The in-medium modifications on the K − /K + ratio produced at GSI are studied. Particular attention is paid to the properties of antikaons, which determine the chemical potential and temperature at freeze-out conditions. Different approaches have been considered: non-interacting K − , on-shell self-energy and single-particle spectral density. We observe that the full off-shell approach reproduc...

One of the most economic exploitation, widely cultivated, and financially viable non-mulberry silkworms is eri silkworm (Philosamia ricini). The feeds that consume have a significant impact on their yield silk production. A study was conducted to assess growth characteristics eco races in circumstances western region Tamil Nadu. Central Muga Eri Research Institute Jorhat, Assam provided silkwor...

Despite extensive research on mechanisms generating biases in sex ratios, the capacity of natural enemies to shift or further skew operational sex ratios following sex allocation and parental care remains largely unstudied in natural populations. Male cocoons of the sawfly Neodiprion abietis (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) are consistently smaller than those of females, with very little overlap, and...

This article presents the analysis of methods preliminary treatment live cocoons and de-animation sponges currently used in our republic. Time-varying microwave inactivation living grown season 1 silkworms was investigated. Under influence microwaves, heating cocoon shell, degree death sponge, amount with internal spots depending on temperature, silkiness, output slime, level continuous wormine...

We have conducted a thorough and blind search for emission lines in > 70 Swift X-ray afterglows of total exposure ∼ 10s. We find that most afterglows are consistent with pure power-laws plus extinction. Significant outliers to the population exist at the 5-10% level and have anomalously soft, possibly thermal spectra. Four bursts are singled out via possible detections of 2-5 lines: GRBs 060218...

Intestinal obstruction is a fairly common surgical emergency that usually occurs due to herniae, adhesions, or bands. Rarely, uncommon causes such as an abdominal cocoon are encountered, where part or all of the small intestine is encased within a thin membrane. We report one such case of abdominal cocoon, in whom, further encasement of the distal ileum was seen within a separate membrane.

In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of 12 hours delay and time advancement of Bombyx mori larvae transfer to spinning frames on the economic traits of harvested cocoons. Our experience focused on the transfer of three lots of silkworm mature larvae to cocoon frames with 12 hours delay or advancement from usual spinning time. Commercial silkworm eggs were obtained and thr...

The silk of silkworm consists of fibroin fiber coated by sericins. In addition, some nonprotein components were also identified in the sericin fraction. The presence of nonprotein components in the silk has not been well explained. In the present study, methods based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to identify the metabolites in the cocoon silk from a wild silkworm and two dom...
