We emphasize the already known idea that since GRB970508 released an energy of Qγ ≈ 10 δΩ ergs in soft gamma rays alone, where δΩ is the solid angle of the beam, the actual energy of the eep fireball driving the blast wave could be considerably higher than this value, QFB > Qγ . We further argue that, for reasonably large values of δΩ, as is probably suggested by the radio observations, the val...

Two experiments were conducted, each with 24 White Pekin ducks, to determine the AME and TME content of five feedstuffs for ducks. In each experiment, fasting losses were obtained from six ducks and six ducks were used for each feedstuff. Each experiment lasted 102 h with an initial 48-h period and a 54-h excreta collection period. During the first 48-h period, all birds were tube-fed dextrose ...

W hile in Las Vegas for the Nevada Occupational Therapy Association meeting, I planned with the occupational therapy audience gathered at one of the meeting rooms in the casino how best to dramatically illustrate the importance of spinning these connections among practice, education, and research. In Houston, I demonstrated to the AOTA audience the idea that had won the most votes: I put on a r...

A total of 364 female Ross 308 chicks (1 d old) were used in the present study conducted in floor pens to investigate the effects of graded levels of supplementary bacterial phytase on dietary energy utilisation and growth performance. For this purpose, four maize-soyabean-based diets were offered to the birds from 0 to 21 d of age. These included a suboptimal P negative control (NC, 3.0 g/kg n...

Methane production in Muzaffarnagari sheep was studied using open circuit respiration calorimetry technique. Twelve rams were divided in three treatment groups of four each and were fed at about maintenance with diets having three roughage (oat hay) to concentrate ratio (R : C), i.e. 92 : 8 (group I), 50 : 50 (group II), 30 : 70 (group III). Concentrate mixture was formulated to contain 93% cru...

Maternal nutrition during the period of early organ development can modulate the offspring's ability to metabolise excess fat as young adults when exposed to an obesogenic environment. This study examined the hypothesis that exposing offspring to nutrient restriction coincident with early hepatogenesis would result in endocrine and metabolic adaptations that subsequently lead to increased ectop...

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of physical activity on the level of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The serum BDNF level in trained men who have participated in regular sport activity (n=12) was compared to that in sedentary subjects (n=14). The physical activity levels expressed as total energy expenditure, move-related energy expenditure and walking count ...

A new quantum dynamic equation for excitation energy transfer is developed which can describe quantum coherent wavelike motion and incoherent hopping in a unified manner. The developed equation reduces to the conventional Redfield theory and Forster theory in their respective limits of validity. In the regime of coherent wavelike motion, the equation predicts several times longer lifetime of el...

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kuzu besi rasyonlarına meşe palamudu ilavesinin, in vitro gaz ve metan üretimi ile sindirim derecesi, mikrobiyal protein sentezleme etkinliğine olan etkisini üretim tekniğiyle belirlemektir. proje kapsamında %0, 10, 20 30 oranında rasyonuna katılmıştır. Kuzu ilavesi üretimi, derecesini azaltırken, taksimat faktörünü, sentez etkinliğini artırmıştır. Gaz değerleri sırasıyla 8...
