Astragalus Polysaccharide (APS) is an important feed additive due to its immunomodulatory functions. Previous studies have proven that miRNAs play important roles in posttranscriptional gene regulation. Our goals were to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in testes in responses to APS dietary supplements and to find the effects of APS on breeder cock testes. We measured several enzymatic ...

'Thus it is necessary to turn the core through a ninety degree arc only. This has been found to be of dec-ded advantage when the stop-cock is operated mechanically. A similar stop-cock with a bronze core has been made. The advantage of the steel core is the fact that it can be used in positions in which there is a possibility of its coming in contact with mercury. These stop-cocks are used in g...

Cocks [4] has recently described a protocol for two parties to generate an RSA modulus N = PQ where neither party has knowledge of the factorisation, but which enables the parties to collaborate to decipher a encrypted message. We describe a number of ways in which it is possible for one of the parties to the protocol to cheat and obtain knowledge of the factorisation, and suggest modifications...

Indigenous chickens are the major source of organic meat and eggs. A study was carried out to determine their quantitative traits from six states (Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara Kebbi) in semi-arid region, Nigeria. Quantitative were measured on 240 adult indigenous sampled 20 households area. The results showed that sexual dimorphism exists between hens cocks. males had higher values mo...
