Emerging evidence at the mRNA level indicates that feeding high-grain diets to ruminants leads to coordinated changes in the molecular response of the rumen epithelium. Yet, epithelial adaptation of the hindgut to increasing dietary grain levels has not been established in ruminants. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize alterations in mRNA expression associated with nutrie...

in order to study the source limitation and contribution of pre-anthesis assimilates to grain in dual-purpose (forage and grain) barley, a field experiment was carried out in iran, ahvaz region. the experimental design was split plot in randomized complete block with three replications. application rates of nitrogen at four levels (60, 120, 180 and 220 kg.ha-1 n) were as main plots, while sub p...

Grain amaranth is an emerging crop that produces seeds having high quality protein with balanced amino-acid content. However, production is restricted by agronomic limitations that result in yields that are lower than those normally produced by cereals. In this work, the use of five different rhizobacteria were explored as a strategy to promote growth and yields in Amaranthus hypochondriacus cv...

A field experiment was conducted in 2010, to evaluate the effects of plant density (D1, D2 and D3: 8, 14 and 20 plant/m2) on field performance of Sorghum under different nitrogen application rates (N1, N2 and N3: application of 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha Nitrogen, respectively). The experiment was arranged as factorial based...

Diagnosis of large discrete event systems leads to combinatorial explosion. We propose to solve this issue by ignoring some connections on the system and using a junction treebased approach. Removing connections reduces both the cost and the accuracy of the diagnosis. Therefore, we perform an off-line analysis to determine which connections can be safely ignored.

in order to evaluate the efficiency of inoculation of chickpea seeds with mesorhizobium and application of nitrogen on yield and yield components of chickpea an experiment was conducted in research station of neishobour, khorasan-razavi. the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications and 13 treatments including mesorhizobium (swri 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 1...

This study investigated the contrast ratio and grain size depending on sintering parameters of twelve different zirconia materials and compared with glass-ceramic (N=156, n=12 per group). Contrast ratio of all ceramics was measured using a spectrophotometer according to ISO 2471: 2008. Grain sizes of zirconia were determined by SEM. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Sch...
