This experiment was conducted to assess the effect of chicken genotype on the growth performance, feed intake and feed conversion efficiency of the progenies resulting from purebred (Giriraja (Gr) X Giriraja (Gr)), straight (Gr male X Alpha female), reciprocal (Alpha male X Gr female) and Alpha male X White Leghorn (WL) female crosses. Data obtained on body weight, body length, breast girth, ke...

A lightweight energy-absorbing keel-beam concept was developed and retrofitted in a general aviation type aircraft to improve crashworthiness performance. The energy-absorbing beam consisted of a foam-filled cellular structure with glass fiber and hybrid glass/kevlar cell walls. Design, analysis, fabrication and testing of the keel beams prior to installation and subsequent fullscale crash test...

Let M0,n be the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus 0 with n marked points, labeled by 1, ..., n. This is a smooth projective variety defined over Q ([DM]), equipped with a natural action of the symmetric group Sn (by permuting the labels); its points are stable, possibly singular, curves of genus 0 with n labeled points. The geometry of this variet...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Alignment of the glenoid component with the scapula during total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is challenging due to glenoid erosion and lack of both bone stock and guiding landmarks. We determined the extent to which the implant position is governed by the preoperative erosion of the glenoid. Also, we investigated whether excessive erosion of the glenoid is associated with...

[1] A dynamic link between the early evolution of Tharsis and the crustal dichotomy on Mars was recently proposed by Zhong (2009). We address in detail the fundamental aspects of the proposed model using 3‐D spherical shell modeling of convection. We investigate the conditions under which a spherical harmonic degree 1 flow is produced in the mantle of Mars in layered viscosity models with diffe...

Meä keel1 kuulub Uurali keelkonna läänemeresoome keelte harusse. Seda räägitakse Rootsi põhjapoolsemas osas, Soomes peetakse seda sageli soome keele murdeks. ja keel on väga suurel määral vastastikku mõistetavad. Sellest hoolimata võib ühest küljest rootsi laenude suur hulk meä keeles tekitada kõnelejatele raskusi, teisest osaliselt […]

Abstract Keel bone fracture (KBF) of laying hens has become one the important welfare problems for health and production performance. The present study aimed to assess fear responses in native breed Lindian chickens commercial Hyline Brown with without KBF at late period. At their 56-week-age, a total 76 80 selected from furnished cages were housed individually battery cages. divided into norma...

Sophora toromiro (Phil) Skottsb. is a species that has been extinct in its natural habitat Easter Island (Rapa Nui) for over 50 years. However, seed collections carried out before its extinction have allowed its persistence ex-situ in different botanical gardens and private collections around the world. The progenies of these diverse collections have been classified in different lines, most of ...
