The aim of this study was to evaluate the regional differences in the surface temperature of Naked Neck hens that were subjected to different temperatures in a semi-arid environment. The surface temperature was measured in four body regions (face, neck, legs and feathered area) of 60 Naked Neck hens. The following environmental variables were measured at the center of the shed: the black globe ...

in this paper, our purpose is twofold. firstly, the tensor andresiduum operations on $l-$nested systems are introduced under thecondition of complete residuated lattice. then we show that$l-$nested systems form a complete residuated lattice, which isprecisely the classical isomorphic object of complete residuatedpower set lattice. thus the new representation theorem of$l-$subsets on complete re...

The fate of India ink particles and polystyrene latex beads injected into the dermis and subcutis of the skin of the auricle and back in mice was observed with the naked eye, light microscopy and electron microscopy. The tattoo patterns made by injected ink particles remained essentially unchanged for life as observed with the naked eye. India ink particles and latex beads were endocytosed by f...

Background: Enterococci have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infections and within this group, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium cause the majority of human and livestock enterococcal infections. In this article, we tried to determine antibiotics and metals resistance patterns of E. faecalis and E. faecium strains. Methods: One hundred sixty different strains of E. faecalis...

Cationic liposome-mediated gene transfection is a promising method for gene therapy. In this study, the transfection efficiency and histological patterns were evaluated in rat lung after intravenous administration via femoral vein of naked plasmid DNA, naked plasmid DNA with pretreatment of DOTAP, and DOTAP-cholesterol-plasmid DNA complex. Plasmid DNA encoding bacterial LacZ gene was used. For ...

PURPOSE Preexisting antiviral antibodies in cancer patients can quickly neutralize oncolytic measles virus (MV) and decrease its antitumor potency. In contrast to "naked" viruses, cell-associated viruses are protected from antibody neutralization. Hence, we hypothesized that measles virotherapy of ovarian cancer in measles-immune mice might be superior if MV-infected mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)...

The furor and public outrage surrounding the release of a fictionalized video in which naked women are hunted down and shot with paintball guns (“Hunting for Bambi”) inspired this paper. Arguing that distressing representations of hunting as a sexually charged activity are resilient popular culture images, this paper examines the theoretical framework that links hunting with sex and women with ...

We present a simple brane-world model in five dimensions. In this model we do not need any fine-tuning between the five dimensional cosmological constant and the brane tension to obtain four dimensional flat Minkowski space. The spacetime of our solution has no naked singularities. Further the compactification scale of the fifth direction is automatically determined. [email protected]...

This paper examines the methods for identifying and choosing a QA collaboration tool, whichcan serve to support and reinforce process for an organization. The following points will be addressed: • Introduction increasing importance of quality and what tools can facilitate quality • Definition of the term QA collaboration tool what is it and what can it do for you • How to select a QA collab...
