In my last paper on this important subject, lack of space prevented me from enlarging on the question of the uniqueness of the soul. I hinted that one model, the one that I favour, allows for somatic rearrangements of the soul, permitting the emergence of individuality just like that possessed by the immune system. Professor Dolcecaro of the Istituto di Immunologia in Pesto, has sent me a somew...

We conducted two experiments to evaluate the effects of corn supplementation, source of corn, and corn particle size on performance and nutrient utilization of lactating dairy cows. In experiment 1, treatments were 1) direct-cut grass-legume forage without supplement, 2) direct-cut forage plus 10 kg DM of ground dry shelled corn-based concentrate, and 3) direct-cut forage plus 10 kg DM of coars...

in order to study the effect of planting pattern and nitrogen application on barley and faba bean yield and quality of forage in intercropping, an experiment was conducted on farm of agricultural and natural resources faculty of gonbad kavous university as factorial based on rcbd with three replications in 2012-2013. planting pattern consisted of five levels, i.e. sole barley, intercropping of ...

A 3-yr, multi-state survey of farmers who had planted transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn was conducted to evaluate perceptions of Bt corn performance and its utility as a management option for European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner). A questionnaire was sent to farmers in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania who had grown Bt corn during the growing sea...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of extrusion of corn on nutrient digestibility, metabolizable energy and performance in poultry under tropical environment. In experiment 1, twenty one male broilers were allotted in an individual metabolic cage and fed mash diets with: 1) basal diet containing 45.7% dextrose; 2) 40% substitution of normal corn for dextrose and 3) 40% subst...

Insect-protected corn hybrids containing Cry insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis have protection from target pests and provide effective management of insect resistance. MON 89034 hybrids have been developed that produce both the Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2 proteins, which provide two independent modes of insecticidal action against the European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis )...
