The purpose of this experiment is to compare the growth and water consumption efficiency five garden plants (marigold (Tagetes erecta ‘Red Brocade’), moss-rose (Portulaca grandiflora ‘Sun Rose’), dahlia (Dahlia sp. ‘Double Opra’), gazania (Gazania splendens ‘New Day’), Indian blanket (Gaillardia pulchella. Dance’)) during warmer seasons year under various levels drought stress based on field ca...

High fearfulness could disrupt learning and likely affects judgment in animals, especially when it is part of an animals' personality, i.e., trait anxiety. Here, we tested whether high fearfulness affects discrimination learning and judgment bias (JB) in laying hens. Based on the response to an open field at 5 weeks of age, birds were categorized as fearful (FC) by showing no walking or vocaliz...

current global water shortage and water pollution problem are some of the crucial issues in theworld, especially in the arid zones. the wastewater reuse was investigated the efficiency of fecal coliform(fc) removal using the intermittent media infiltration (imi) with varying soil content and natural porousmedia (sand, zeolite, vermicompost and charcoal), and its prediction was introduced by app...

Aim: Measurable residual disease (MRD) has been recognised as an important prognostic marker in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) alongside genetic profiling. Next generation sequencing (NGS) based clonality testing facilitates identification of the full range clonal populations with underlying DNA sequences, thereby offering improved sensitivity and specificity for MRD monitoring. Here, we i...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of dietary fermentable carbohydrates (FC = faecal digestible organic matter faecal digestible crude proteinfaecal digestible crude fat starch sugars) on the body composition and meat quality of pigs. A total of seventy two Stamboek hybrid pigs were housed in groups of six per pen (two pens with gilts and two with barrows per treatment). Th...

Clostridium difficile is a significant nosocomial and community-acquired pathogen, and is the leading cause of antibiotic-induced diarrhea associated with high morbidity and mortality. Given that the treatment outcome depends on the severity of C. difficile infection (CDI), we aimed to establish an efficient method of assessing severity, and focused on the stool biomarker fecal calprotectin (FC...
