Severe feather pecking (SFP) in commercial laying hens is a maladaptive behavior which is associated with anxiety traits. Many experimental studies have shown that stress in the parents can affect anxiety in the offspring, but until now these effects have been neglected in addressing the problem of SFP in commercially kept laying hens. We therefore studied whether parental stock (PS) affected t...

This paper analyses the distributional effects of decoupled Single Farm Payments (SFP) in the European Union. In a static world the SFP benefit only farmers, irrespective of the implemented SFP model and irrespective of whether entitlements are tradable or not, except when the size of the allocated entitlements is larger than the eligible area and/or if entrants are eligible for the SFP. Then t...

conclusion dt-sfp can improve the detection of relatively early bone abnormalities in acetabular and proximal femur compared with conventional radiography. dt-sfp can also observe the abnormal impact between acetabular and proximal femur. patients and methods ninety-four consecutive patients with discomfort around the hip joint underwent dt-sfp and conventional radiography. the imaging features...

In this paper we investigate the problem of \partializing" Stone spaces by \Sequence of Finite Posets" (SFP) domains. More specifically , we introduce a suitable subcategory SFP m of SFP which is naturally related to the special category of Stone spaces 2-Stone by the functor MAX, which associates to each object of SFP m the space of its maximal elements. The category SFP m is closed under limi...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous peritonitis, especially spontaneous fungal peritonitis (SFP), is an important and potentially fatal complication in patients with endstage liver disaese. We evaluated potential risk factors, microbiological findings, and outcome of patients with SFP compared to spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in critically ill patients. METHODS Retrospective analyses of critic...

Two hundred fifty-two cross-bred yearling steers (406 ± 24 kg BW) were used in a completely randomized block design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (7 pens/treatment) to evaluate the effects of dietary Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SFP) and monensin (MON) on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary treatments arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial were 1)...
