Effect of feeding on linseed oil (LO)-enriched Artemia was investigated on growth, survival and stress resistance of tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae. Larvae were fed by LO-enriched (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %) as well as non-enriched Artemia nauplii for 14 d, followed by 14 d feeding on non-enriched Artemia. Fish fed on enriched nauplii showed significant increase in growth performance at both 14th...

During the development of a new regiospecific synthetic methodology for 1,5 dihydroxy- 9,lO-anthraquinone, it was observed that (anthrufin) preparative TLC of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-9,lO-dihyd roxy- 1,5-anthracenedione on silica gel produced a well-defined 1:l complex of the dione and an aerial oxidation product of it, the quinone dimethide 1,2,3,4,5,6,7- hexahydro-9,lO-dihydroxy-1 ,5-...

Introduction: The formation and evolution of culture in organizations are related to the learning experiences of their members over time. In this regard, the present study was conducted to empirically investigate the correlation relationship between the Learning Organization (LO) and safety culture concepts in Iran’s nuclear and radiological industries. Material and Methods: A theoretical mode...

In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the ...

The effects of captopril and angiotensin II on adrenergic neurotransmission have been studied in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). In a pithed rat preparation, vasoconstrictor responses evoked by spinal stimulation were greater in SHR than WKY (p less than 0.01). Captopril reduced responses to electrical stimulation and this reduction was greater in the SHR (p l...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impacts of diets supplemented with different lipid sources on growth performance, body composition, fatty acid profile, and hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity of juvenile black sea bream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli (initial mean weight, 1.1±0.02g). Four isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated with either fish oil (FO), soybean oil (SO),...

Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...

Plastic pollution, largely perceived by the public as a major risk factor that strongly impacts sea life and preservation, has an even higher negative impact on terrestrial ecosystems. Indeed, quantitative data about plastic contamination agricultural soils are progressively emerging in alarming ways. One of main contributors to this pollution involves mismanagement waste (APW), i.e., residues ...
