The production of milk and other protective foods in many tropical and subtropical countries is inadequate to meet the needs of the population (FAO, 1959). The diets consumed in these countries are in general deficient in proteins, certain vitamins and minerals (FAO, 1959; Jelliffe, 1955). The problem of providing low-cost supplementary foods based on locally available protein-rich foods of veg...

In this study, a circulating fluidized bed of 125 mm diameter and 1800 mm height was used to find the combustion characteristics of olive cake (OC) produced in Turkey. Olive cake alone and olive cake+lignite coal mixtures were burned separately. Various olive cake/lignite coal ratios were tried. A suitable feeding mechanism of olive cake to the bed was developed. On-line concentrations of O2, S...

Fair cake-cutting is the division of a cake or resource among N users so that each user is content. Users may value a given piece of cake differently, and information about how a user values different parts of the cake can only be obtained by requesting users to “cut” pieces of the cake into specified ratios. Many distributed computing problems which involve resource sharing can be expressed as...

The experiment of the current study was performed at Rabbitry of Poultry Science Department and the chemical analysis was carried out at Department of Animal Nutrition, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and veterinary sciences, The University of Agriculture, Peshawar. The recent study examines the effect of different level of Urea (UR) and Soybean Meal (SBM) treated groundnut shells on rabbit’s perfo...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to clarify the analgesic effect of toad cake and toad-cake-containing herbal drugs. METHODS We counted the writhing response of mice after the intraperitoneal administration of acetic acid as a nociceptive pain model and the withdrawal response after the plantar surface stimulation of the hind paw induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation of the mice as a n...

Allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) with 3 primers was used to identify true F1 hybrids resulting from normal oleate groundnut cultivars pollinated with high oleate groundnut genotypes with a 1-bp insertion (A:T) at position 442 after the start codon in FAD2B. Its reliability was confirmed by direct sequencing of FAD2B PCR products. The AS-PCR protocol requires minimal resources, and thus provides an ...

INTRODUCTION In many chemical and pharmaceutical processes, solid-liquid separation, cake washing and drying steps directly impact the effectiveness of the production operation. Process engineers devote much of their time to analyzing these steps. The solid-liquid separation step can be by pressure, vacuum or centrifugation as well as in a batch or continuous mode. In this separation step, ther...
