BACKGROUND Secretion of heterologous proteins depends both on biomass concentration and on the specific product secretion rate, which in turn is not constant at varying specific growth rates. As fed batch processes usually do not maintain a steady state throughout the feed phase, it is not trivial to model and optimize such a process by mathematical means. RESULTS We have developed a model fo...

With the increasing wind power penetration, farms are directly influencing systems, so need to improve quality of system is an open research topic. A Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) often used in systems. However, DFIG has a complex structure and works harsh environments, potential faults may occur. Faults can cause fall into chaotic working state, which harmful phenomenon for DFIG, since...

this study was conducted to investigate effect of different sources of copper on gas production parameters and nutrients digestibility in zandi male lambs. in the first experiment, 18 male lambs (initial body weight 17.53±1.62) divided into three groups and fed one of the three experimental diets for 70 days. dietary treatments were control (basal diet without copper supplement), basal diet plu...

The effects of taurine on plasma and liver cholesterol, erythrocyte ouabain sensitive Na efflux and platelet aggregation were examined in Sprague Dawley rats fed control or 0.5% cholesterol with 0.2% cholate diet. Plasma and liver levels of total cholesterol were increased significantly (p<0.05) in rats fed cholesterol diet compared to the control, and taurine significantly decreased the elevat...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tannic acid (ta) and pistachio by-product tannin extract (pbe) on n utilization and efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (emns) in saanen dairy goats. the experimental design was a change over design with three treatments and three periods using six mid lactation multiparous dairy goats. tannic acid solution and pbe were added to fresh ...

a castanea crenata agglutinin (abbreviated as cca) was extracted and purified from bitter apple, citrullus colocynthis l., to determine its effects on the demographic parameters of apomyelois ceratoniae zeller. two groups of first larval instars were reared on an artificial diet containing 2% (w/w) of cca and control diets until emergence of adults. two sex ms-chart life table software was used...

OBJECTIVE To determine prevalence of radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis in 4 diarthrodial joints of dogs with restricted feed intake, compared with dogs without restricted feed intake. DESIGN Paired feeding study. ANIMALS 48 Labrador Retrievers. PROCEDURE Dogs in litters from 7 dams and 2 sires were paired by sex and weight within litters and randomly assigned to a control-fed group ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the lactation performance of dairy cows fed dried or wet distillers grains (DG) with solubles (DDGS or WDGS) at 2 dietary concentrations. A trial using 15 cows was designed as a replicated 5 x 5 Latin square with periods of 4 wk each and data collected during wk 3 and 4 of each period. Diets, on a dry matter basis, were: control, 10% DDGS, 20% DDGS, 10...
