Fermented mixtures containing fish-offal meal (FOM) and mulberry leaf meal (MLM) were used as protein supplement to partially replace fish meal (FM) in the formulation of diets for the Indian minor carp Labeo bata. The diets included a reference diet (20 % FM), three diets of fermented mixture of FOM and MLM (T2–T4) replacing 50 to 75 % of FM. Formulation of diet with 30 % FOM, 24 % MLM and 5 ...

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most important causes of death worldwide. The effect of flunixin meglumine (FM) on MI is unknown. We investigated the protective effect of FM on the serum biochemical profile, malondialdehyde (MDA), and heart histology changes induced by isoproterenol (ISO) in adult male rats. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups of six eac...

1. FM-FM neurons in the auditory cortex of the mustached bat are sensitive to a pair of frequency-modulated (FM) sounds that simulates an FM component of the orientation sound and an FM component of the echo. These neurons are tuned to particular delays between the two FM components, suggesting an encoding of target range information. The response properties of these FM-FM neurons, however, hav...

background: the foramen magnum (fm) is an important landmark of the skull base and a transition zone between spine and skull as well as its close relationship to the brain and the spinal cord. so the fm has gained considerable interest due to its comparative anatomy, ontogeny, clinical, and animal breeding viewpoints. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine morphology and morphometry...

In an earlier work [6] we presented a simple FM-index variant, based on the idea of Huffman-compressing the text and then applying the Burrows-Wheeler transform over it. The main drawback of using Huffman was its lack of synchronizing properties, forcing us to supply another bit stream indicating the Huffman codeword boundaries. In this way, the resulting index needed O(n(H0+1)) bits of space b...

Recent studies on the bat's auditory system indicate that the corticofugal system mediates a highly focused positive feedback to physiologically "matched" subcortical neurons, and widespread lateral inhibition to physiologically "unmatched" subcortical neurons, to adjust and improve information processing. These findings have solved the controversy in physiological data, accumulated since 1962,...

The effect of spin relaxation on tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) in a ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet (FM/SC/FM) double tunnel junction is theoretically studied. The spin accumulation in SC is determined by balancing of the spin-injection rate and the spin-relaxation rate. In the superconducting state, the spinrelaxation time τs becomes longer with decreasing temperature, resulting in a r...
