A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary inorganic and organic trace minerals in two levels of supplementation regarding performance, diarrhea occurrence, hematological parameters, fecal mineral excretion and mineral retention in metacarpals and liver of weanling pigs. Seventy piglets weaned at 21 days of age with an average initial body weight of 6.70 ± 0.38 kg were allotted in...

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different substrate on growth and yield of gerbera flower. the experiment was performed using 10 treatments as fallow: fine sand, peat +fine sand (%25+%75), peat + fine sand ( %50 +%50), perlite + peat (%75 + %25), perlite + peat (%50 + %50), perlite + peat (%25 + %75), perlite + peat + expanded clay (%25 + %70 + %5), perlite + peat +...

We investigated the effects of a saturated fat diet on lipid metabolism and arachidonic acid (AA) turnover in mouse resident peritoneal macrophages. The pro-oxidative effect of this diet was also studied. Female C57BL/6 mice were weaned at 21 days of age and assigned to either the experimental diet containing coconut oil (COCO diet), or the control diet containing soybean oil as fat source (10 ...

Abstract There is a growing interest among vegetable growers in using locally available media hydroponic production. This study assessed the growth and yield of pechay, nutrient solution consumption plant, its quality different (foam, coco peat, raw rice hull, saw dust, vermicompost, composted straw, hull) Kratky system at Institute Agriculture, Camiguin Polytechnic State College-Catarman Campu...

Large cardamom is one of the most important spices that can significantly contribute to economical farming in country Nepal. It grown Nepal and north-eastern states India which provide suitable agroclimatic growing conditions high humidity, ambient temperature rainfall. Meeting demand for quality plants yield challenging with traditional methods propagation. The present study has used plant tis...

Communication and coordination are key factors to achieve successful requirements and software engineering. However, it is very difficult to establish the right communication and coordination channels, especially in large organizations. We investigate the automatic construction of social network models from existing requirements and other systems engineering models, in order to facilitate commu...

The mechanistic underpinnings of metastatic dormancy and reactivation are poorly understood. A gain-of-function cDNA screen reveals that Coco, a secreted antagonist of TGF-β ligands, induces dormant breast cancer cells to undergo reactivation in the lung. Mechanistic studies indicate that Coco exerts this effect by blocking lung-derived BMP ligands. Whereas Coco enhances the manifestation of tr...

ABSTRACT The study focusses on alternative substrates with the potential to replace common substrates, such as mineral wool and perlite, influence of these ecosystems resources is being debated. To this aim, wood fibre, sheep coco peat were selected for testing. Leaf lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L. ‘Lisboa’) taken model crop evaluation substrates. closed hydroponic system ebb flow growing in pots w...

Mobile technology benefits education by pervading learning activity, increasing efficiency in learning, empowering learners, enabling distance learning, encouraging real-world interaction and allowing spontaneous collaborations and learning to occur. At the ACET Centre, we are developing a collaborative computing platform, Coco, which builds on peer-to-peer and mobile technology. Coco supports ...
