Traditional poultry production has changed to a considerable industry after few decades. Now, poultry industry is one of the main sectors to obtain the required protein for human consumption. Prediction of the weight and number of eggs according to economic traits can improve the efficiency of production and the profit of producers. In present study, the weight and number of eggs in Mazandaran ...

The ostrich industry experiences a high rate of embryonic mortalities during artificial incubation of eggs. Embryonic deaths were studied from data recorded on 37,740 fertile eggs incubated artificially during the 1998-2005 breeding seasons. Roughly 10,000 eggs that sustained embryonic mortalities were classified according to the stage and nature of death, i.e. before 21 days of incubation, aft...

Parasitoid behaviors are predicted by dynamic optimization models based on variables that describe the insects physiology and surrounding environment. Many of these models assume an interaction between the cost of reproduction and longevity. However, the details of this of the trade off function are still undescribed. This paper investigates the effects of egg production on longevity in a synov...

‎a set $s$ of vertices of a graph $g=(v,e)$ without isolated vertex‎ ‎is a {em total dominating set} if every vertex of $v(g)$ is‎ ‎adjacent to some vertex in $s$‎. ‎the {em total domatic number} of‎ ‎a graph $g$ is the maximum number of total dominating sets into‎ ‎which the vertex set of $g$ can be partitioned‎. ‎we show that the‎ ‎total domatic number of a random $r$-regular graph is almost‎...

Experiments were conducted to determine whether Trichogramma platneri Nagarkatti manifested a somatic-gametic trade-off and whether it was affected by host availability and host size. Large wasps produced on Trichoplusia ni Hübner and limited to five or 15 T. ni eggs daily, produced a similar number of progeny as wasps offered hosts from emergence. Similar results were obtained when they were d...

The effect of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus was studied in mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni. Faecal egg excretion was lower in diabetic mice but worm load and total amount of eggs in the intestine tissue were equal to the control group. Evaluation of an oogram showed a great number of immature dead eggs and a low number of mature eggs in diabetic mice. It was therefore conclude...
