An experiment was carried out to assess the effects of xylanase supplementation on the performance, net energy and gut microflora of broilers fed a wheat-based diet. Day-old male broiler chicks were allocated to two dietary treatments. Each treatment was composed of six replicate cages of seven broilers per cage. The diets were wheat-based and offered as mash. The treatments included i) basal d...

To assess the effect of single low energy-low protein diet with normally required calorie: protein ratio against normal dietary NRC 1994 requirements in summer season on laying and reproductive state of Japanese quails. Forty-two days old, 60 adult and sexed Japanese quails were divided into two equal groups, 5 replicates, and 6 birds each with a sex ratio 1:5. A laying and reproductive trial e...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of crossbred naked-neck and frizzle cockerel genotypes namely: (i) Na/naF/f, (ii) Na/naf/f (iii) na/naF/f and (iv) na/naf/f. These crossbred second generation cockerels were generated from a reciprocal crossing between crossbred heterozygous naked-neck (50% indigenous naked-neck and 50% Lohman Brown) and frizzle (50% indigenous frizzle a...

Resumen. Web-based applications to assemble web resources, like Yahoo Pipes or Netvibes, are emerging as a basis for a new wave of Internet applications that bring semantic web to the general public. Nevertheless, technologies and conceptual tools that allow ordinary users to combine application functionality are immature. There are some formal models but most of them are ontologies that do not...

A total of 108 day-old chicks of hilly chicken were randomly allocated to either pellet form of high protein-energy diet (PHPE) or mash form of low protein-energy diet (MLPE) dietary group having 3 replications in each group. Birds were reared in cages and studied upto 10 weeks of age to compare their growth, feed efficiency and meat production under two feeding regimens. Six birds from each fe...

This paper presents the design consideration of high order digital AZ modulators used as modulus controller for fractional-N frequency synthesizer. A third-order MASH structure (MASH 1-2) is designed and implemented which allows for the input to operate over 75% of the input adder capacity. The number of the output levels is reduced to two bits. The circuit was verified through simulation, ASIC...

1. Goal: high resolution and large bandwidth ADCs. 2. ADCs: oversampling, noise shaping, (one-bit quantizer); trade speed for resolution; trade analog-circuit accuracy for digital-circuit complexity. 3. Architecture: cascaded 2-0 delta-sigma (2-0 MASH) ADC; p robust stability and speed; high sensitivity to analog-circuit imperfections. 4. Issues of the MASH ADCs: designing the structure; handli...

Sledgehammer integrates automatic theorem provers in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. A key component, the relevance filter, heuristically ranks the thousands of facts available and selects a subset, based on syntactic similarity to the current goal. We introduce MaSh, an alternative that learns from successful proofs. New challenges arose from our “zero-click” vision: MaSh should integrate se...
