Much attention has been given in recent years to observations and models that show that variations in the transport of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and in the Gulf Stream (GS) can contribute to interannual, decadal, and multi-decadal variations in coastal sea level (CSL) along the US East Coast. However, less is known about the impact of short-term (time scales of days...

the aim of the present work was to determine whether the administration of melatonin or l­-tryptophan (a precursor of melatonin) affects the immune responses and performance of broilers during induced exposure to aflatoxins in feed. the study was conducted from 0-6 weeks comprising six dietary treatments in triplicate with10 chickens in each replicate. the diets were formulated to supply 23% cr...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of satureja khuzistanica essential oils (skeo) on performance, serum metabolites and differential counts of white blood cells in broiler chickens. a total of 280 one-day-old straight-run cobb 500 broiler chickens were allocated into seven treatment groups with four replicates of 10 birds each from day 1 to 42 of age. the birds were continuously...

industries in developing countries add new production lines producing altogether different waste stream. this newer waste invariably finds its way to existing anaerobic treatment system causing gradual/sudden change in feed substrates affecting its steady performances. this study investigates steady response of anaerobic reactors subjected to sudden change in feed substrate types, assesses its ...

Fouling of membranes decreases the applicability of the nanofiltration (NF) process, and thus a deeper understanding of membrane fouling is needed. Fouling and retention of different NF membranes by model feed waters was investigated in a laboratory-scale filtration unit. The model waters were composed so as to imitate the characteristics of chemically pre-treated surface water. No differences ...

acid-binding capacity (abc) of a feed is the amount of acid required to reduce the ph of feed to a special level such as 3. all poultry feed ingredients used in this study were collected from feed mills in iran. the ph and abc were determined using the standard methods in deionized and magnetized water at room and body temperatures. the ph of most feed ingredients was raised in magnetized water...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of0 (control), 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 ml/l of shirazi thyme aqueous extract in drinking water on performance and immune response in broilers. two hundred one- day- old broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to five treatments with four replicates and 10 birds per cage in a completely randomized design. daily feed intake, daily body weight gain and...

The present paper deals with development of a simulation model for the performance evaluation of feed water system of a thermal power plant using Markov Birth-Death process and probabilistic approach. In present paper, the feed water system consists of four subsystems. After drawing transition diagram for feed water system, differential equations are developed and then solved recursively using ...

in this study, the effect of carbon and nitrogen sources, on production of yeast biomass was determined as well as the efficacy of various formulations of candida membranifaciens to decrease blue mold on apple. the media containing sugar cane molasses as carbon sources caused more yeast growth than the media supplemented with permeate powder. yeast extract as nitrogen source produced higher bio...

This study was carried out to investigate the use of antibiotic in feed and medication programs and their effects on broilers Serum Cholesterol and Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT). The broilers were sampled randomly from four small-scale broiler producers (BP1, BP2, BP3, BP4) in Semarang regionCentral Java, Indonesia. Observed data comprising medication programs and the types of feed i...
