Tekeli, A., H. RuSTu kuTlu and l. Celik, 2014. Dietary inclusion of grape seed oil in functional broiler meat production. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 924-932 The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of grape seed oil on growth performance, some blood parameters and fatty acid composition in broiler meat. in order to formulate isocaloric ratios, the corresponding amounts of soy oil were...

In [15], the second author defined algebraic geometric codes over rings. This definition was motivated by two recent trends in coding theory: the study of algebraic geometric codes over finite fields, and the study of codes over rings. In that paper, many of the basic parameters of these new codes were computed. However, the Lee weight, which is very important for codes over the ring Z/4Z, was ...

BACKGROUND We conducted this investigation in order to examine the anti-obesity and hypolipidaemic effects of Nelumbo nucifera seed ethanol extract (NSEE) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS To study the anti-obesity effect of NSEE in vitro and in vivo, human pre-adipocytes were treated with NSEE, and male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a normal diet and a high-fat diet with or without NSEE, res...

Genetic variability and relationships among ten rice varieties were studied by using 20 decamer random primers and SDSPAGE methods. Out of 22, 20 Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers revealed polymorphism, while the remaining 2 primers showed no reaction. The primers produced a total of 109 bands, of which 62 (56.88%) were polymorphic. The number of polymorphic fragments for each pri...

In this work we propose a principal approach combining graph cuts, color weighting and texture information to segment skin regions from images. Successfully detected faces serve as foreground seeds, no assumptions about the background is made. Further, we introduce the concept of skin weights and skin weighted images. Performance is improved by efficiently adjusting pixel weights. Prior approac...

In this paper we present a novel clustering technique called Seed-Detective. It is a combination of modified versions of two existing techniques namely Ex-Detective and Simple K-Means. Seed-Detective first discovers a set of preliminary clusters using our modified Ex-Detective. The modified Ex-Detective allows a data miner to assign different weights (importance levels) for all attributes, both...

The range grazing and distance walked for diet selection and nutritive value were studied in close and open range systems at the flowering and seed setting stages during the September and November 2009 respectively in El-khuwei locality (El Rosa). A completely randomized design was used (CRD). Sampling was done by two stage flowering and seed sating stage under protected and open range systems ...
