This study was done to evaluate the effect of different planting arrangements (square, lozenge and rectangular) and various concentrations of potassium sulfate (K2SO4) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) on yield and essential oils quantitative of Calendula officinalis L., a medicinal and ornamental plant. The experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (R.C.B.D...

OBJECTIVE To examine the factor structure of the 144-item Chinese version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and its association with age and gender in a large non-clinical population. METHOD We recruited 1966 non-clinical participants in China who completed the TCI Chinese version. They were randomly divided into two independent samples. One sample (n=983) was used for explorat...

The effects of dietary supplemental vitamin E (VE) and chromium (Cr) on egg production (EP), egg quality, serum concentrations of Cr and insulin and activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were evaluated in Lohmann LSL-Lite laying hens reared under thermoneutral or heat stress (HS) conditions. A total of 144 laying hens were distributed in 24 cages and assigned to feed four diets including ...

Thirty-six Angus x Hereford heifers (365 kg) were used to determine effects of dietary lipid supplementation from two sources during the final 32 or 60 d of feeding on serum and adipose tissue leptin concentrations, animal performance, and carcass characteristics. Following an initial feeding period of 56 d, heifers were fed one of three diets in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement: 1) basal diet, 2)...

The objective of the current study was to develop and optimize a novel lyophilized liposomal formulation anticancer agent carmustine, or bis-chloroethyl nitrosourea (BCNU) for prolonged release that could overcome dose-dependent side effects improve its bioavailability at site action. optimization done using 32 factorial design approach wherein soya phosphatidylcholine (SPC) cholesterol (CH) as...

But these experiments [2] will not give us any information about the dependence or independence of the two factors, namely study habit and home environment. In such cases, we resort to Factorial ANOVA which not only helps us to study the effect of two or more factors but also gives information about their dependence or independence in the same experiment. There are many types of factorial desig...

sesame is one of the oldest crops in the world that is commonly cultivated in arid and semi-arid due to high oil seeds (42-52 %). this study was conducted to investigate the effects of sulfur and biological fertilizers on physiological parameters of sesame at sari agriculture sciences and natural resources university in 2014 crop year. the experiment was conducted in a split factorial design ba...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of canola oil and diet mixing time length on performance, carcass traits and blood lipids in broilers. In this experiment 288 Ross-308 broilers were used from 11 up to 42 days as factorial arrangement (3×2) included three levels of canola oil (0, 3 and 6%) and two mixing time length (10 and 15 minute) in 6 treatments, ...

In this paper, we present an unexpected link between the Factorial Conjecture ([8]) and Furter’s Rigidity Conjecture ([13]). The Factorial Conjecture in dimension m asserts that if a polynomial f in m variables Xi over C is such that L(f) = 0 for all k ≥ 1, then f = 0, where L is the C-linear map from C[X1, · · · , Xm] to C defined by L(X l1 1 · · ·X lm m ) = l1! · · · lm!. The Rigidity Conject...

Introduction. A pseudoline is formed from a line by stretching the plane without tearing: it is the image of a line under a homeomorphism of the plane [13]. In arrangements of pseudolines, pairs of pseudolines intersect at most once and cross at their intersections. Pseudoline arrangements can be used to model sorting networks [1], tilings of convex polygons by rhombi [4], and graphs that have ...
