This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous administration of synthetic eugenol (EG) for disbudding of goat kids, as a new chemical method. Thirty apparently healthy Raieni (Cashmere) goat kids (five-day-old) were divided randomly into six groups (n = 5). In the pathology (P) groups (P3, P8 and P60 according to the sample collection day after...

In the spring of 2009 (April/May) the Denver Zoological Foundation in collaboration with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences conducted a fi eld coprological assessment feasibility study at the Ikh Nart Nature Reserve in southeastern Mongolia. Our initial effort was directed at fi nding simple methodologies that would work consistently in the fi eld for identifying some of the enteric parasites fo...

Among different types of controlling systems, the ON/OFF digital relative humidity control was used for measuring electrical properties of cashmere fibers to make the ambient relative humidity fixed. To achieve this goal the required hardware and software were designed and fabricated. The electrical resistance of fine and coarse hair cashmere fiber was measured by charge and discharge condenser...

Abstract Cashmere and wool are common raw materials in the textile industry. The clothes made of cashmere popular because excellent comfort. A system that can quickly automatically classify two will improve efficiency fiber recognition We propose a classification method fibers based on feature fusion using maximum inter-class variance. First, target area is obtained by preprocessing algorithm. ...

We consider the effect attackers who disrupt anonymous communications have on the security of traditional highand low-latency anonymous communication systems, as well as on the Hydra-Onion and Cashmere systems that aim to offer reliable mixing, and Salsa, a peer-to-peer anonymous communication network. We show that denial of service (DoS) lowers anonymity as messages need to get retransmitted t...

OINCE its domestication the goat has served man well. As a source of milk, meat, mohair, and skins it has furnished him both food and clothing, and because of its brush-eating proclivities, has spared him untold amounts of hard labor with the brush hook.
