The digestible protein requirements of lactating ewes were studied with Chios 3 ewes during the declining state of lactation in two nitrogen balance and three feeding trials. A 60 kg ewe producing 1.0 or 2.0 kg milk of 6% protein and maintaining weight equilibrium, required 134 and 230 g digestible protein daily, respectively. These requirements were obtained with ewes receiving 110 Kcal metabo...

The requirements of non-lactating non-pregnant ewes for digestible nitrogen for maintaining nitrogen or weight equilibrium were studied using soybean meal or urea as the sources of supplemental nitrogen. From the nitrogen balance data, assuming nitrogen losses of .05 g N/kg -73, the digestible nitrogen requirement for maintaining nitrogen equilibrium was. 195 -+ .0237 and .188 + .0099 g N/kg.73...

A method for the description of spin-isospin phase transitions in nuclear matter is developed. It aliows a complete description of the pion condensation phase transition in the framework of the Landau-Migdal Fermi liquid theory. The equation of the order Parameter is derived and the condensation energy is calculated. We study the influence of pion condensation on the nuclear equation of state a...

an efficient one-pot condensation for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene is  achieved through a condensation of aryl aldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexandione in the presence of  nbs. this method enjoys several advantages such as low cost, simple work up procedure and safe reaction condition. in addition, water was chosen as a green solvent.

Chios mastic gum, a plant-derived product obtained by the Mediterranean bush Pistacia lentiscus (L.) var. chia (Duham), has generated considerable interest because of its antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant and other beneficial properties. Its aqueous extract, called Chios mastic water (CMW), contains the authentic mastic scent and all the water soluble components of mastic. In the present s...

This simulation study investigated the farm-level economic benefits of a genetic improvement scheme using artificial insemination (AI) with fresh ram semen in dairy sheep of the Chios breed in Greece. Data were collected from 67 farms associated with the Chios Sheep Breeders' Cooperative 'Macedonia', describing the percentage of ewes that would be artificially inseminated in the flock, pregnanc...
