The aim of the present study was to compare three methods of estrus synchronization in ewes during the non-breeding season. Forty-two ewes were randomly grouped for three treatments with different intravaginal devices for 12 days: Group A) CIDR, Group B) Self-made P sponge, Group C) MAP (medroxyprogesterone acetate) cream sponge. Furthermore, all groups were divided into two treatments with (R)...

Recent studies on deep-sea sponges have focused on mapping contemporary distributions while little work has been done to map historical distributions; historical distributions can provide valuable information on the time frame over which species have co-evolved and may provide insight into the reasons for their persistence or decline. Members of the sponge family Geodiidae are dominant members ...

the down-flow hanging sponge (dhs) reactor, which was developed for post-treatment of effluent from up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) process treating sewage, uses polyurethane sponge as media to retain biomass. wastewater is trickled from the top of the reactor and purified by microorganisms retained both inside and outside of the sponge media as the wastewater flows vertically down thro...

Estrus and ovulation synchronization using short-term protocols during the previous reproductive season in Suffolk ewes. This study was carried out with the objective of examining the effect of the short-term estrus synchronization protocol. Ewes were divided in four groups: Control Group (MAP sponges for 12 days, and eCG at withdrawal); Groups I, II and III used the sponge for four days, and 1...

Ewes were treated with a medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) sponge for 8 d followed, at sponge removal, with 500 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) at d 30, 40 or 50 (d 0 = lambing) to induce estrus. Dry and lactating ewes were divided into equal numbers at each postpartum day and bred at estrus. Conception rates and number of accessory sperm were determined by flushing the oviducts 3 d ...

The matters which I shall discuss today will be largely concerned with the general problem of imbedding a coordinate manifold of class C in a euclidean space of sufficiently many dimensions. I imagine you all have a fair idea as to what is meant by an w-dimensional manifold of class C. Briefly this may be described as a Hausdorff space each point of which admits a neighborhood homeomorphic to t...

In this paper the existence and approximation of a unique common fixed point of two families of weakly compatible self-maps on a complete metric space are investigated. An example is presented to show that our results for the mappings considered satisfying non-linear contractive type conditions are genuine generalizations of the recent result for metric spaces [B. Singh, S. Jain, A fixed point ...

In this paper, we consider complete menger probabilistic quasimetric space and prove a common fixed point theorem for commuting maps in this space.

This study deals with an establishment of some common fixed point theorems for weak sub sequential continuous and compatibility of type (E) maps via C-class functions in a non Archimedean Menger Probabilistic Metric space.

Let K ⊂ R be a self-similar or self-affine set, let μ be a self-similar or self-affine measure on it, and let G be the group of affine maps, similitudes, isometries or translations of R. Under various assumptions (such as separation conditions or we assume that the transformations are small perturbations or that K is a so called Sierpiński sponge) we prove theorems of the following types, which...
