despite the great potential of graphene as a nanofiller, achieving homogeneous dispersion remains the key challenge for effectively reinforcing polyolefin (such as polyethylene (pe) and polypropylene (pp)) nanocomposites. therefore, in this research, we report a facile combined in situ polymerization and masterbatch method for fabricating pp/reduced graphene oxide (rgo) nanocomposites. in the p...

This experiment was done to investigate microbial contamination and in situ disappearance rates of dry matter (DM), N and 15N of fresh labeled ryegrass. Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) were labeled with 15N during growth in a glasshouse, harvested at 4th leaves stage and were incubated up to 34 h in situ in the rumen of 3 individually housed sheep. The animals were fed 800 g/d chopped alfal...

The first purpose of this study is to present an alternative robust model in order to describe ruminal degradation kinetics of forages and to minimize the fitting problems. For this purpose, the Korkmaz-Uckardes (KU) model, which has a logarithmic structure, was developed. The second purpose of this study is to estimate, by using the Korkmaz-Uckardes (KU)model, the parameters tp (the time to pr...

purpose : to investigate the sensations experienced by chinese patients during refractive surgery including the laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik), epi-lasik, and sub-bowman keratomileusis (sbk) techniques. a prospective, randomized, and self-matched clinical study was conducted. methods : the participants included 44 men and 58 women aged 16 to 47 years old (mean 24.3±0.6 years) who underwen...

this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, digestibility, degradability and nutritive value of madder, rubia tinctorum l.  and alfalfa medicago sativa. using in vitro and in situ measurements. the mean values for om, cp, ndf, adf and ee were 892.5, 172.0, 306.5, 219.4 and 16.0 g/kg dm for madder hay, and 921.3, 141.4, 482.0, 361.1 and 6.50 g/kg dm for alfalfa hay, respectiv...

the present study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of white varieties of grape pomace (gp) and raisin vitis leaves (rvl), using nylon bags and gas production techniques. tow fistulated whether with average body weight of 45±2 kg were used. the amount of gas produced was measured at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h times and degradation was measured using nylon bags up to ...
