Molecular communication (MC) can enable the transfer of information between nanomachines using molecules as carrier. In MC systems, multiple receiver often co-exist in same channel to serve common or different purposes. However, analytical model for a system with fully absorbing receivers (FARs), which is significantly from single FAR due mutual influence FARs, does not exist literature. The es...

background: hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of e. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. therefore, who recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...

The demands of a growing human population dictates that expansion of energy infrastructure, roads, and other development frequently takes place in native rangelands. Particularly, transmission lines and roads commonly divide rural landscapes and increase fragmentation. This has direct and indirect consequences on native wildlife that can be mitigated through thoughtful planning and proactive ap...

Nutritional and medicinal benefits have been attributed to the consumption of tissues from the black-boned chickens in oriental countries. Lueyang black-boned chicken is one of the native chicken breeds. However, some birds may instead have white or lighter skin, which directly causes economic losses every year. Previous studies of pigmentation have focused on a number of genes that may play im...

background: the main objective of this study was to assess the malnutrition and some socio-economic related factors based on three ethnic groups among primary school children in north of iran in 2010 . methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out through multistage cluster random sampling on 5698 subjects (2505 fars-native, 2154 turkman, and 1039 sistani) in 112 schools. well-trained sta...

Blood samples of Mazandaran native chickens were collected. A total of 90 genomic DNAs were isolated through optimized and modified salting-out procedure. The samples were used in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with 20 micro satellite markers. Amplified PCR-products with the markers were separated on 8% denaturing polyacrylamide gel. One locus (MCW216) was monomorphic. According to allele freq...

A major goal of invasion genetics is to determine how establishment histories shape non-native organisms' genotypes and phenotypes. While domesticated species commonly escape cultivation to invade feral habitats, few studies have examined how this process shapes feral gene pools and traits. We collected genomic and phenotypic data from feral chickens (Gallus gallus) on the Hawaiian island of Ka...

The main objective of this study was to examine the diversity of meat quality traits among 5 chicken genotypes. The genotypes included 2 Chinese native breeds (Wenchang,WCH, and Xianju), 1 commercial broiler line (Avian, AV), 1 commercial layer line (Hy-Line Brown, HLB), and 1 Chinese commercial broiler line (Lingnanhuang, LNH) synthesized by exotic and native breeds, which were slaughtered at ...

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with rosemary complex powder on growth performance native chickens. In total, 180 one day-old chicks were assigned to three groups (60 birds each). The control group (Group A) received basal diet. addition diet, two experimental diets (Groups B and C) supplemented 0.2% 0.4% powder, which contained leaves, sweet basil, pineapple sage...
