objective: manipulating the dietary fatty acid (fa) content can alter fa profiles of reproductive tissues. numerous researchers have evaluated the effect of fish oil (fo) supplementation on reproductive characteristics in domestic animals, but reliable information concerning dietary fo effects on semen quality and testosterone concentrations in dogs has not been reported. therefore, this study ...

introduction: many studies have been performed to evaluate the stress distribution around endodontic posts; those which compared posts composed of different materials are rare. the aim of this study was to compare stresses induced in dentin by three structurally different posts using photoelasticity method. materials and methods: nine blocks of psm-5 photoelastic material with 45×45×10 mm dimen...

This paper deals with two fragments of first-order logic, viz., fluted logic and two-variable logic. These fragments are known to have many properties in common, among them the finite model property and NEXPTIME-completeness for satisfiability. It is shown here that they also have in common the interpolation property and the submodel preservation property.

in this research, modification on the ultrafiltration (uf) membrane by synthesis of a thin layer of polyamide selective layer was designed for high performances of forward osmosis (fo) water treatment. two monomers, m-phenylenediamine (mpd) and trimesoyl chloride (tmc) with different concentrations of mpd (2.0% w/v and 1.0% w/v) were reacted with tmc (0.15% w/v) for interfacial polymerization (...
