Background and Aims: Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious disease in poultry with economic losses in the world. Vaccination is one of the most important ways for prevention and control of NDV, but there are reports of ND outbreaks in vaccinated chickens. Poor quality of the vaccines is one of the reasons of vaccine failure. In this study the quality of two commercial oil-emulsion Newca...

An updated inventory of large branchiopods of the Western Maharashtra state, India is presented for the first time. Employing current identification keys, we have detailed the egg morphology of Eulimnadia indocylindrova, which shares some similarities with E. geayi from South America and E. alluaudi from Madagascar, based on these egg characters. A thorough re-description of few morphological t...

The definition and main results connected with Gröbner basis, Hilbert series and Anick's resolution are formulated. The method of the infinity behavior prediction of Gröbner basis in noncommu-tative case is presented. The extensions of BERGMAN package for IBM PC compatible computers are described. Let A =< X|R > be a finitely presented associative algebra over field K. Here are the main example...

A new solanocapsine-type tomato glycoside, a novel and interesting natural steroidal glycoside, was isolated from a mini tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. The chemical structure of the new minor glycoside, esculeoside B-5 (3), was determined to be (5S,22R,23S,24R,25S)-22,26-epimino-16β,23-epoxy-3β,23,24-trihydroxycholestane 3-O-β-lycotetraoside.

Intersecting D-brane models provide an attractive explanation of family replication in the context of string theory. We show, however, that the localization of fermion families at different brane intersections in the extra dimensions introduces flavour changing neutral currents mediated by the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge fields. This is a generic feature in these models, and it implie...

This study investigated how common online text aVects reading performance of elementary school-age children by examining the actual and perceived readability of four computer-displayed typefaces at 12and 14-point sizes. Twenty-seven children, ages 9 to 11, were asked to read eight children’s passages and identify erroneous/substituted words while reading. Comic Sans MS, Arial and Times New Roma...
