prices of meat in the international and a nation's internal markets tend to be closely related to each other. this relation could be sometimes harmful and due to lagged responses, meat prices at the internal market would subsequently increase as input prices increase at either the internal or international market. price uncertainty and transmition are two important problems facing a nation...

CO2 conversion to added value products using green processes in terms of source energy, energy consumption, and/or management raw materials obtained from waste are very attractive approaches for a modern sustainable society. In this work, such integrated, converting into ethanol by polluted air as feeding gas. More specifically, recycled permanently polarized hydroxyapatite catalysts prepared a...

PURPOSE Photoreceptor differentiation involves the activation of two specific sets of genes; those encoding the proteins of the phototransduction cascade and those encoding the enzymes of the melatonin synthesis pathway, arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) and hydroxyindole O-methyltransferase (HIOMT). The purpose of the present study was to examine the conditions of AANAT and HIOMT gene...

A 23-year-old male referred with a history of chicken bone swallowing a week ago (Figure 1). Endoscopy was performed at our center and a chicken bone was found penetrating the esophageal walls (Figure 2). The patient was managed successfully using flexible endoscopy and the chicken bone was removed.

green architecture, or green design, is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. the “green” architect or designer attempts to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices. so, green architecture is building and structure design philosophy that aims at minimal use of non-renewable and/or...

The most prevalent malnutrition issues in Sri Lanka are the protein-energy (PEM), vitamin A deficiency, and iron deficiency. Childhood adolescence crucial stages of life which mostly susceptible to since their major physiological psychological changes take place. Although a balanced, nutritious diet is essential them, present socio-economical higher academic expectations have created complex en...

The direction of production for indigenous chicken breeds is currently unknown and this knowledge, combined with the development of chicken genome-wide association studies, led us to investigate differences in specific loci between broiler and layer chicken using bioinformatic methods. In addition, we analyzed the distribution of these seven identified loci in four Chinese indigenous chicken br...

Green asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is a widely grown and consumed crop which provides high-level nutritional interest. In recent years, the decline syndrome in plantations has been rapidly augmenting. This causes early death of whole plants, also negatively affecting new replanting. Decline notable economic losses sector. The objective this work was to verify effect different treatments...

Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor (PRR), can sense various RNA viruses, including the avian influenza virus (AIV) and infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), and trigger the innate immune response. Previous studies have shown that mammalian RIG-I (human and mice) and waterfowl RIG-I (ducks and geese) are essential for type I interferon (IFN) synthe...

Background: Detection of food adulteration is an important issue from aspects of food control and food regulation. This study aimed to detect adulteration of chicken meat in raw hamburger using species specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Methods: Raw hamburgers including 42 handmade and 48 industrial samples were collected from 90 restaurants and supermarkets. Following genomic DNA extra...
