myostatin (mstn), also known as growth and differentiation factor-8 (gdf8), is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (tgf-?) superfamily that decreases growth in mammals. a single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) in the myostatin (gdf8) 3'utr of oar2 has been known as responsible for muscular hypertrophy in foreign breeds. in this study, in order to identify single nucleotide polymo...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of estradiol (e2), oxytocin (ot), relaxin (relaximol) injection and prostaglandin e1 (misoprostol) suppository on the cervix dilation, time of cervical dilation persistency and pregnancy rate of zandi ewes using artificial insemination. eighty 3-4 years old and 55±2.5 kg weight ewes were used for this study. in experiment 1, the ewes were assigne...

A study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of Zandi lambs. The lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. The body weights and average daily gain (ADG) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. Cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...

in this study, we aimed to investigate reproductive performance in estrus-induced zandi ewes treated with equine chorionic gonadotrophin (ecg) injection in combination with prostaglandin f2α (pgf2α)and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (gnrh) during non-breeding season. the estrous cycle was synchronized using controlled internal drug release (cidr) for 12 days. the ewes were randomly assigned to...

New methods of automating design generation differ greatly from the ways AI researchers have attempted to elicitate and implement design knowledge. The latter tradition is coined by the so called 'knowledge based approaches'. A good example for floor plan design can be found in (Zandi 1992). Using iterative algorithms (e.g. artificial neural networks), this programming work can be relieved, car...
