Introduction The interest for canine semen preservation and artificial insemination (AI) is steadily increasing worldwide, yet comparatively few studies are published each year within this field, and it is particularly difficult to find data from artificial inseminations using fresh semen, or semen preserved according to various methods for chilling, or freezing and thawing, and also comparing ...

OBJECT Regionally delivered hypothermia has advantages over systemic hypothermia for clinical application following spinal cord injury (SCI). The effects of local hypothermia on tissue sparing, neuronal preservation, and locomotor outcome were studied in a moderate thoracic spinal cord contusion model. METHODS Rats were randomized to four treatment groups and data were collected and analyzed ...

The effect of chilling on photosystem II (PSII) efficiency was studied in the variegated leaves of Calathea makoyana, in order to gain insight into the causes of chilling-induced photoinhibition. Additionally, a relationship was revealed between (chilling) stress and variation in photosynthesis. Chilling treatments (5 degrees C and 10 degrees C) were performed for different durations (1-7 d) un...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of soybean lecithin (SL) and virgin coconut oil (VCO) in Tris-based extender on chilled and frozen-thawed bull semen quality parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 ejaculates were collected from four bulls via an electroejaculator. Semen samples were diluted with 2% VCO in Tris-based extender whic...

This paper illustrates a project implemented in a major IBM plant in Canada using a TES system integrated with other technologies to optimize the chilled water production. The implementation of the Novanergy system (thermal storage with phase change material) has given important peak load reductions as well as significant reduction in the energy consumption and in the environmental impact of th...

Abstract The choice of modern technologies at the enterprises agroindustrial complex allows ensuring safety and high quality indicators food products. spread industrial ionizing radiation treatment technology requires compliance with procedural processes in specialized centers. To ensure preservation raw meat, particular chilled beef, after radiation, it is scientific practical importance to su...
