The induction of tetraploidy by means of cold, heat and multiple heat shock treatments was investigated on male fish from a growth-enhanced transgenic tilapia C118 line, crossed with wild type females. After the development a new multiple heat shock protocol (two heat treatments at 41oC in 60 and 80 min. after fertilization for 5 min. per each), chromosome and X-gal in situ staining assays demo...

this experiment was performed to investigate the effects of propolis and chromium picolinate on performance and immune response of broiler chicken under heat stress conditions. treatments included different levels of propolis (500, 1000, and 1500 mg/kg) and chromium picolinate (1500 µg/ kg) along with a control group. a completely randomized design was taken into account with 4 replicates of 10...

The effect of pre-heat treatments, followed by a hot forging process, on the microstructure and strength of Co–Cr–Mo alloys was investigated. Four pre-heat treatments were conducted at 1170, 1200, 1230 and 1260 C for three different time condition: 2, 6 and 15 h and then water cooled to room temperature. Tensile tests and XRD analyses were carried out on both as-cast alloy and heat-treated allo...

A heat-conditioning treatment of 10 mm at 45°followed by 370 incubation resulted in maximal thermotolerance 8 hr later. The D@of the heat survival curve increased from 4.5 mm (control) to 19.8 mm at 45°.Two heat-conditioning treatments (10 mm at 45°+ 4 hr at 37°+ 15 mm at 45°)resulted in a higher thermotolerance maximum (D@= 26.7 mm) 8 hr after the second • conditioning treatment. In com...

triploidy in grass carp, ctenopharyngodon idella valenciennes, 1844, was induced on fertilized eggs to compare cold and heat shocks. two simplified methods explained for verification of triploidy in grass carp. the cold shock (7 ?c) was given in three treatments for 30 min starting 2.0, 2.5 and 4.0 min after fertilization. in cold shock, the start point (2.0 min after fertilization) showed the ...

The pressure resistances of the spores of six Bacillus strains were examined at 5 to 10(deg)C and were compared with their heat resistances. The pressure treatments (at 981 MPa for 40 min and at 588 MPa for 120 min) did not inactivate the spores of B. stearothermophilus IAM12043, B. subtilis IAM12118, and B. licheniformis IAM13417. However, these spores had large differences in heat resistance....
