The effect of Eimeria praecox on concurrent Eimeria maxima infection was studied in susceptible chickens. Clinical signs of coccidiosis were assessed in single E. praecox or E. maxima infections and compared to dual infection with both Eimeria species. Groups infected solely with 10(4)E. maxima oocysts displayed weight gains that were 48% of weight gain in uninfected controls. Weight gain in ch...

In this paper we investigate some properties and algorithms related to a text sparsification technique based on the identification of local maxima in the given string. As the number of local maxima depends on the order assigned to the alphabet symbols, we first consider the case in which the order can be chosen in an arbitrary way. We show that looking for an order that minimizes the number of ...

Pumpkin ( cucurbita maxima ) belongs to cucurbitaceae which include pumpkin, gourds, melons and squashes. They are characterized by their seed oil. Pumpkin plant has been grown since the earliest history of mankind 1 . ( Brucher – 1989 ). Pumpkin are grown around the world for variety of agricultural purposes, the seeds show anti helmintic, taenicide diuretic, cardio tonic, anti-inflammatory, a...

Commercial flocks infected by Eimeria species parasites, including Eimeria maxima, have an increased risk of developing clinical or subclinical coccidiosis; an intestinal enteritis associated with increased mortality rates in poultry. Currently, infection control is largely based on chemotherapy or live vaccines; however, drug resistance is common and vaccines are relatively expensive. The deve...

Citrus maxima peel is rich in natural phenolic compounds and has a long use in the traditional medicine. HPLC-DAD analysis on Citrus maxima peel powder exhibited the presence of various phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid and (-)-epicatechin. To determine the plausible hepatoprotective activity of Citrus maxima peel powder, we used carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) treated rat model. Liver damage...

We show that the least number principle for strict Σk formulas can be characterized by the existence of alternating minima and maxima of length k. We show simple prenex forms of these formulas whose herbrandizations (by polynomial time functions) are ∀Σ̂1 formulas that characterize ∀Σ̂1 theorems of the levels T k 2 of the Bounded Arithmetic Hierarchy, and we derive from this another characterizat...

A simple , rapid, sensitive and accurate UV-spectrophotometric method has been developed for estimation of Tenatoprazole from Pharmaceutical formulation. In 0.1N NaOH, Tenatoprazole showed absorbance maxima at 314nm. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 2-12 μg/ml (r =0.999).The amount of drug estimated from the formulation was found to be in the good agreement with label claim....

By revealing complex fiber structure through the orientation distribution function (ODF), q-ball imaging has recently become a popular reconstruction technique in diffusion-weighted MRI. In this paper, we propose an analytical dimension reduction approach to ODF maxima extraction. We show that by expressing the ODF, or any antipodally symmetric spherical function, in the common fourth order rea...

Consistent with movements integrating performance evaluation and improvement, the current study examines an assumption that more peer raters will produce better results or the so-called maxima strategy. This study examines the maxima strategy from both the agreement and performance perspectives with the intent of examining the role of feedback information in reliability and performance through ...

This paper deals with singularities characterisation and detection in Electroglottogram (EGG) signal using wavelet transform modulus maxima. These singularities correspond to glottal opening and closure instants (GOIs and GCIs), Wavelets with one and two vanishing moments are applied to EGG signal. We show that wavelet with one vanishing moment is sufficient to detect singularities of EGG signa...
