Population growth (length-weight relationship), and reproductive potential (e.g. fecundity, and sex-ratio) of five important fish species (‘mola’: Amblypharyngodon mola, ‘puti’: Puntius sophore, ‘tengra’: Mystus vittatus, ‘shing’: Heteropneustes fossilis and ‘taki’: Channa punctatus) collected from two important fresh waters bodies (namely Hilna beel and Beel Kumari beel) Rajshahi, Bangladesh, ...

 Some aspects of the reproductive biology of Cobitis keyvani (Mousavi-Sabet, Yerli, Vatandoust, Ozeren and Moradkhani, 2012), an endemic Loach fish species from the Talar River in the southern Caspian Sea basin, in north of Iran was studied by regular monthly collections throughout a year. Fecundity, condition factor, gonado-somatic, modified gonado-somatic and Dobriyal indices were es...

This study investigated effects of mature compost on gaseous emissions during composting using pig manure amended with corn stalks. Apart from a control treatment, three treatments were conducted with the addition of 5% (wet weight of raw materials) of mature compost: (a) mixing raw materials with mature compost at the beginning of composting; (b) covering raw materials with mature compost thro...

Proteinase A and proteinase B, two vacuolar enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are synthesized as larger precursors with apparent molecular weights of approximately 52,000 and 42,000, respectively. These precursor molecules are processed to their mature forms of 42,000 molecular weight for proteinase A and 33,000 molecular weight for proteinase B. In the presence of tunicamycin, an inhibitor ...

Mature weight and rate of maturing were estimated in 177 Angus, Brahman, and reciprocal-cross cows grazing bermudagrass or endophyte-infected tall fescue over a 4-yr period to evaluate genotype x environment interactions. Data were collected every 28 d until cows were approximately 18 mo of age and then at prebreeding, postcalving, and weaning of calf. All cows with weight data to at least 42 m...

Onset of puberty was measured in 850 F2 Friesian x Jersey animals in a QTL discovery trial. Phenotypes for onset of puberty were defined by age at puberty based on endocrine profiles, and predicted proportion of mature live weight. A QTL analysis was conducted on the derived phenotypes using line of descent and half sib regression models. Results from the proportion of estimated mature live wei...

the effect of different preparation methods of vermiwash on certain wheat traits, namely: yield, growth indices as well as fe, zn and p uptake, as regards wheat grain was evaluated. a greenhouse experiment was conducted within the framework of factorial randomized complete block design (rcbd) of four replicates. the treatments included 1) vermiwash (15 levels) and 2) consumption methods (two le...
