A total of ninety seven pre-pubertal Bunaji (BJ) and Friesian-Bunaji (FR x BJ) heifers were allotted randomly to two treatments groups for a period of 15 months. The treatment groups consisted of the followings: Mature Bull Exposure (MBE) and No Bull Exposure (NBE). Heifers were body condition scored and their live weights recorded on 28 days consecutive intervals. A heifer tactile stimulation ...

THE sperm tail-stump defect has been reported in Holstein bulls in Canada (Coubrough and Barker 1964) and Denmark (Blom 1976), and also in Charolais (Williams 1987), Ayrshire (Vierula and others 1983, 1987, Arriola and others 1985, Foote and others 1992) and polled Hereford (Peet and Mullins 1991) bulls. This short communication describes a case in a Holstein bull, which was investigated by usi...

Understanding how animals alter habitat use in response to changing abiotic conditions is important for effective conservation management. For bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas), habitat use has been widely examined in the eastern and western Gulf of Mexico; however, knowledge of their movements and the factors influencing them is lacking for populations in the more temperate north-central Gulf ...

Portable antennas have become an increasingly common technique for tracking fish marked with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags. We used logistic regression to evaluate how species, fish length, and physical habitat characteristics influence portable antenna detection efficiency in stream-dwelling brown trout (Salmo trutta), bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), and redband trout (Oncorhy...

The maximum stable set problem is NP-hard, even when restricted to triangle-free graphs. In particular, one cannot expect a polynomial time algorithm deciding if a bull-free graph has a stable set of size k, when k is part of the instance. Our main result in this paper is to show the existence of an FPT algorithm when we parameterize the problem by the solution size k. A polynomial kernel is un...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of three energy drinks on the color stability of nanofilled composite resins after different periods of aging time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Composite resin disks, 6 mm diameter, 3 mm thickness were prepared from Filtec Z350 XT, Tetric EvoCeram, and Filtec Z250 XT. Specimens from each material were tested after aging with Red Bull, Bison and Power Horse energy drink...
