in order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-l tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. on day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (gh) mrna levels and serum gh concentrations were examined by real-time qpcr and elisa te...

In this study, the effect of hygrothermal conditioning on the moisture diffusion properties of the fabric composite (glass fiber/epoxy resin) was investigated. The water uptake of the specimens conditioned in humid environment at different relative humidities (0, 60 and 96 % r.h) at constant temperature (60°C) was evaluated by weight gain measurements. The moisture diffusion properties of the f...
