By extending a mechanistic model for the tick-borne pathogen systemic transmission with consideration of seasonal climate impacts, host movement as well co-feeding route, this paper proposes novel modeling framework describing spatial dynamics diseases. The net reproduction number tick growth and basic disease are derived, which predict global population transmission. Numerical simulations not ...

Among all catalytic natural gas valorization processes, methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) still has a great potential to be utilized at an industrial level. Although the use of Mo/H-ZSM-5 as MDA catalyst was first reported almost three decades ago, process is yet industrialized, because its inherent challenges. In order improve overall performance and lifetime, co-feeding water constitutes pro...

BACKGROUND This marmoset study addresses concerns about feeding human male infants with soy formula milk (SFM). METHODS From age 4 to 5 days, seven male co-twin sets were fed standard formula milk (SMA) or SFM for 5-6 weeks; blood samples were subsequently collected at 10-week intervals. Testes from co-twins killed at 120-138 weeks were fixed for cell counts. RESULTS SFM- and SMA-fed twins ...

In order to understand the bioaccumulation of essential metals in filter-feeding mollusks living in soft sediments, the uptake and depuration kinetics of three elements (Co, Mn and Zn) were investigated in the king scallop Pecten maximus exposed via seawater, food, or sediment, using radiotracer techniques. The scallops were collected in April 2005 in the Pertuis Breton, France and acclimated t...

The current study was conducted to evaluate effects of sequential or wet feeding programs subsequent to and early meal feeding regime on performance, carcass characteristics and humoral immunity in broiler chicks. 192 Ross 308 chicks (seven-day old) were allocated to four treatments at four replicates (12 chicks per plot) based on a Completely Randomized Design. Treatments were included: contro...

We have studied the effect of different supports (CeO2, ZrO2, SiC, SiO2 and Al2O3) on catalytic performance phase stability Co3O4 nanoparticles during preferential oxidation CO (CO-PrOx) under H2-rich gas environments temperatures. Our results show that Co3O4/ZrO2 has superior activity, but transforms to Co0 consequently forms CH4 at relatively low The least reduced methanation active catalyst ...

a study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of protein to black baladi breed kids. weanling baladi kids (n=18; 75 to 90 days old) were selected and individually housed at our experimental farm. kids were divided randomly to one of the three treatments for 12 weeks. the three dietary treatments were: t1: control ration, formulated according to nrc to cover the protei...

The high moisture content of wet distillers’ grains with solubles (WDGS) has limited its feeding value despite the relatively nutritive value. co–ensiling whole–plant maize, as a complementary feed, was evaluated for growing lambs by formulating diets whose contents were: whole plant maize silage (WPMS) + sunflower oilcake meal (SOM) (control, WPMS SOM), dried (WPMS DDGS), and (WPM) co–ensiled ...
