Placental Lactogen is a polypeptide hormone that is produced by the Placenta, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin hormone. It has both Growth Hormone and Prolactin activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. The objective of this study was to investigate the bovine Placental Lactogen (bPL) gene polymorphism of Holstein cows in Razavi Khorasan province. Blood samples we...

In this work the following question is considered: is Sergeraert’s “Constructive Algebraic Topology” (CAT, in short) really constructive (in the strict logical sense of the word “constructive”)? We have not an answer to that question, but we are interested in the following: could have a positive (or negative) answer to the previous question an influence in the problem of proving the correctness...

Nisan [Nis92] constructed a pseudorandom generator for length n, width n read-once branching programs (ROBPs) with error ε and seed length O(log n+ log n · log(1/ε)). A major goal in complexity theory is to reduce the seed length, hopefully, to the optimal O(log n+log(1/ε)), or to construct improved hitting sets, as these would yield stronger derandomization of BPL and RL, respectively. In cont...

In this paper we present a neighborhood semantics for Intuitionistic Propositional Logic (IPL). We show that for each Kripke model of the logic there is a pointwise equivalent neighborhood model and vice versa. In this way, we establish soundness and completeness of IPL with respect to the neighborhood semantics. The relation between neighborhood and topological semantics are also investigated....

Abstract Back pain is one of the most common triggers performance failure in athletic and riding horses. Diagnosis equine back has been very challenging for practitioners, particularly chronic cases. Therefore, identification blood biomarkers would facilitate clinical differentiation pain. This study aimed to investigate serum glial cell activation, axonal damage, inflammation diagnosis Serum s...

BACKGROUND: Application of plant mulches plays a significant role in development and expansion of sustainable farming systems. OBJECTIVES: Assessment effect of chemical and non-chemical weeds management methods on weeds density and biomass and the properties of soil, including microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and soil organic carbon (SOC) in potato cultivation. ...

A locally compact group G has property PL if every isometric G-action either has bounded orbits or is (metrically) proper. For p > 1, say that G has property BPLp if the same alternative holds for the smaller class of affine isometric actions on Lp-spaces. We explore properties PL and BPLp and prove that they are equivalent for some interesting classes of groups: abelian groups, amenable almost...

Based on the analysis of the mechanism and hazards of asphalt fume, by adding two fume suppressant Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3 and two viscosity reducers Sasobit and ROADBIT-BPL, the paper optimized the mixture ratio for road use, and prepared the environment-friendly fume-suppression asphalt, and then conducted the performance tests to identify the optimum dosage. The results show that: the fume amoun...

Modeling and simulation of an adsorption-based gas separation process require accurately measured adsorption isotherms isotherm model fittings. In this study, equilibria data pure Methane (CH4) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) onto activated carbon adsorbent (Calgon Co.) were extracted from the literature. Each experimental was correlated by Simple Langmuir (SL), Dual Process (DPL), Three (TPL), Toth, Unil...

Introduction The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) is a national health insurance scheme launched in 2008 by government of India to provide health insurance to households living below poverty line (BPL) in order to protect them from major health shocks that involve hospitalisation. In Chhattisgarh RSBY was launched in June 2009 and Durg was the first district to be enrolled under this schem...
