There is currently no reference for intake of lysine for Chinese people; therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the lysine requirement of Chinese young male adults on a habitual Chinese mixed diet based on the modified indicator amino acid oxidation method. Seven young men with a mean age of 23.7 ± 2.2 years that were healthy based on questionnaire, physical examinations and sc...

BACKGROUNDS: Optimization of microbial compositions and load in live food during the process of bioencapsulation is one of the most important concerns in aquaculture, as it can promote the growth and feeding parameters of fish larvae. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the growth and feeding performance of Persian sturgeon larvae fed with bioencapsulated D. magna with Saccharomy...

Enrichment of live foods by essential nutrients such as highly unsaturated fatty acids is an important tool for improvement of larval fish quality. In this study, nutritional effects of Artemia urmiana enriched by fish and plant oils on growth, survival rate, body compositions and resistance against thermal, salinity and hypoxic stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. Six ...

PROCEEDINGS I 966 4 (concentration test, aspartate transaminase content), liver function (alanine transaminase content, alkaline phosphatase content), blood (Hb, haematocrit, haemolysis, white blood cells, coagulation, platelet adhesiveness), post-mortem examinations and body fat composition, no indications were obtained that a 12-week fe,eding period with high amounts of hydrogenated fats of e...

Basic factors that influence the physical metallurgy and the mechanical properties of cobalt-base alloys are discussed in this study; these factors include the coherency of the interphase interface, the stacking fault energy, and the average electron hole number. Control of these factors and considerations of corrosion resistance and body compatibility determined the compositions for alloys tha...

We have conducted petrologic, chemical, and isotopic studies of lodranites in an attempt to constrain their genesis. Lodran, Gibson, Y-791491, Y-791493, Y-74357, Y-8002, Y-75274, MAC 88177, LEW 88280, EET 84302, FRO 90011, and QUE 93148 are classified as lodranites. Lodranites and acapulcoites are indistinguishable on the basis of oxygen isotopic compositions but are distinct in average grain s...
