In two trials, broiler chickens, processed similarly to those placed in commercial operation, were fed, from 1 d of age, a range (13 to 200 ppm) of DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (VE-AC) levels, and the effects on the pathology of Eimeria maxima infections were assessed at 6 d postinoculation (PI). In Trial 1, dietary levels of VE-AC had little significant effect on variables characterizing pathol...

Substantiation of the averaging method for differential equations with maxima is presented. Two theorems on substantiates for differential equations with maxima are established.

daily precipitation data from aphrodite's resources with a spatial resolution of 0.25*0.25 degree for 57 years have been used to detect the trend of precipitation in afghanistan. first of all, monthly, seasonally, and yearly maps and regional mean time series calculated. according to the annual map, mean annual precipitation of the country is about 256 mm. there are two precipitation maxim...

In this paper, we propose a new measure for estimating defocus blur in document images and compare it with a good existing method proposed in [1]. This new measure is the average value of blur levels of edge points detected by the method proposed in [2]. This method uses three edge models (transition, peak and line) and analytically calculates their maxima functions. Then maxima functions of th...

The study investigated the effects of moisture content and varietal factors on some mechanical properties of pumpkin seed at three moisture content levels (18.1, 22.2, and 26% d.b) and two levels of variety (c. maxima and c. pepo). Similarly, oil content was investigated for the effect of variety factor. A 2X3 factorial experiment in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used, and resul...

Introduction: Hydatid Disease (HD), a helminth infection with various clinical complications is a serious economic and public health concern around the world. Nowadays, different agents have been broadly applied as scolicids; these agents have several side effects on patients. Therefore, the aims of this experimental study were to evaluate the scolicidal activity of Cucurbita maxima seeds metha...

Coccidiosis, a major intestinal parasitic disease of poultry, induces a cell-mediated immune response against the etiologic agent of the disease, Eimeria. In the current study, the expression levels of gene transcripts encoding pro-inflammatory, Th1, and Th2 cytokines, as well as chemokines were measured in intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) after Eimeria maxima infection. In additio...
