these experiments were conducted to determine metabolizable energy and amino acid digestibilities of soybean meal, sunflower meal and canola meal in broiler chickens by using titanium oxide as indigestible marker in intact or caecectomized cockerels. ileal and total tract digestibility of amino acids were measured using broiler chickens, moreover, digestibility were also determined in the intac...

Multiple passages of light through an absorption inhomogeneity of finite size deep within a turbid medium are analyzed for optical imaging by use of the self-energy diagram. The nonlinear correction becomes more important for an inhomogeneity of a larger size and with greater contrast in absorption with respect to the host background. The nonlinear correction factor agrees well with that from M...

Isospin breaking correction to the ∆I = 12 decay of K → ππ generates a large enough contribution to ǫ through an induced ∆I = 32 amplitude in KL decay. Aside from the π-η and π-η ′ mixing contributions, there is a correction of kinematical origin due to the final-state π±-π0 mass difference, which is unambiguously calculable from the low-energy off-shell behavior of the K → ππ amplitude. This c...

For the prediction of the device performance of FinFET structures three-dimensional device simulation is inevitable. Due to the strong quantum mechanical confinement in the channel, quantum correction models need to be applied. Two of these models, where one is based on the correction of the densityof-states in a pre-processing step and the other calculates a correction for the band edge energy...
