the aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive efficiency of short and long term treatment with progestagens in addition to pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (pmsg) in arabian ewes during the non-breeding season. a total of 56 ewes were divided into three groups: in group i vaginal sponges (60 mg medroxy progesterone acetate; map) were applied and removed after 6 days; in group ii, vagin...

We introduce and study a natural notion of probabilistic 1Lipschitz maps. We prove that the space of all probabilistic 1-Lipschitz maps defined on a probabilistic metric space G is also a probabilistic metric space. Moreover, when G is a group, then the space of all probabilistic 1-Lipschitz maps defined on G can be endowed with a monoid structure. Then, we caracterize the probabilistic invaria...

This experiment was conducted to determine the reproductive performance of Arabian ewes treated with short and long-term progesterone devices in addition to low doses of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) during the anoestrus season. A total of 36 ewes were divided into three groups: in group I vaginal sponges (60 mg medroxy progesterone acetate; (MAP)) were applied and removed after 6 days; i...

We show the existence of a global unique and analytic solution for the mean curvature flow and the Willmore flow of entire graphs for Lipschitz initial data with small Lipschitz norm. We also show the existence of a global unique and analytic solution to the Ricci-DeTurck flow on euclidean space for bounded initial metrics which are close to the euclidean metric in L∞ and to the harmonic map fl...

A trial was conducted to test the efficiency of different doses of intravaginal progestagen in the synchronization of different goat breeds, in the breeding season. Sixty Multiparous Boer and 60 Indigenous feral does were allocated to three treatment groups. The groups consisted of a control group (natural oestrus) (n=20/breed); 60mg MAP sponge groups inserted for 14 days plus 300IU PMSG at spo...

In this paper Theorem 3.1 of Kubiaczyk and Sushil Sharma [5] is shown to hold even under weaker hypothesis (Theorem 2.2) and we obtain a fixed point theorem (Theorem 2.3) involving occasionally weakly compatible maps and also prove a coincidence point theorem (Theorem 2.4) for a pair of self maps under certain conditions. Examples are provided to show that the hypothesis in Theorems 2.3 and 2.4...

A total of 2567 indigenous Greek ewes (Chios, Vlachiki and VlachikixChios breeds) were used to determine the optimum time for insemination, following synchronization of oestrus with MAP-impregnated intravaginal sponges and PMSG during non-breeding season. Within each breed group, the ewes were divided into three subgroups and submitted to a double blind cervical artificial insemination 48 and 6...

A polyurethane foam (PUF) sponge was mounted in a cassette sampler and evaluated as a sorbent for the collection of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) monomer and HDI-based oligomers. Recovery studies indicated 112 +/- 34% average recovery of HDI monomer and 92 +/- 9% and 97 +/- 25% average recovery of HDI-based oligomers when using impregnated PUF sponges. The PUF sponge was also evaluated durin...

the down-flow hanging sponge (dhs) reactor, which was developed for post-treatment of effluent from up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) process treating sewage, uses polyurethane sponge as media to retain biomass. wastewater is trickled from the top of the reactor and purified by microorganisms retained both inside and outside of the sponge media as the wastewater flows vertically down thr...
