ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effect of oregano extract added commercial diets on zootechnical performance parameters, carcass yield, immunological conditions, morphometry, and intestinal pH for free-range broiler chickens raised under sanitary challenge conditions. Three hundred chicks strain ‘Heavy red’ were used distributed in a completely randomized experimental design with five...

results of many experiments with much discussion as to their meaning, the questions were of the "I should like to ask Dr. X why he said so and so" variety. In contrast, the questions following the sessions in which the short communications predominated were of the "I should like to present the results of a recent experiment performed in my laboratory" variety. Most interesting among those artic...

In this work, we describe an automated approach to morphometry based on spatial normalizations of the data, and demonstrate its application to the analysis of gender diierences in the human corpus callosum. The purpose is to describe a population by a reduced and representative set of variables, from which a prior model can be constructed. Our approach is rooted in the assumption that individua...

Chlorothalonil (CLT) is a broad spectrum, and non-systemic fungicide applied in foliar structures to prevent treat pathogens. This compound reaches aquatic environments affects the biota. In this context, main goal of study was assess effects CLT at biochemical, tissular, individual levels biological organization using invasive bivalve Corbicula largillierti as bioindicator species. Clams were ...

Mindboggle (http://mindboggle.info) is an open source brain morphometry platform that takes in preprocessed T1-weighted MRI data and outputs volume, surface, and tabular data containing label, feature, and shape information for further analysis. In this article, we document the software and demonstrate its use in studies of shape variation in healthy and diseased humans. The number of different...

3 Fathi B. Elmabrouk Abdalla: Application of morphometry, static DNA ploidy analysis, and steroid receptor expression in diagnosis and prognosis of Libyan breast cancer

the aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of new zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3d) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (mdct) images. under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic mdct. biometric measurements of the reconstructed...

the present study describes the length-weight relationship (lwr), length-length relationship (llr) and condition factor of the wild population of the shrimp macrobrachium macrobrachion from the rivers of côte d’ivoire (west africa). samples were randomly collected from small-scale shrimp fisheries using bamboo traps. of the thirteen analyzed morphometrics characters, only the second pleura widt...
