A total of 600 crossbred pigs, whereof 56 were randomly selected for more in-depth studies of carcass and pork quality, were employed to test different tuna oil feeding regimens. The focus was put on the efficiency to enrich lean and adipose tissue with n-3 fatty acids and the expression of adverse side-effects on performance, carcass, and pork quality. The 4 treatments were 0% tuna oil in diet...

backgrounds and objectives:today, one of the most important environmental issues is solid waste produced in dentistry that because of the presence of hazardous, toxic and pathogen agents has special importance. in this survey, solid waste produced in hamadan dentistry laboratories and practical dentist offices is studied.materials and methods: in this descriptive study, from 24 dentistry labora...

The by-product from tuna processing is a potential source of edible protein. Therefore, it is very important to extract protein from such raw materials for human food. In this study the optimum pH for protein extraction from tuna by-products was optimized by using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the single factor model were used...

Life-history traits such as spawning migrations and timing of reproduction are adaptations to specific environmental constraints and seasonal cycles in many organisms' annual routines. In this study we analyse how offspring fitness constrains spawning phenology in a large migratory apex predator, the Atlantic bluefin tuna. The reproductive schedule of Atlantic bluefin tuna varies between spawni...

This study reports the cardiovascular physiology of the Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) in an in situ heart preparation. The performance of the Pacific bluefin tuna heart was examined at temperatures from 30 degrees C down to 2 degrees C. Heart rates ranged from 156 beats min(-1) at 30 degrees C to 13 beats min(-1) at 2 degrees C. Maximal stroke volumes were 1.1 ml x kg(-1) at 25 degr...

RANSFERRIN pol.ymorphism has been demonstrated by gel electrophoresis Tin many vertebrates. These include men (SMITHIES and HILLER 1959), monkeys (GOODMAN and POULIK 1961), cattle (ASHTON 1958; SMITHIES and HICKMAN 1958), sheep and goats (ASHTON and FERGUSON 1963; EFREMOV and BRAEND 1964), horses (BRAEND and STORMONT 1964), burros (NIECE and KRACHT 1967), pigs (ASHTON 1960a), mice (ASHTON and B...

Existing reliable transport protocols for periodic information dissemination ignore application semantics while attempting to be 100% reliable. \Application Level Framing" (ALF) suggests that taking application semantics into account when designing transport protocols can result in performance that is highly optimized for the network. We apply this principle in designing a policy-based TUNAble ...
