Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of offering a multi-material innovative (MMI) feed including: Vitex agnus-castus, Thymus vulgaris, Lavandula angustifolia, Marigold (Calendula officinalis) on curtails molting and sex hormone concentrations in canaries and laying hens. In the first study, a total of 120 female molted canaries were allotted in to 12 cages of 10 birds with 4 ...

The Notch signaling pathway is an intercellular communication network vital to metazoan development. Notch activation leads to the nuclear localization of the intracellular portion (NICD) of the Notch receptor. Once in the nucleus, NICD binds the transcription factor CSL through a bivalent interaction involving the high-affinity RAM region and the lower affinity ANK domain, converting CSL from ...

The performance of membrane elements operating in a reverse osmosis system is affected by the feed water composition, feed temperature, feed pressure, and permeate recovery ratio. Membrane compaction and fouling also affect membrane performance. Performance at a given set of system operating parameters can be calculated from nominal membrane performance at reference test conditions. I. FEED WAT...

A lectin that displays specificity for the core region of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides (Man3GlcNAc2-Asn) was isolated from human serum and liver by affinity chromatography on mannan-Sepharose. The designation 'core-specific lectin' (CSL) is used to indicate its specificity. Selective elution of human CSL from mannan-Sepharose was accomplished with 50 mM-mannose. Two additional proteins th...

The security of IoT-based digital solutions is a critical concern in the adoption Industry 4.0 technologies. These are increasingly being used to support interoperability infrastructure, such as water and energy sectors, their essential ensure continued reliability integrity these systems. However, our research demonstrates, many still lack basic mechanisms vulnerable attacks that can compromis...

An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the effects of a liquid prebiotic (LP) on the carcass, digestive tract, and productive traits of Japanese quail. Eighty 7-day-old Japanese quails were randomly divided into 2 treatments. Each treatment consisted of 4 replicates (pens) of 10 birds each. The first treatment (control) contained a standard recommended diet with no added prebiotic. The se...
