We argue that Chinese Sign Language (CSL) provides new insights into temporal anaphora, as well puzzles. Partee 1973 showed talk in English involves abstract anaphoric mechanisms akin to pronouns, although with a very different form. Schlenker 2013 argued American (ASL), one and the same overt pronominal form, pointing sign, can have individual uses, but his data involved loci across domains: n...

Three levels of lysine (90, 100 and 110% of Ross requirement) and of pyridoxine (3, 6 and 9 mg kg-1) were used in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment to investigate the growth and blood antioxidant ability of broilers under high ambient temperature. None of the dietary supplements affected the weight gain during the starter and grower periods. Although no significant differences were detect...

A “role set” is the set of classes in a class hierarchy where an object may reside simultaneously. A “migration pattern” is a sequence of role sets that an object can migrate through. We define a “migration inventory”, which is a set of migration patterns, as a dynamic integrity constraint on object migration. We consider three update languages: SL which has five operators, CSL+ which extends S...

the effect of honey, royal jelly and bee pollenon performance, immune system and blood factors of japanese quail, using 160 quail chicks in a completely randomized design by four treatments ]control (without additives), pollen powder 1 g/kg, royal jelly 125 ppm/l, honey 22 g/l) and four replicates of 10 chicks in each replication for 42 days. the experimental groups had no significant effect on...

Aflatoxins are carcinogenic metabolites produced by several strains of Aspergillus flavus group in food and feed. Cluster genes in aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway contain structural, regular and unassigned genes , nor-1 , ver-1 , and omt-1 are structural genes that coding for key enzymes and aflR is a regulatory gene that plays a key role in the production of aflatoxin and is affecting on the s...

We determined the effects of dietary supplementation of different doses of Miswak (Salvadorapersica) steam and leaf powder on the performance, blood parameters, cecal flora, and carcass traits of broilers. Four hundred and eight one-day old Ross 308 broiler chicks were provided one of the following experimental diets over 42 days:  a basal diet without any additives, or a basal diet supplemente...

BACKGROUND CSL (CBF1/RBP-Jκ/Suppressor of Hairless/LAG-1) transcription factors are the effector components of the Notch receptor signalling pathway, which is critical for metazoan development. The metazoan CSL proteins (class M) can also function in a Notch-independent manner. Recently, two novel classes of CSL proteins, designated F1 and F2, have been identified in fungi. The role of the fung...

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 ...
