Moreover, major trends indicate the global urbanization of society, and the associated pres...

The ’t Hooft criterion leading to confinement out of a percolating cluster of central vortices suggests defining a novel three-dimensional gauge theory directly on a random percolation process. Wilson loop is viewed as a counter of topological linking with the random clusters. Beyond the percolation threshold large Wilson loops decay with an area law and show the universal shape effects due to ...

It rains when the sun is shining, and the streets are full of antique cars that should have died years ago.

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) in mash and crumbled pellet broiler diets. A total 400 male chicks (Cobb 500; initial BW 0.092 lb) were housed 4 Petersime batteries used an 18-d study. Treatments randomly assigned 80 cages within location block resulting 8 per treatment with 5 cage at placement. arranged a 2 × factorial main feed typ...
