The research work was planned on 120 unsexed day old broiler chicks, sixty each of Cari Vishal and Cobb broiler chicken to notice the effect on body weight gain and oocyst outputs against E. tenella infection. The effect of dosage of coccidial challenge was found to be significant (P<0.05) only at 4th week of age among treatment groups. The least squares mean (LSM) for body weight (g) differed ...

N(ε) -lysine acetylation is an abundant posttranslational modification of thousands of proteins involved in diverse cellular processes. In the model bacterium Escherichia coli, the ε-amino group of a lysine residue can be acetylated either catalytically by acetyl-coenzyme A (acCoA) and lysine acetyltransferases, or nonenzymatically by acetyl phosphate (acP). It is well known that catalytic acCo...

Height gain is a common beneficial consequence following correction surgery in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), yet little is known concerning factors favoring regain of the lost vertical spinal height (SH) through posterior spinal fusion. A consecutive series of AIS patients from February 2013 to August 2015 were reviewed. Surgical changes in SH (ΔSH), as well as the multiple coronal and...

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of digestible valine supplementation in pre-starter and starter diets on productivity, nutrient metabolizability coefficient (NMC), immune response broilers from breeders different ages. Experiments I II conducted with (1 7 days age) (8 21 phases, respectively. Broilers fed that differed their content. In each trial, 400 male Cobb [...]

The Cobb–Douglas function is today one of the most widely adopted assumptions in economic modeling, yet both its theoretical and empirical bases have long been under question. This paper builds an alternative function on very different (albeit also neoclassical) microfoundations aimed at both addressing those theoretical drawbacks and providing a better empirical fit than the Cobb–Douglas formu...

Outcome measure The threshold of 5° Cobb to define worsened, improved and stabilized curves was considered, average Cobb angle, ATR, TRACE (for aesthetic evaluation) Statistical analyses: Mean and SD were used for descriptive statistics of clinical and radiographic changes. Relative Risk of failure (RR), 95% Confidence Interval (CI), Student’s t, Kruskall Wallis, and chi square test were applie...

OBJECTIVES To compare the Cobb technique for measuring kyphosis with an alternative Cobb method and a computer-assisted curve assessment technique, and to examine the influence of vertebral body and disc shape on kyphosis. METHODS Kyphosis measurements were derived from 93 lateral spinal radiographs or sagittal computed tomography images of cadaveric spines, using: (i) a computer-assisted met...
