successful pasture-based milk production systems pivot on balancing dairy cows’ feed requirements with seasonal and annual fluctuations in pasture production. in order to maximise cow production from grazing dairy systems, it is necessary to reach an efficient utilization of grazed grass for feeding cows and the development of appropriate grazing management systems designed to maximize daily pa...

Spatially heterogeneous distribution of interspecific competitors and intraspecific aggregation of offspring ramets may affect the growth and size structure of clonal plant populations, but these have been rarely studied. We conducted a greenhouse experiment in which we grew a population of eight offspring ramets (plants) of the stoloniferous clonal plant Hydrocotyle vulgaris aggregately or seg...

Electrospinning is a versatile method for the generation of ultrathin fibers forming highly porous mats. To extend technique to preceramic polymers, rheological properties SiCN-precursor/solvent solutions are investigated systematically control and predict non-woven morphology during electrospinning as described in article number 2100321 by Luiz F. B. Ribeiro, Günter Motz, Sergio Y. G. González...

Understanding how invasive plants may alter predator avoidance behaviors is important for granivorous rodents because their foraging can trigger ripple effects in trophic webs. Previous research has shown that European beach grass Ammophila arenaria, an invasive species in coastal California, affects the predation of other seeds by the rodents Microtus californicus, Peromyscus maniculatus, and ...

Introduction:The prevalence of atopic diseases has increased in recent decades dramatically. The most common aeroallergens in Northeastern Iran have not been fully defined. Define the most common aeroallergens in allergic patients based on the skin prick test (SPT) was aimed in this investigation.Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study enrolled 1,006 allergic patients (aged 1–86 years)...

As Koblitz curves were generalized to hyperelliptic Koblitz curves for faster point multiplication by Günter,et al [10], we extend the recent work of Gallant,et al [8] to hyperelliptic curves. So the extended method for speeding point multiplication applies to a much larger family of hyperelliptic curves over finite fields that have efficiently-computable endomorphisms. For this special family ...

From the results of a large series of calorimetric studies with artificially dried grasses (Armstrong, 1964), it was found that the value of a dried grass as an energy source for sheep could be predicted from considerations of its species and its chemical composition (Armstrong, Blaxter & Waite, 1964). The question arises whether the nutritive value of fresh grass can be inferred from that of d...
