Electromechanical Wave Imaging (EWI) is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based imaging method capable of mapping the electromechanical wave (EW) in vivo, i.e. the transient deformations occurring in response to the electrical activation of the heart. Optimal imaging frame rates, in terms of the elastographic signal-to-noise ratio, to capture the EW cannot be achieved due to the limitations of conven...

the study was conducted to determine the effect of varying protein levels and preservation method on external egg qualities of japanese quails. a total of 180 birds were randomly allotted into three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (crd) replicated six times. a factorial arrangement of 3 × 4 × 4 which involves 3 protein levels (15, 20 and 25% crude protein), 4 storage method...

BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a condition that has been linked to both short-term and long-term clinical outcomes an anatomical risk factor known as femorotibial joint morphometrics. There are three grades of this condition, which sometimes difficult detect through imaging. AIM: This study aimed analyze the prevalent ratio (PR) morphometrics ACL using magnetic resonance i...

Early warning indicators for process failures were investigated to develop a reliable method to increase the production efficiency of biogas plants. Organic overloads by the excessive addition of rapeseed oil were used to provoke the decrease in the gas production rate. Besides typical monitoring parameters, as pH, methane and hydrogen contents, biogas production rate and concentrations of fatt...

Among the 33 human tetraspanin proteins, CD151, CD9 and Tspan12 play particularly important roles in cancer. Tetraspanin CD151, in partnership with integrins α6β1 and α6β4, modulates tumour cell growth, invasion, migration, metastasis, signalling and drug sensitivity. Tetraspanin CD9 has suppressor functions in multiple tumour cell types. Major CD9 partner proteins, such as EWI-2 and EWI-F, may...

Objectives: This study aims to determine the differences between genders by measuring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) related bony structures on femur and tibia which are belongs same individuals. To best our knowledge, with ACL of have never been investigated combined dry bones in literature. Materials Methods: The included 219 [108 femurs (74 male/34 female) / 111 tibias (72 male/39 female)]...

The present study was carried out to determine the sex of the fertilized white layer eggs with using morphological measurements. A total of 300 Super Nick White Layer (54 wks of age) eggs were incubated and sexed in the end of incubation period. Before incubation egg length, width and weight were measured. The egg volume and shape index were estimated with using these measurements for each egg....

AIM The experiment was carried out to evaluate different external and internal egg quality traits and to figure out their mode of inheritance from a set of hierarchically classified data. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data collected from 548 progenies (1 egg from each progeny) of 282 dams mated to 47 sires (1 sire mated to 6 dams) of a White Leghorn flock were used in the present study. Phenotypi...

The microscopic structure of the egg capsules of Atlantoraja cyclophora, a species endemic to the Atlantic region of South America, is presented in this paper. In a transverse section, the dorsal face of the egg case is 70 in width, and is subdivided into four layers. Ventrally, the egg capsule wall is 60 wide and composed of three layers. Both faces are covered by prickles which render the egg...

a total of 2000 records of egg quality of 746 birds and body weight data from 17th generation of fars native fowl breeding station were used to estimate the genetic parameters of egg quality and body weight traits. six univariate animal models with different random effects were fitted for each trait. a model with direct additive genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects was the most ...
