─ A novel loop-loaded printed dipole (LLPD) with a wideband balun structure is presented for aiming a dual-band antenna operation at 3.0/5.5 GHz bands. The proposed balun structure alone demonstrates VSWR<1.5 performance over a 3:1 bandwidth. As the loop elements placed on the antenna aperture provides dual-band operation with at least 15% impedance bandwidths, the wideband balun/feed allows fo...

this study carried out for economic investigation on laying hen farms in tehran province. the data was collected through completion of questionnaire by direct interview from 41 layer farms, which were selected by stratified random sampling method in 2013. among all types of production functions, the cobb-douglas production function was selected and its coefficients was estimated and average pro...

Thirty-five available feeds were fermented in vitro in order to investigate their soluble total organic carbon (TOCs) and methane (CH4) production rate. A fermentation reactor was designed to capture the CH4 gas emitted and to collect liquor from the reactor during in vitro fermentation. The results showed that CH4 production rate greatly varied among feeds with different ingredients. The lowes...

suspended sediment estimation is an important factor from different aspects including, farming, soil conservation, dams, aquatic life, as well as various aspects of the research. there are different methods for suspended sediment estimation. this study aims to estimate suspended sediment using feed forward neural network with error back propagation with levenberg-marquardt back propagation algo...

Abstract—The composite flour blend consisting of corn, pearl millet, black gram and wheat bran in the ratio of 80:5:10:5 was taken to prepare the extruded product and their effect on physical properties of extrudate was studied. The extrusion process was conducted in laboratory by using twin screw extruder. The physical characteristics evaluated include lateral expansion, bulk density, water ab...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of immunization with prokaryotically expressed recombinant fusion protein of extracellular near-transmembrane domain of Tibet minipig leptin receptor (OBR) on fat deposition in SD rats. METHODS A pair of specific primers containing BamHI and HindIII restriction enzyme sites was designed to amplify the extracellular near-transmembrane domain (1705-2364 bp) o...

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent carcinogen that causes growth stunting, immunosuppression and liver cancer in multiple species. The recent trend of replacing fishmeal with plant-based proteins in fish feed has amplified the AFB1 exposure risk in farm-raised fish. NovaSil (NS), a calcium montmorillonite clay, has previously been shown to reduce AFB1 bioavailability safely and efficaciously in se...
