the present study was done to study the effects of water hypericum perforatum extract (whpe) on performance, abdominal fat, carcass characteristics, and blood biochemical parameters of broilers with 160 day-old ross 308. broilers were randomly distributed among the16 experimental units of four treatments with four replications (10 birds in each replicate) for 42 days. the treatments were includ...

the effects of various methods of probiotic administration in hatchery and on prevention of salmonella enteritidis (se) in broiler chicks was investigated. a total of 150 salmonella free day old chicks (ross 308) were assigned to five experimental groups including control and four in-hatchery probiotic administration method groups comprised of: in ovo injection, oral gavage, spray and vent lip ...

BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation and a risk predictor of cardiovascular disease. Current CRP assays are focused on the quantification of the CRP levels as pentamers. However, CRP can be present as other multimeric forms. There will be a market need to measure the CRP multimeric structure in addition to the levels in human populations. To meet this need, we investi...

After the recent introduction of preventive detention in Germany, the Swiss national council has passed a similar law. In both these countries, as well as other nations, there is a controversial debate on post-sentence preventive detention of offenders who are found to be very dangerous during enforcement of sentence. Empirical results as to if and how far post-sentence preventive detention is ...

We present in this article a detailed analysis of Böhm’s theorem, explained completely constructively as an algorithmic development in the functional language ML.

We give details of the “reducibility” part of our proof of the Four Color theorem [1]. 29 March 1995 Revised 27 January 1997 ∗ Research partially performed under a consulting agreement with Bellcore, and partially supported by DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903, USA. 1 Partially supported by NSF under Grant No. DMS-8903132 and by ONR under Grant No. N0001492-J-19...

In the LFT approach to Exact Real Arithmetic, we study the question how many argument digits are needed to produce a certain number of result digits. We present upper and lower bounds for many simple functions and operations, and for exponential and square root.

We let G(n,m) denote the set of r-uniform hypergraphs with n vertices and m edges, and f (n,p,s) is the smallest m such that every member of G(n,m) contains a member of G(p,s). In this paper we are interested in fixed values r,p and s for which f (n,p,s) grows quadratically with n. A probabilistic construction of Brown, Erdős and T. Sós ([2]) implies that f (n,s(r−2)+2, s)=Ω(n). In the other di...
