Two studies examined whether everyday food choice motives (FCMs) and abstract values constitute food choice ideologies (FCIs), whether these ideologies reflect the same normativism-humanism polarity as Tomkins' theory suggests to reflect ideologies in general, and whether various dietary groups endorse FCIs in different ways. In Study 1, 82 female participants filled in the Food Choice Question...

OBJECTIVES TO STUDY THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ENTOMOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE, THE HOUSE INDEX (HI), CONTAINER INDEX (CI), AND BRETEAU INDEX (BI) WERE DETERMINED TO ESTIMATE THE DEGREE OF A MAJOR DENGUE OUTBREAK IN TIRUNELVELI, TAMIL NADU, INDIA (LATITUDE: 8°42'N; Longitude: 77°42'E) in May 2012. METHODS The HI, CI, and BI were determined in a primary health center (PHC) in the village of Maruthamputhur...

Day old 144 broiler chicks were randomly divided into 6 groups. Groups I, II, III and IV received 0.0, 0.25, 0.50 and 1ppm of dietary T-2 toxin respectively. Arginine (22 g/ kg) and vitamin E (80 mg/kg) were supplemented to Groups V and VI which respectively had 0.0 and 1 ppm of dietary T-2 toxin. The test diets were fed for 0-28 days. On day 28, humoral immunity was measured as an antibody res...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp in corn- soybean meal diets on egg production, egg traits and as well as blood metabolites of laying hens. throughout the experiment, 144 hi- line (w36) laying hens from 65 to 76 weeks of age were assigned to 4 treatments of 3 replicates each, with 12 hens per replicate. a completely randomized design ...

Micrographia is a common symptom in Parkinson’s disease, which manifests as either a consistent or progressive reduction in the size of handwriting or both.
