   A low carbon Al-killed Ti-added steel was produced in Mobarakeh Steel Complex in Iran. Mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. Dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. It was found that the addition of small amounts of Ti increas...

Carcass data from one side of 610 steers born from 1988 to 1990 in Cycle IV of the Germ Plasm Evaluation research program were analyzed to develop means for carcass traits and retail product percentages at two fat trim levels (.76 and .00 cm) by yield grade categories. Weights of subcutaneous (s.c.) fat and intermuscular (i.e.m.) fat were recorded separately at each trim level. Quadratic regres...

Chianina is the tallest and heaviest beef cattle breed in the world and 1 of the most appreciated breeds on the Italian meat market. A selection program focused on improving Chianina carcass quality could provide a further economic advantage to Chianina breeders. However, the current European carcass scoring system [i.e., the SEUROP (S=superior, E=excellent, U= very good, R=good, O=fair, and P=...

The aim of this paper was to examine the influence of sex, age and nutrition system on mass and yield of major parts in broiler chicken carcass from different genotypes. Research material was one-day chicken of Hubbard Classic and Cobb 500 genotypes fattened 49 days in production conditions. The chicken used two nutrition systems. The first nutrition system had higher level of energy and E : P ...

conclusions this study showed the importance of considering syndrome differentiation and temperaments in interpreting the effect of p. granatum peels extract on ulcerative colitis. results therapeutic response was significantly higher in patients with hot temperament compared to patients with cold temperament in the p. granatum group (1.916 ± 0.492 versus -0.500 ± 0.500, p = 0.029). methods sev...

twenty four male lambs divided into four groups and were allocated to 90, 105, 120 and 135 days of fattening periods.at the end of each fattening period, lambs were slaughtered. the percentage of cold carcass on the basis of empty body weight in the mentioned periods were 57.0 ± 0.94, 57.5 ±1.7, 59.9 ±3.3 and 62.2 ±4.4,respectively(p
