The dietary crude protein requirement of penaeid shrimp is an important nutritional consideration because protein is often the major limiting nutrient for growth. In most cases, research has focused on total dietary protein levels rather than a daily requirement for protein. This research utilized three practical diets containing 16%, 32%, and 48% protein and various daily rations to estimate d...

A t1ial was conducted to establish pyridoxine requirement of broilersfed on jJractical ration, in which 8 duplicate groups of 25 commercial broiler chicks werefed guinea corn-palm kernel meal based diet supplemented with graded levels ofPy1idoxine (4.5,5.0,5.5,6.0,7.0,7.5 and 8.0 mg/hgfeed) from day-one to 42 days. Data on feed utilisation, nutrient retention and carcass characteristics showed ...

Protein requirements have been traditionally discussed in terms of the needs for accretion, (growth, pregnancy etc.), and the needs to allow whole-body protein or nitrogen equilibrium, usually described as maintenance. In the case of slow-growing organisms like man it is apparent from an examination of any set of requirement estimates (e.g. Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organiz...

This article considers the optimal allocation and maintenance of multi-state elements in series–parallel systems with common bus performance sharing. The surplus performance from a sub-system can be transmitted to any other sub-system which is experiencing performance deficiency. The amount that can be transmitted is subjected to a random transmission capacity. In order to increase the system a...

Requirement traceability supports several activities of software development processes such as impact analysis, requirement changes, maintenance, verification, and validation a system. For its effective use in those activities, the graphical representation data plays an important role. However, tools lack excellent visual to present these type data. Therefore, this paper presents framework whic...

The ability of azathioprine to reduce the maintenance prednisolone requirement of 31 patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) or giant cell arteritis (GCA), or both, was tested in a double-blind placebo controlled study over one year. Clinical and laboratory assessments were made at four-weekly intervals over a period of 52 weeks. A statistically significant difference (p less than 0.05) in m...

Minerals are very important nutrients for dairy animal production. Deficiency of minerals may leads to certain structural, physiological or immunological disorder affecting growth, production and reproductive health of animals. Minerals deficiency is an area specific problem and supplementation strategy must be revised accordingly. Requirements of minerals for reproduction and immunity are gene...

Notwithstanding the many recent advances, software maintenance remains a serious problem that is not well catered for in the software design process. This situation partly results from a failure to fully recognize the changing nature of requirements and the contextual environment throughout the software life cycle (from conception to obsolescence). A more creative approach, dealing better with ...

It is a well known fact that software maintenance plays a major role and finds importance in software development life cycle. As object-oriented programming has become the standard, it is very important to understand the problems of maintaining object-oriented software systems. This paper aims at evaluating object-oriented software system through change requirement traceability – based impact a...

hippocampus barbouri is one of the seahorse species found in shallow water of malaysia. it is used as known as a global trade species in ornamental fish industry. to date, there is no documented report on seahorse aquaculture especially for h. barbouri in malaysia even in southeast asia region. seahorse aquaculture should be considered as an alternative source of seahorses to reduce the pressur...
