This experiment was conducted to explore the effect of long-term supplementation 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD) as a vitamin (VD3) substitute on performance, bone traits, and egg quality laying hens from 1 day 72 weeks age. In total, 900 one-day-old Lohman pullets were randomly allotted into three dietary groups (three treatments × 15 replicates 20 birds per replicate): VD3 2800 IU/kg; 25-OHD 69...

Horses are relatively free of many of the health concerns that afflict people. They don‟t tend to develop high cholesterol, heart disease, or various other ailments common in our human population. However, one by-product of modern the equine lifestyle for many of our horsey friends is their tendency to put on extra weight. Nowadays, fat horses are an all-too-common sight in fields and stalls ar...

the first step in walnut breeding programs is to identify and evaluate superior genotypes of fruit trees. hence, there are various walnut breeding programs in various areas of iran. a study aimed to evaluate the morphological and chemical characteristics of selected superior genotypes of walnut was conducted in the shahroud region in 2011-2012.  the following genotypes were selected in this stu...

Although the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) is a widely used indicator of plant nitrogenstatus, no model of NNI calculation for spring barley (Hordeum vulgare) reflecting also specificmalting requirements on grain has been published. The aim of this study was to determinean optimal range of the nitrogen nutrition index (ratio of nitrogen concentration in shootbiomass to critical nitrogen concen...

Transitive extensional well founded relations provide an intuitionistic notion of ordinals which admits transfinite induction. However these ordinals are not directed and their successor operation is poorly behaved, leading to problems of functoriality. We show how to make the successor monotone by introducing plumpness, which strengthens transitivity. This clarifes the traditional development ...

A Valley in One’s Sense of Affinity The mathematical termmonotonically increasing function describes a relation in which the function y 1⁄4 f x ð Þ increases continuously with the variable x. For example, as effort x grows, income y increases, or as a car’s accelerator is pressed, the car moves faster. This kind of relation is ubiquitous and easily understood. In fact, because such monotonicall...

Schwabe, has caused devastating losses in both yield and quality of barBeer gushing or overfoaming is the most easily identifiley (Hordeum vulgare L.) produced in the northern G...

The effects of different nodal positions and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) concentrations on shoot development from nodal explants of Hemidesmus indicus (L.) Br. (Iramusu) were investigated. The highest number of shoots per explant (2.57±0.97) was observed in 4 nodal position, while the longest shoot length (3.23± 0.52 cm) was achieved in 5 nodal position at 2 mg/L BAP with 0.1 mg/L Naphthalene Ace...
