this experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of different levels of tomato pomace (dtp) with different multi enzymes on the performance and egg quality of laying hens at the first phase of production. in this experiment 432 hens were used in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 4×4, with four levels of tomato pomace (0, 4, 8 and 12) and different enzymes (without...

BACKGROUND In developed countries, the use of Hib conjugate vaccines has led to the near disappearance of invasive Hib disease, but costs have limited its use in developing countries. In order to identify more economical vaccination schedules, we carried out a trial to evaluate the immunogenicity of an alternative two-dose PRP-T regimen, based on a previous report in which carrier priming could...

This paper describes how a reconfigurable computing engine can be used to accelerate DTP functions. We show how PostScript rendering can be accelerated using a commercially available FPGA co-processor card. Our method relies on dynamically swapping in pre-computed circuits to accelerate the compute intensive portions of PostScript rendering .

  In 1974, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) to ensure that all children have access to routinely recommended vaccines. Since then, global coverage with the four core vaccines (Bacille calmette guérin vaccine [for protection against tuberculosis], Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine [DTP], Polio vaccine, and Measles vaccine) has increase...

BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that childhood vaccines have effects that extend beyond their target disease. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of routine childhood vaccines on bacterial carriage in the nasopharynx. METHODS A cohort of children from rural Gambia was recruited at birth and followed up for one year. Nasopharyngeal swabs were taken immediately after b...

Conventionally, toxicogenic strains of C. diphtheria, C. tetani and B. pertussis are grown on a media of animal origin for production of DTP group of vaccines. This media poses various risks such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), microbial contamination and allergic reactions. To avoid such risks, media containing nutrients of vegetative origin are substituted. The present study involv...

Nickel(II) of 0.04-1.4 mmol dm-3 and palladium(II) of 1-32 μmol dm-3 were extracted quantitatively into chloroform from the aqueous phases containing 0.2 mol dm-3 and 2 mmol dm-3 0,0'-diethyldithiophosphate(dtp-) at pH 1-7 and 1-13, and determined at 385 nm (c=8.4x 102 mol-' dm3 cm-') and 298 nm (e=2.9x 104 mol-' dm3 cm-'), respectively. The determination of nickel was affected with many divers...

We have administered the cytokines interleukin 2 (IL-2), alpha-interferon (IFN-alpha), and gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) to mice and measured the alterations in hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activities. For comparative purposes and to understand the mechanism of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis (DTP) vaccine-induced inhibition of drug metabolism, we also studied the effects of vac...

The reviewed volume is one output of the Interreg DTP Monumentalized Early Iron Age Landscapes in Danube river basin (acronym Iron-Age-Danube) program, which involved professionals from Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia.

In this paper, we present a Mobile Thread Programming Model (MTPM), a model to simulate the persistence of a migratory thread, to overcome the problem of coexistence of mobility, persistence and autonomy for mobile agents. An advantage of MTPM over other code mobility paradigms is that the model simulates strong mobility at the application-level rather than at the system-level as used in many s...
