An empirical approach for the retrieval of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO) photolysis frequencies from measurements of global irradiance is presented in this work. Four months of synchronous measurements of actinic flux and global irradiance performed in Thessaloniki, Greece by a Bentham spectroradiometer were used to extract polynomials for the conversion of global irradiance to...

Six multiparous, ruminally cannulated Holstein cows (46 DIM, 584 kg of BW) and 6 primiparous Holstein cows (35 DIM, 506 kg of BW) were used in two 6 x 6 Latin squares with 21-d periods to examine the effects of level of non-fiber carbohydrate, source of fibrous carbohydrate, and Aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract on intake, digestion, and milk production. Treatments were 42 and 36% non-fib...

abstract background: the disk diffusion method for identification of yeasts species was performed based on different but distinct susceptibilities of yeasts spp. to chemicals: janus green, ethidium bromide, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, brilliant green, cycloheximide and rhodamine 6g. methods: atotal of 568 iranian soldiers went under study for isolation and identification of yeast speci...

fuller, in 1989, described probiotic microorganisms as “a live microbial feed supplement,which beneficially affects the host animal, by improving its intestinal microbial balance”.saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii (s.boulardii) is an accurate probiotic yeast idol.the detection and budding of s.boulardiiis firmly related to the impression of healthinessto promote microorganisms from foodst...

endophytes are important resources of bioactive compounds and due to their potential in theproduction of secondary metabolites, they are regarded as a potential reservoir ofbiotechnological applications. in this study, the bioactivity of bacteria and yeasts endophytesresiding in thymus sp. was evaluated. during april to october 2011, symptomless and healthytissues of thymus sp. were collected. ...

Upcycling and repurposing of side streams from food processing have become a necessity to merge our world into more sustainable future. Brewers spent grain (BSG) is highly abundant nutrient rich by-product the brewing industry. The aim this study was investigate effect fermentation on BSG (FBSG) while also examining effects including fibre FBSG ingredients techno-functional nutritional properti...

Four West African Dwarf (WAD) grower bucks averaging 6 kg in weight and aged between 5-6 months of age were used in a digestive trial to determine the intake and digestibility of raw or processed pigeon pea seed meal based diets. The diets designated RPBD, SPBD, TPBD and BPBD were formulated from cassava peel, palm kernel cake, brewers dry grain, bone meal and common salt to contain 15% of raw,...
