The crop nutrition has a well-defined effect on yield and quality of forage crops. Among various essential macro nutrients, the nitrogen has a key function in improving forage yield and crude protein contents but demand of crop for nitrogen varies with the cultivars. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50 kg ha) on forage yield and qual...

During the early 1930’s topology developed some of its most important notions. The first international conference on the young subject took place in Moscow 1935. Fibre spaces were introduced by H. Seifert (1907–1996). By 1950 the notions of fibre space and fibre bundle had become central in the study of algebraic topology. In that year in Bruxelles, and in 1953 at Cornell University, internatio...

Over the last three decades extensive research has been carried out towards the design and development of fibre optic hydrophones. The inherent advantages of fibre optic sensing technology, like high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, intrinsic safety to water leakage, remote measurement capability etc. makes it an ideal choice for underwater acoustic sensing[1, 2]. The init...

The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between dietary fibre intake and some clinical indices, blood biochemical variables and the incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancers in France, taking advantage of an ongoing cohort, the Supplementation en Vitamines et Minéraux AntioXydants (SU.VI.MAX) intervention study. This preliminary report provides data on dietary fibre intak...

A review of passive components based on optical microfibers is presented. KeywordsOptical fibre tapers; optical microfibers, fibre devices, optical fibre nanowires

BACKGROUND In some studies, high intake of dietary fibre has been associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer. The present study aimed to compare physiological effects of three legume kernel fibres and citrus fibre on blood lipids (primary outcome: LDL cholesterol) and colonic health. METHODS Ninety-two subjects were recruited for the double-blind, controlled crossover trial. Seventy-ei...

This paper reviews genetics of fibre production and fleece characteristics in small ruminants, Angora rabbit and South American camelids with a special distinction between single-coated (SC) and double-coated (DC) species. Considering the biology of fibre production, there are variations in coat composition and structure, fibre growth pattern and fibre structure and quality between these two ma...

The standardization work has been successfully achieved under the leadership of CableLabs, with the successful launch of DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 products, and the finalization of the DOCSIS 2.0 [1] specification. Definition of an interoperable Voice over IP architecture covering signaling, provisioning, security has been achieved [2], allowing MSO to deploy data and voice access systems on an econom...

Optimised compression of femtosecond fibre laser pulses in highly nonlinear fibre is demonstrated. Specifically reported are compressed pulse durations below 30 fs using a simple setup where a single sub10 cm segment of highly nonlinear fibre is directly spliced to the output pigtail of a commercial femtosecond fibre laser. The compressed pulse quality is confirmed through frequency resolved op...
