The aim of this study was to investigate possible relationships between morphometric characteristics of the bovine reproductive tract and measures of fertility, such as antral follicle counts (AFCs) and the number and quality of recovered cumulus oophorus complexes (COCs). First, the genital tracts of 360 abattoir Zebu/Holstein crossbred cows were studied. Rima vulvae length (RL), vulvar width ...

Development of vascular and hematopoietic systems during organogenesis occurs at the same time. During vasculogenesis, a small part of cells does not undergo complete differentiation but stays on this level, "anchored" in tissue structures described as stem cell niches. The presence of blood vessels within tissue stem cell niches is typical and led to identification of niches and ensures that t...

Developing commercial mushroom and vegetable production in an integrated food-to-waste-to-food biosystem VegWaMus CirCrop aims to develop into biosystem. The objective is close the loop between food waste-based biogas reuse of output after anaerobic digestion. Integrated cultivation interesting from a circular approach; organic wastes are utilised for energy crop closed system.

Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer. In recent years, its use has expanded to new indications. Viral warts (VW) are some of the most promising. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive, observational study was carried out. Patients who did not respond to cryotherapy were selected and were occluded with methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) for three hours and ...

The virtual warehouse (VW) is a state of real-time global visibility for logistics assets such as inventory and vehicles. The eciency of the VW is comparable to that achieved in a local warehouse facility. We assess the enabling technologies, develop a conceptual framework, and identify the essential decisionsupport modules of a virtual warehouse. A case study for ®eld repair service illustrat...

From now on transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions can be performed in food grade and waste vegetable oils. Appropriate methodologies for high-throughput screening isolation techniques applicable oils are described.

Verticillium wilt (VW) caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb is one of the most destructive diseases of cotton. Development and use of a VW resistant variety is the most practical and effective way to manage this disease. Identification of highly resistant genes/QTL and the underlining genetic architecture is a prerequisite for developing a VW resistant variety. A major QTL qVW-c6-1 conferring re...

Virtual worlds (VWs) have paved a new and important channel for user collaboration and information sharing. Businesses are now considering using VWs as innovative means for collaboration and information sharing among its organizational members. Despite the huge potential of VWs for harnessing and increasing the flow of ideas among organizations, research on the subject is rather sparse. Drawing...
