in this experiment, a total of 128 hy-line w36 hens at 63 weeks of age were used. the hens were put at random into 4 treatment groups (4 replicates and 32 hens per treatment) and were fed four different diets: three diets with different levels of spirulina (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5%) and one control group based on wheat and soybean meal. all birds were housed in commercial cages, had ad libitum access ...

Enzyme production varies in different fermentation systems. Enzyme expression in different fermentation systems yields important information for improving our understanding of enzymatic production induction. Comparative studies between solid-state fermentation (SSF) using agro-industrial waste wheat bran and submerged fermentation (SmF) using synthetic media were carried out to determinate the ...

This pilot study was devoted to the effect of static magnetic field (SMF)-exposure on erosive gastritis. The randomized, self- and placebo-controlled, double-blind, pilot study included 16 patients of the 2nd Department of Internal Medicine, Semmelweis University diagnosed with erosive gastritis. The instrumental analysis followed a qualitative (pre-intervention) assessment of the symptoms by t...

A fiber-optic structure based on a section of a double-clad fiber with depressed inner cladding is investigated for bend sensing. The structure is formed by splicing a section of SM630 fiber between two standard fibers SMF-28. The operation principle relies on the sensitivity of cladding modes that are induced at a splice of fibers having different refractive index profiles. The transmission sp...

In this paper, we propose an optical fiber-based broadband mode coupler for multimode coherence tomography (OCT) in the O-band (1.26–1.36 μm). The proposed device uses a tapered few-mode fiber (FMF) to lower effective index of selected higher-order mode, which can be phase matched fundamental single-mode (SMF). FMF and SMF are side polished reduce core-to-core separation achieve efficient coupl...

Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic  zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes  are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...

Numerical simulations are performed with a two-dimensional 2D fully nonlinear potential flow FNPF model for tsunami generation by two idealized types of submarine mass failure SMF : underwater slides and slumps. These simulations feature rigid or deforming SMFs with a Gaussian cross section, translating down a plane slope. In each case, the SMF center of mass motion is expressed as a function o...
