Nutritional Studies of Zygorhynchus Species

Cytomorphological Studies in Dugesia Species of Iran

OPTICAL STUDIES OF COLORED CHEMICAL SPECIES

Evanescent wave spectroscopy using thin optically transparent electrodes and multiple reflections allows unique observations of the electrochemical interphase since the region of solution sampled is typically 100 nm from the electrode in the visible spectral region. This technique is found to be highly sensitive to the presence of absorbing adsorbed species

Statistical analysis of nutritional studies.

Statistical analysis of data collected in experimental or observational studies is an important part of nutritional research. If it is not done appropriately, there is a risk that information in the data is lost, or that conclusions are misleading. The present article does not attempt a full review of the subject of statistics, but attempts to list aspects where care is needed.

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

The musk shrew (Suncus murinus): a model species for studies of nutritional regulation of reproduction.

Reproduction is the most energetically costly process that most female mammals ever undergo. When nutritional resources are scarce, and there is a high probability that females will be unable to cope with this energetic challenge, reproductive processes are inhibited. This process is highly conserved and likely adaptive and reversible when nutritional resources become available. Although the nu...
