the study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of an estradiol-17β + cidr based protocol with the conventional ovsynch + cidr based protocol for synchrony of wave emergence and ovulation in murrah buffalos. in group i (n=25), on day 0 (beginning of experiment), buffaloes were administered a cidr device (1.38 g p4) and concurrently received 1.5 mg e-17β. on day 9, the cidr was removed and a pr...

This study was undertaken to estimate the genetic parameters for some reproduction traits in Sistani beef cattle. The data set consisted of 1489 records of number of insemination, calving, and insemination dates in different calving was used. Reproduction traits including calving interval (CI), gestation length (GL), days open (DO), calving to first service (CTFS), first service to conception (...

spinoza thinks that god is the only existent substance and all things are manifestations of it. in his view the manifestations of god in all infinite worlds is by his attributes which are infinite numerally and by their natures and they are united with his nature. in this world his nature has manifested by two attributes: thought and extension. spinoza’s conception of god is so ambiguous that a...

Abstract In this paper, we examine the relationship between temperature and human conception rates project impacts of climate change by mid-twenty-first century. Using complete administrative data on 6.8 million pregnancies 1980 2015 in Hungary, show that exposure to hot temperatures reduces rate first few weeks following exposure, but a partial rebound is observed after that. We with absent ad...

Many brain regions have been defined, but a comprehensive formalization of each region's function in relation to human behavior is still lacking. Current knowledge comes from various fields, which have diverse conceptions of 'functions'. We briefly review these fields and outline how the heterogeneity of associations could be harnessed to disclose the computational function of any region. Aggre...

Timing diagrams are useful for capturing temporal specifications in which all mentioned events are required to occur. We first show that translating timing diagrams with both partial orders on events and don’t-care regions to LTL potentially yields exponentially larger formulas containing several non-localized terms corresponding to the same event. This raises a more fundamental question: which...

the root endophytic fungus, piriformospora indica, colonizes roots of a large number of plant species including cereals and brasicaceae. there are several reports indicating that p. indica protects roots from different path-ogens. in the present study, rice plants were pre-inoculated with p. indica and were subsequently infected with fusarium proliferatum, as the causal agent of root rot and cr...

In this paper, thermal effects of laser irradiance on biological tissue is investigated using computer simulations. Earlier attempts in this field made use of finite difference and finite element techniques. Here a novel approach is adopted to improve the results. The effect of our implicit approach on the convergence procedure and accuracy of results, with different timing steps, is explor...
