) for IP packets forwarding, which complicates the IP lookup. Since the IP lookup performance is a major design issue for the new generation routers, in this article we investigate the properties of the routi...

This paper describes an operationally simple deracemization process of aldehydes and ketones. This new crystallization-induced dynamic resolution (CIDR) protocol allows for nearly complete conversion of the racemic mixture into one enantiomer. Crystallization of imines derived from racemic ketones or aldehydes 1 and trans-(1R,2R)-1-amino-6-nitroindan-2-ol (2) afforded diastereomerically pure, c...

The current growth of the BGP routing tables [15] and Forwarding Information bases (FIB) on core routers worries several operators and vendors [21]. Another issue is the growth of the number of BGP messages that need to be processed by BGP routers [16]. This is not the first time that the Internet is confronted with such problems. The most successful solution has been the introduction of Classl...

A study was done to evaluate the effect of using progesterone (P4) intravaginal device (CIDR: controlled internal drug-releasing dispenser) to synchronise the return to oestrus of previously timed inseminated (TAI) dairy heifers, and to evaluate embryo survival and pregnancy rate (PR) in the return to oestrus heifers. At the onset of the artificial insemination (AI) breeding period (day -9), he...

Keçilerde, üreme mevsimi dışında yapılan senkronizasyon uygulamaları sonrasında karşılaşılan embriyonik kayıpların %70’i çiftleşme sonrası görülen luteal yetersizlikler nedeniyle şekillenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; oluşan önlenmesi için; anöstrus sezonunda GnRH ya da progesteron uygulamalarının gebelik oranları üzerine etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır. Çalışmada herhangi infertilite sorunu bulun...
