In-pond raceway aquaculture (IPRA) is the rational prescription for water eutrophication and improves pond environment, enhancing production quality of fish. This experiment explored growth performances muscle grass carp with stocking densities 32 tail/m3 0.07 tail/m2 in IPRA traditional culture (TPC), respectively. The hepatosomatic index, visceral mass ratio, correction factor were statistica...

objective: it has been shown that silybum marianum or its extracts have hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects. nitric oxide (no) plays an important role in neurotransmission, neuroprotection, neurotoxicity and pathological pain, as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the central nervous system. therefore, this experiment was performed in orde...

We study the connection between the parameters of the fractional Fokker-Planck equation, which is associated with the overdamped Langevin equation driven by noise with heavytailed increments, and the transition probability density of the noise generating process. Explicit expressions for these parameters are derived both for finite and infinite variance of the rescaled transition probability de...

Archaeal plasma membranes appear to be extremely durable and almost impermeable to water and ions, in contrast to the membranes of Bacteria and Eucaryota. Additionally, they remain liquid within a temperature range of 0-100°C. These are the properties that have most likely determined the evolutionary fate of Archaea, and it may be possible for bionanotechnology to adopt these from nature. In th...

The development of lytic bacteriophages as therapeutic products is an attractive alternative to antibiotics. In this study, we evaluated the potential of phage tails for lysing Gram-positive bacteria. Phage P954, a well-characterized temperate staphylococcal phage, was found to adsorb to a large number of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates, although it lyses only 24% of the tested isolates...

wood ducks that winter extensively in southern bottoms, nest throughout much of forested North America. And probably more importantly than use by individual animals, broad-scale landscape habitat conditions affect wildlife community composition and population function of species. For example, very small pockets of forest habitat may serve as sinks for forest interior birds, where mortality exce...

These days it is commonly accepted in the financial world that the tails of an asset return distribution are much heavier than those of the Gaussian distribution. Furthermore the choice of distribution is crucial for suchpurposes as value-at-risk and option pricing. Unfortunately, opinion on the tail weight question is divided. One school of thought believes that they are most appropriately mod...
