the purpose of this study was to look for carbon materials for composting with rabbit manure. rabbit manure was composted with rice straw and mushroom residues. during the composting process, different related parameters were evaluated. results showed that the rabbit manure could be normally co-composted with rice straw or with mushroom residues. the gi value showed that both composts could hel...

this study was carried out to determine effects of phosphorus residual applied to wheat on vetch (vicia panonioca) growth, yields and some  soil  physical, chemical  properties in soil. the experiment was conducted with randomized completely block design in a field with three replications including four levels of p residual (applied for wheat p0, p15, p30, and p45 kg p2o5 in hectare) from tripl...

The present study evaluated effects of 0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% L-threonine in diet on performance and gastrointestinal tract development in broiler chickens during summer. From 0 to 42 days old, body weight gain was greater in 0.75% L-threonine fed birds than in 0.0% and 0.5% L-threonine fed birds (P0.05). During the growth period, 0.75% L-threonine fed birds had the highest body weight gain...

A study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of Zandi lambs. The lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. The body weights and average daily gain (ADG) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. Cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...

Oriental hybrid lily “Arabian Red” mother scales were stored in moist cocopeat and perlite (1:1) for 3 or 5 months at 25 ̊C. The numbers of scale bulblets per mother scale were nearly identical in two durations. Increasing storage duration promoted the growth of roots (number and length) and No. scales per scale bulblets. And, diameters of scale bulblets were more in longer storage duration (5 m...

The Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security use many threat detection systems, such as air cargo screeners and counter-improvised-explosive-device systems. Threat detection systems that perform well during testing are not always well received by the system operators, however. Some systems may frequently “cry wolf,” generating false alarms when true threats are not present. As ...

This paper is concerned with reconstruction theories of which-questions, and shows that one major limitation of these approaches lies in the way these theories derive de dicto readings of sentences such as Mary knows which children cried. Specifically, we show that when a wide range of de dicto facts is considered, an analysis where wh-phrases never reconstruct must be preferred over the recons...
