a crossbreeding experiment involving four iranian fat-tailed sheep breeds, namely kurdi (k), chaal (c), afshari (a) and sanjabi (s) was carried out to determine the ram breed effects on productivity of kurdi fat-tailed ewes (k) under extensive production system. a total of 475 kurdi ewes were mated to 24 rams from four breeds producing 454 lambs including pure kurdi, kk, (116 lambs), afshari × ...

In earlier work, we showed that exponential (Urbach) band-edge states were localized on connected subnetworks of short bonds for the valence tail and long bonds for the conduction tail for high-quality continuous random network models of amorphous silicon. Here, we study size effects by computing the electronic density of states for a 105-atom model of α-Si proposed by G. T. Barkema and N. Mous...

We study the height and width of a Galton–Watson tree with offspring distribution ξ satisfying E ξ = 1, 0 < Var ξ < ∞, conditioned on having exactly n nodes. Under this conditioning, we derive sub-Gaussian tail bounds for both the width (largest number of nodes in any level) and height (greatest level containing a node); the bounds are optimal up to constant factors in the exponent. Under the s...

SIEBENMANN (1908) described lipidproteinosis, and the condition was subsequently reported as a clinical entity by Urbach and Wiethe (1929). During infancy and early childhood a structureless eosinophilic substance develops under the epithelium of the skin and upper respiratory tract. Hoarseness is followed by a skin eruption giving a pale, yellow-brown, pock-marked appearance, especially on the...

With the use of conventional anatomical dissection, radiography, digital and statistical analysis, morphometry and skeletopy of the pancreas was carried out in 60 human foetuses of both sexes (28 female, 32 male) between the 17th and 40th week of intrauterine life. The material was fixed in a 10% formalin solution. The age of the foetuses was determined by crown-rump (CR) length measurement on ...

The population of M. incognita, the root knot nematode (RKN) was found infesting five different host plants (okra, banana, sunflower, bottle gourd, and brinjal) out of 24 examined from four districts of Punjab, India (Gurdaspur, Ludhiana, Patiala, and Hoshiarpur). Morphological and morphometrical characterization indicated that in the case of mature female, the characters of body length and wid...

Recent optical stimulation suggests a vital non-contact pathway to manipulate both macroscopic and microscopic ferroelectric properties paves the foundation for optoelectronics devices. However, up date, most optical-related manipulation of is restricted due their intrinsic bandgap limited visible light spectrum absorption. Here, we reveal non-oxide Sn2P2S6 single crystal possesses full-visible...
