Four multiparous lactating Holstein cows fitted with rumen cannulae were fed diets varying in the amount and source of rumen-degradable carbohydrates (starch vs. sucrose) to examine their effects on rumen fermentation, nitrogen metabolism and lactation performance. A 4×4 Latin square with four diets and four periods of 28 days each was employed. Corn starch and sucrose were added to diets and c...

The aim of this study was to produce fish protein concentrate from marine Cynoglossus bilineatus, the brought local Basrah market and dried in oven at 025 °C for 06 h. chemical composition were 48.62 % (N×6.25), 19.49 fat 19.95 ash, while processed 79.56 6.38 9.51 ash. obtain yield 67.58 fish. product characterized with light brown acceptable fishy smell, also showed good strong stability after...

Batch experiment was carried out in a simulated thermophilic aerobic digester to investigate the digestion process of one-stage autothermal thermophilic aerobic digester and to explore the sludge stabilization mechanism. Volatile solids removal was 38.4% at 408 h and 45.0% at 552 h. Chemical oxidation demand, total nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen in supernatant increased rapidly up to 168 h, and...

TheVirtualBrain (TVB) is a neuroinformatics Python package representing the convergence of clinical, systems, and theoretical neuroscience in the analysis, visualization and modeling of neural and neuroimaging dynamics. TVB is composed of a flexible simulator for neural dynamics measured across scales from local populations to large-scale dynamics measured by electroencephalography (EEG), magne...

Meat products, especially fish meat, are very susceptible to lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage. In this study, first, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZEO) components was done and then two concentrations of ZEO, (1% and 2%) and two concentrations of grape seed extract (GSE), (0.5% and 1%) were used in carboxymethyl cellulos...

There is considerable interest among both researchers and the mass public in understanding the topics of discussion on social media as they occur over time. Scholars have thoroughly analysed samplingbased topic modelling approaches for various text corpora including social media; however, another LDA topic modelling implementation— Variational Bayesian (VB)—has not been well studied, despite it...

Chicks of distinct genotypes at the tumor virus B locus (TVB) in combination with presence or absence of endogenous avian leukosis virus ev21 gene in their genomes were examined for survival day patterns after challenge with very virulent plus Marek’s disease virus (vv+MDV) in three consecutive trials under controlled conditions. The distinct genotypic groups of the challenged birds were TVB*S1...

The effect of an optimum gas mixture (50% CO2:45% N2:5% O2) on hake slices (Merluccius merluccius) was studied when combined with a sodium chloride dip (5 min in 5% NaCl solution). Exudation, water binding capacity (WBC), microbial growth, as well as undesirable chemical (pH, total volatile bases, lipid oxidation), and sensory alterations (raw fish odour) cooked fish flavour), were monitored. V...

The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial and physico-chemical characteristics cold smoked sea bass (CSSB), a novel italian fish product. microbiological analyses showed presence bacterial contamination from raw material, environment, production process. spoilage population dominated by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) associated with Gram-negative fermenting bacteria, including Photobac...

In this paper we provide an analysis of monotonicity properties for linear multistep methods. These monotonicity properties include positivity and the diminishing of total variation. We also pay particular attention to related boundedness properties such as the total variation bounded (TVB) property. In the analysis the multistep methods are considered in combination with suitable starting proc...
