the objective of this study was to determine the effect of irradiation of pomegranate seed (ps) on chemical composition, digestibility and kinetic of gas production. pomegranate seeds were exposed to gamma ray (gr) and electron beam (eb) at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 kgy. three ruminally fistulated rams were used for obtaining ruminal fluid for in vitro digestibility and gas production measuremen...

In this work, a tracer study on pore initiation in anodic alumina in oxalic acid was performed. Effects of some experimental parameters such as applied electrical potential, electrolyte composition and heat pretreatment were evaluated. Electrochemical and morphological experiments were performed using potentiostatic anodizing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, respectively. Effe...

Amino acid composition is one of the most basic characteristics of the proteome, and will provide various insights into protein chemistry and evolution. Bacterial organisms are known to have strikingly diversified amino acid compositions depending on the GC-content, habitat environment and energetic costs for biosynthesis. Therefore it is a fundamental question whether any kind of physicochemic...

Algorithmic composition methods are applied to the generation and manipulation of beats for dance music. The goal is to create an output beat in a consistent style with continuous subtle variation rather than stale repetition. In particular two tasks are studied in depth. The first is the generation of a beat itself using algorithmic composition methods to maintain variation. Examples are given...

A modified Bragg–Williams (B–W) model of a and a¢ FeCo is extended to estimate the effect of strong magnetic fields on the critical ordering temperature (TORDER) taking into account longrange chemical and magnetic ordering. The model discussed here is generalized from our previous work in which only the larger average exchange per atom in the chemically ordered state was taken into account. A p...

Our aim of is to develop a processing method for a rotating disc made of functionally graded materials (FGM), by stacking the slurry, layer by layer in a radial direction. A three-layer functionally graded material of Al/Al2O3 is fabricated with compositions of 10, 20, 30 vol.% Al2O3. The ceramic composition increases from the discs inner (centre) to the outer. The combination of these material...

We consider sequences of integers (λ1, . . . , λk) defined by a system of linear inequalities λi ≥ ∑ j>i aijλj with integer coefficients. We show that when the constraints are strong enough to guarantee that all λi are nonnegative, the generating function for the integer solutions of weight n has a finite product form ∏ i(1 − q i), where the bi are positive integers that can be computed from th...

Toxicity and the utilization of venom are essential features in the ecology of many animal species and have been hypothesized to be important factors contributing to the assembly of communities through competitive interactions. Ants of the genus Monomorium utilize a variety of venom compositions, which have been reported to give them a competitive advantage. Here, we investigate two pairs of Mo...

Given the assumption that all methods of exercise, e.g., endurance (ET), resistance (RT), or combination of both (E+R), can induce a beneficial effect size (ES) for changes in body composition and health status of individuals who are overfat. Thus the aim and purpose of this study is to evaluate the current body of knowledge to address the question as to the impact that the duration of exercise...
