Environmental strains are causing consumers to trade up to greener alternatives and many brown products are losing market coverage to premium-priced green rivals. In order to tackle this threat, many companies currently offering only brown products are contemplating the launch of a green product to complement their product portfolio. This paper provides strategic insights into and tactical rami...

there are various parameters that affect stability and expansion of failure zones in under pressure tunnels. among the important parameters that affect failure zones around the tunnels are cohesion and internal friction angle of the rock mass. in addition, the cross sectional shape is the considerable point in failure distribution around the tunnels. the stress analysis method is one of the app...

El objetivo fue caracterizar el crecimiento de aves Criollas Mexicanas (CMX), Hy-Line Brown (HLB) y Rhode Island Red (RIR) mediante los modelos Gompertz-Laird (MNGL), Logístico (MNL), Richards (MNR) Von Bertalanffy(MNVB). Se utilizaron 70 pollitas cada genotipo. Cada ave identificada para registrar su peso 7 a 210 d edad. Los parámetros se estimaron con procedimiento NLIN (algoritmo Marquardt) ...

The aim of the present work was to compare the effect of organic production vs standard cage system on welfare and performance of a pure breed (Ancona) vs a commercial strain (Brown Hy-Line) of laying hens through a multifunctional approach (behaviour, tonic immobility, feathers score, antioxidant status of the body, blood parameters, innate immunity and mortality). The trial was carried out in...

Immortalized brown adipocyte cell lines have been generated from fetuses of mice deficient in the insulin-like growth factor I receptor gene (IGF-IR(-/-)), as well as from fetuses of wild-type mice (IGF-IR(+/+)). These cell lines maintained the expression of adipogenic- and thermogenic-differentiation markers and show a multilocular fat droplets phenotype. IGF-IR(-/-) brown adipocytes lacked IG...

The availability of a complete peach genome assembly and three different peach genome sequences created by our group provide new opportunities for application of genomic data and can improve the power of the classical Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) approaches to identify candidate genes for peach disease resistance. Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp., is the most important fungal disease of ston...

During the past 2 years we have been investigating the effect of painting with methylcholanthrene on the development of leukosis in dilute brown (strain Dba) mice (4, 5)The strain has been extensively studied by Little and Murray (3, 6, 7)" Although it is generally considered to have a high incidence of spontaneous mammary carcinoma, several sublines have been developed in which the tumor incid...

In this paper we present the Brown Dwarf, a distributed system designed to efficiently store, query and update multidimensional data over commodity network nodes, without the use of any proprietary tool. Brown Dwarf manages to distribute a highly effective centralized structure among peers on-the-fly, reducing cube creation and query times by enforcing parallelization. Both point and aggregate ...
