The morphometric, productive and reproductive traits of indigenous cattle at Sylhet district were studied. A wide variety of coat colours among the cattle of the selected areas was observed. Most of them were of roan colour. The body is small, compact and less fleshy. Wither height and hearth girth were 89.03±11.11 and 112.09±16.68 cm, respectively. The average body length was 119.85±16.96 cm a...

Human neurodegenerative tauopathies exhibit pathological tau aggregates in the brain along with diverse clinical features including cognitive and motor dysfunction. Post-translational modifications including phosphorylation, ubiquitination and truncation, are characteristic features of tau present in the brain in human tauopathy. We have previously reported an N-terminally truncated form of tau...

Thermal modelling and optimal design of a solar absorption cooling system are presented, and hourly analysis is performed over the period of a year. Three design parameters are considered, then the Real Parameter Genetic Algorithm (RPGA) is applied to obtain the minimum total annual cost. The optimization results show that the solar cooling optimum configuration needs 1630 square meter collecto...

Morphological traits of the whole udder (circumference, width, height, and length), teats (angle, length and width), udder cistern (teat opening and cistern height), and milk yield were measured over one lactation in a total of 18 ewes (nine Chilota and nine Suffolk Down sheep) belonging to the same experimental flock (Centro Experimental INIA Butalcura, Chiloé, Chile). Analysis of variance sho...

Inductive thermography is a non-destructive testing method, whereby the specimen slightly heated with short heating pulse (0.1–1 s) and temperature change on surface recorded an infrared (IR) camera. Eddy current induced by means of high frequency (HF) magnetic field in ‘skin’ specimen. Since cracks disturb eddy distribution heat diffusion, they become visible IR images. Head checks squats are ...

The population parameters of Malabar trevally (Carangoides malabaricus) were studied in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea from December 2016 to November 2017. 1030 specimens were collected. The fork length ranged from 14 to 34 cm, with average 25.60±3.52 cm. The total weight ranged from 60.4 to 534.5 g, with average 329.03±113.46 g. The asymptotic length (L∞) and growth coefficient (K) were 37 cm a...

Increased productivity in the industry can be achieved by breeding for productive longevity through searching and using genetic markers. The study analysed data of 1476 animals with at least one completed lactation. Depending on linear affiliation kappa-casein gene genotype servicing bulls, their female offspring were divided into 4 groups. CSN3 A allele frequency studied bulls was 81.91%, B 18...
