Most of animal feeds are grown using pesticides. Chemical control of weeds, insects and other pests has increased agricultural productivity. However, these economic benefits are not without risks to animal health and environmental damage. Feed and fodder offered to animals are often contaminated with pesticide residues (Raikwar and Nag, 2003) and after feeding, these residues assimilated into t...

Low rates of adoption of and low willingness to pay for preventative health technologies pose an ongoing puzzle. In the case of water-borne disease, the burden is high both in terms of poor health and cost of treatment. Inexpensive preventative technologies are available, but willingness to pay (WTP) for products such as chlorine treatment or ceramic filters has been observed to be low in a num...

Bioinformatics techniques to protein secondary structure prediction mostly depend on the information available in amino acid sequence. Support vector machines (SVM) have shown strong generalization ability in a number of application areas, including protein structure prediction. In this study, a new sliding window scheme is introduced with multiple windows to form the protein data for training ...

The photosynthetic efficiency of Cornus controversa leaves was decreased significantly under Cd treatment while it was not affected by Pb exposure. Cd decreased while Pb treatment increased the chlorophyll contents of Cornus controversa leaves. Furthermore, the peroxidase (GPX) activities were decreased after Cd treatment while elevated by Pb exposure in Cornus controvera seedlings. In addition...
