abstract: this study was conducted to investigate the effects of diets containing different levels of hull-less barley on caecal microflora of broiler chicks. two hundred and forty one-day old male broiler chicks (arbor acres strain) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 tratments, and 3 replicates were allocated to each treatment. different levels of hull-less barley in diets had ...

this study was aimed to assess the causes of the structural decline in the renewal rate of apristine oak forest close to rome (central italy) by analyzing long-term measurements of the water budget in open and fenced areas. despite dry climate conditions in the area, long-term soil moisture measurements at 100 cm soil depth indicated that an enough large amount of water is available to oaks dur...

This article gives an overview of the concept of the Visual Hull and what its advantages and disadvantages are. The Visual hull is a concept of a 3D reconstruction by a Shape-From-Silhouette (SFS) technique. This kind of 3D scene reconstruction first has been introduced by Baumgart in his PhD thesis in 1974 [1]. Since then there have been several different variations of the Shape-From-Silhouett...

A set S of vertices of a connected graph G is convex, if for any pair of vertices u, v ∈ S , every shortest path joining u and v is contained in S . The convex hull CH(S ) of a set of vertices S is defined as the smallest convex set in G containing S . The set S is geodetic, if every vertex of G lies on some shortest path joining two vertices in S, and it is said to be a hull set if its convex ...

Fruit shape index (round shape) and seed size have important effects on pumpkin yield. To investigate these traits to create the most desirable state, a cross was made between two cultivars. This study aimed estimate main gene (additive, dominant di-genic epistasis) determine mode of inheritance for fruit by generation mean analysis. Six generations, namely P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, BC2 from Zucchin...

In this paper, a CFD analysis on the bare hull form of submarines or torpedoes for minimizing the resistance is represented. There are several parameters in submarine form design which the most important parameter is resistance. All operational characteristics of submarines are related to the resistance, related required power and then, underwater speed and range. Other parameters are only ment...
