Abstract Bone waste is a problematic slaughterhouse typically disposed of in landfills. The pyrolyzed product this shows strong potential mine and industrial water remediation work needed to identify chemical structural parameters which drive performance. Diffuse Reflectance Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) was used probe carbonate (CO 3 2− ), phosphate (PO 4 3− ) hydroxyl (OH − environm...

The Ostrich is a native bird of Africa, and is highly accomplished in terrestrial locomotion in desert and grassland environments. The foot is an important segment in the ostrich body, critical for damping vibration, absorbing energy, and maintaining balance; however, detailed information on the ostrich foot is sparse. In this study, the gross anatomy of locomotor system of the ostrich foot was...

The ostrich (Struthio camelus), the largest living bird, is farmed intensively worldwide. However, despite the importance of understanding embryonic development in the ostrich for successful egg incubation practice, little is known about it. Using the chicken model for scaling is currently a common practice in estimating age in ostrich embryos. The aim of this study was to compare the embryonic...

The present study was carried out with the aim of determining the effects of storage temperature and storage position on embryonic mortalities in ostrich eggs. A total of 229 ostrich eggs was collected from two commercial ostrich farms. The effects of storage temperature on embryonic mortality differed. Embryonic deaths (totalled for early, medium and late incubation) were determined at respect...

Campaign Scheduling is characterized by multiple job submissions issued from multiple users over time. This model perfectly suits today’s systems since most available parallel environments have multiple users sharing a common infrastructure. When scheduling individually the jobs submitted by various users, one crucial issue is to ensure fairness. This work presents a new fair scheduling algorit...

Previous studies on the immunoglobulin (Ig) genes in avian species are limited (mainly to galliformes and anseriformes) but have revealed several interesting features, including the absence of the IgD and Igκ encoding genes, inversion of the IgA encoding gene and the use of gene conversion as the primary mechanism to generate an antibody repertoire. To better understand the Ig genes and their e...

Ostrich oil has been used extensively in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. However, rancidity causes undesirable chemical changes in flavour, colour, odour and nutritional value. Bleaching is an important process in refining ostrich oil. Bleaching refers to the removal of certain minor constituents (colour pigments, free fatty acid, peroxides, odour and non-fatty materials) from crude...
