Acute Respiratory Infections (ARIs) are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Documentation of respiratory specimens can help for an appropriate clinical management with a significant effect on the disease progress in patient, the antimicrobial therapy used and the risk of secondary spread of infection. Here, we compared the performances of four commercial multiplex ki...

s of papers 91 yolk (YP), Haugh units (HU), yolk index (YI), shell percent (SP), shell thickness (ST) and egg specific gravity (ESG). The vitamin D influenced the parameters HU, YI, SP, ST, ESG when in thermoneutral temperature, the YI in a cycling heat stress and ST, ESG in constant heat stress. The vitamin C interfered on HU, SP, ST, ESG under thermoneutral temperature and on YI under cycling...

This chapter is concerned with the analysis of statistical models for binary and ordinal outcomes. Binary data arise when a particular response variable of interest yi can take only two values, i.e. yi ∈ {0, 1}, where the index i = 1, . . . , n refers to units in the sample such as individuals, families, firms, and so on. Such dichotomous outcomes are widespread in the social and natural scienc...

Genetic correlation coefficients between egg quality traits were studied using fiftysix harco pullets raised under standard management practices. The estimates were carried out at 22-week, 26-week, 30-week and 32-week of age. Egg quality traits studied include egg weight (EW), shell thickness (ST), haugh unit (HU), yolk index (YI) and shape index (SI). Zero to slight negative correlation coeffi...

To determine migration-related differences in serum lipid levels and to estimate the contribution of environmental factors to these differences, the authors conducted a cross-sectional study among 1,222 residents of southwestern China in 1988 and 1989: 521 Yi farmers living in a remote rural area, 340 Yi migrants to an urban setting, and 361 Han people living in the same urban setting. Serum to...
