In this study, we measured the composition and free radical scavenging activity of several species of nuts, namely, Torreya grandis, Carya cathayensis,and Myrica rubra. The nut kernels of the aforementioned species are rich in fatty acids, particularly in unsaturated fatty acids, and have 51% oil content. T. grandis and C. cathayensis are mostly produced in ZheJiang province. The trace elements...

Measurements were made on protein sup,plcments in.a basal diet, of dry matter, nitrogen and amino acid digestibilities using mature and' adult cockerels. Birds were killed 5h after receiving their diet in a single feed. Analyses were made on digesta from (i) the ileum, (ii) the terminal ileum, (iii) post caeca, and on excreta. In a second exDeriment -adult cockerels were fitted with a sitiple c...

Roasting has considerable effects on the quality of cream made of nuts. In this study, the roasting conditions of walnut kernels were optimized based on the stability parameters of the produced cream. Temperatures of 100-150°C for 10-30 minutes were used to roast walnut kernels. The amount of oil separation, peroxide, acidity and Thiobarbituric acid values of the cream, as well as color paramet...

Numerous techniques for injection into the distal sesamoid bursa (navicular bursa) have been described, especially in equine, but there are few specific descriptions regarding this practice being done in cattle. Five different techniques were compared for injection into the distal sesamoid bursa in cattle including distal plantar approach parallel with the coronary band, proximal plantar approa...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an action $Y_X$as a generalization of the notion of a module,and the notion of a norm $vt: Y_Xto F$, where $F$ is a field and $vartriangle(xy)vartriangle(y') =$ $ vartriangle(y)vartriangle(xy')$ as well as the notion of fuzzy norm, where $vt: Y_Xto [0, 1]subseteq {bf R}$, with $bf R$  the set of all real numbers. A great many standard mappings on algebr...

background: here we describe a new case of partial distal 10q trisomy in a 6-year-old iranian girl from healthy parents with mental, growth, and psychomotor retardations. methods: additional clinical features include dysmorphic craniofacial features, microcephaly, bilateral hydronephrosis without heart problems, small and rotated low-set ears, bow-shaped mouth, abnormal teeth, short neck, and a...

anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. the distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...

The scallop, Pecten, a bivalved mollusk, has approximately 100 brilliantly colored blue-green eyes a millimeter or so in diameter located along the free margins of the mantle. Eaz.h eye contains a double retina which is separated from the lens by a thin connective tissue septum. Just beneath the septum lies the distal retina with its two cell types: the distal sense cell (Dakin's (1910) termino...

A new species, namely Astioberotha coutreti sp. nov., of the thorny lacewing subfamily Paraberothinae, is described and illustrated from a complete individual preserved in mid-Cretaceous amber Tanai, northern Myanmar. nov. preserves nearly all diagnostic characters this subfamily, differs type species genus owing to fore femur with one long basal spine 34 additional smaller spines; protibia bea...
