Marriage in honey bees optimization (MBO) is a metaheuristic optimization algorithm developed by inspiration of the mating and fertilization process of honey bees and is a kind of swarm intelligence optimizations. In this study we propose improved marriage in honey bees optimization (IMBO) by adding Levy flight algorithm for queen mating flight and neighboring for worker drone improving. The IM...

Prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics have been successfully used in dietary supplements to achieve aquatic animal health therefore increase the quality sustainability of fish production. In present study, four hundred twenty common carps, Cyprinus carpio ( 25.37 ± 0.22 g </math...

an experiment was conducted under completely randomized design to study the effect of different levels of probiotic biomin imbo (0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 per cent) in starter, (0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 per cent) in grower and (0.0, 0.0125, 0.025, 0.0375 per cent) in finisher diets on morphology of digestive system and immuno system of broiler chicks for 49 days. 400 day old chicks (mixed male and fe...

due to growing concerns about antibiotic resistance and the potential for a ban for antibiotic growth promoters, there is an increasing interest in finding alternatives to antibiotics in poultry production. therefore probiotic bacterial or fungal origin used as alternatives to antibiotic growth stimuli.to determine the effects of biomin (biomin contains of enterococcus faecium (a probiotic), fr...

The use of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in patients with inoperable malignant bowel obstruction (IMBO) is controversial. The efficacy, safety, and indications for HPN in these patients is uncertain, and its benefit is difficult to demonstrate. The records of 17 patients (9, ovarian cancer; 4, colon cancer; 4, other) with IMBO receiving HPN managed by the Nutrition Support Team (NST) at Yale-...
