This study aimed to investigate the responses to abrupt changes in feeding and illumination during the egglaying period. Six hens were housed individually in cages under constant environmental conditions, with a photoperiod of 15 h (0400-1900) and ad libitum access to food for 10 days. Then the same hens were subjected to a feed withdrawal trial (between 1200 and 0830), followed by a 5-h reduct...

Microgreens are receiving increasing popularity as functional and healthy foods due to their nutritional value high content of bioactive compounds. The aim the present study was evaluate effects nutrient deprivation through regulation solution (NS) feeding days on plant growth chemical composition spinach microgreens. For this purpose, microgreens were subjected four different fertigation treat...

precipitation regime refers to distribution of seasonal- monthly precipitation. by studying this character, it could be find out about the most important parts of mechanism(s) dominant in temporal distribution of precipitation. precipitation regime can have positive or negative effects on other environmental components performance. in the present research, the monthly data in 73 stations during...

We present a comprehensive investigation of nonequilibrium effects and self heating in single electron transfer devices based primarily on the Coulomb blockade effect. During an electron trapping process, a hot electron may be deposited in a quantum dot or metal island, with an extra energy usually on the order of the Coulomb charging energy, which is much higher than the temperature in typical...

First feeding of many fish larvae depends on live feed. A comparative investigation the effectiveness different types feed is not available to our knowledge. Hence, we conducted a study examine effect and combinations performance (survival rate, total length, body width, mass, malformation rate) pikeperch, Sander lucioperca, larvae. From day 0 (onset exogenous feeding) 10, saltwater rotifer Bra...

BACKGROUND Chronic dietary restriction (DR) has been shown to have beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. These factors show rapid and robust improvements when rodents were crossed over from an ad libitum (AL) diet to DR in mid life. We aimed to determine whether the beneficial effects induced by short-term exposure to DR can be retained as a 'metabolic memory' when ...
