Field Effect Diode (FED)s are interesting device in providing the higherON-state current and lower OFF–state current in comparison with SOI-MOSFETstructures with similar dimensions. The impact of channel length and band-to-bandtunneling (BTBT) on the OFF-state current of the side contacted FED (S-FED) has beeninvestigated in this paper. To find the lowest effective channel length, this device i...

Effect of feeding on linseed oil (LO)-enriched Artemia was investigated on growth, survival and stress resistance of tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae. Larvae were fed by LO-enriched (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %) as well as non-enriched Artemia nauplii for 14 d, followed by 14 d feeding on non-enriched Artemia. Fish fed on enriched nauplii showed significant increase in growth performance at both 14th...

tamarindus indica is used as a traditional treatment for diabetes. to elucidate whether tamarindus indica seed aqueous extract (tse) ameliorates metabolic syndrome in hyperinsulinemic rats, we evaluated serum insulin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (dheas), triglyceride (tg), total cholesterol (tc), very low density lipoprotein (vldl), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hd...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary putrescine (put) on broiler’s response fed low crude protein (cp) diets. a total of 192 male day old chicks were fed with four dietary treatments including two levels of put (0 and 0.03%) and two levels of cp (normal and low) with factorial combinations. weekly growth performance, nutrient digestibility and intestinal morphology (...

Forty healthy geriatric beagles (≥10 years, initially 12.0 kg) were fed a control food during a 30-day pre-feeding period, and then blocked by age, gender, and body fat percentage. Dogs were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 foods (A = Experimental Food, B = Royal Canin Mature Medium Breed, C = Purina Dog Chow Senior, and D = Eukanuba Senior Maintenance) for the 6-month testing period. Blood chemistr...

A completely randomized design experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0%) of guar meal (GM) in laying hen diets over a 8-wk trial period. A total of 180 Hisex laying hens (25wk old) of similar body weight were randomly distributed among 5 treatments with 6 replicates with 6 hens each. Body weight, body weight gain, egg produced per hen...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of corn distillers’ dried grain (CDDG) on the performance and egg quality of laying hens. The hens were fed dietary inclusions of CDDG at 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% for a period of eight weeks. Average feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio and nitrogen economy varied significantly (P<0.05) among dietary treatments. Birds fed 30% dietary CDDG h...

previous results indicated that performance of chicks fed a high level (10%) of poultry by-product meal(pbm) was lower than performance of chicks fed a corn-soybean meal (sbm) diet. the latter difference was hypothesized to be due to variation in digestible amino acid (aa) levels among the diets. this study evaluated diets containing pbm formulated on equivalent total aa basis vs. an equivalent...

this study evaluated the effects of various dietary levels of maros nigra&apos;s powder on some immune factors and blood parameters of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus my kiss). 320 fish with average initial weight 75 + 0.01 g randomly distributed in 12 tanks and fed by 0, 20, 40, and 60 ppm additive powder for 8 weeks. the results showed that the treatments, which fed more additive powder, had the ...
