The temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition will influence the accuracy of the quantitative prediction of carbon (C) balance between ecosystem C fixation and decomposition in a warmer world. However, a consensus has not yet been reached on the temperature sensitivity of SOC decomposition with respect to SOC quality. The fundamental principles of enzyme kinetics sugges...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of different eggshell temperature (EST) profiles during incubation on embryo mortality, hatchability, and embryo development. Furthermore, chicks from different EST profiles were reared under low and high housing temperatures to investigate subsequent posthatch growth and rectal temperature. Two batches of eggs were used in this experiment. Hatch...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a probiotic on in situ ruminal DM, OM, CP and starch degradability values some energy protein sources commonly used ruminant nutrition. In study, degradation kinetics fractions dry matter, organic crude protein, 6 different feedstuffs (barley, wheat, corn, sunflower seed meal, cottonseed meal soybean meal) anima...

to evaluate the effects of calcium on motility patterns of bovine epididymal sperm and to determine the effective calcium concentration, ovine testicles (5 for each experiment day) were picked up in a local slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory in a cool container (filled wich ice).in laboratory,caudal epididymis was incised and sperm cells were put into petri dishes containing modif...

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product of the phosphorus (P) chemical industry, and usually contains ~2% residual phosphate. The P in PG would cause pollution environment by way long-term stacking. Phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF) can effectively promote release from insoluble aim this study was to investigate capacity between tricalcium phosphate (TCP) Aspergillus niger (ANG) via flask experimen...

Extra work on unsolved problems may lead to more improvement if the new work is delayed rather than undertaken immediately after initial solution attempts. Such a result constitutes incubation in problem solving. "Unconscious work" on a problem, commonly assumed to be responsible for incubation effects, may not be necessary to observe the phenomenon. We hypothesize that fixation, a block to suc...

Different incubation conditions can cause eggshell temperature (EST) to deviate from optimum. Two experiments were performed to determine the effect of low EST at the start of incubation and high EST at the end of incubation on hatchability, chick quality, 6-wk live performance, and breast meat yield of broiler chickens. In each experiment, 1,800 eggs from a single flock were divided and set in...

background herpes simplex virus 1 (hsv-1) resistance to drugs and the side effects of drugs have drawn the attention of investigators to herbal plants. objectives the main aim of the current research was to investigate the effects of glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice root) on hsv-1. one of the objectives of the current research was to determine the efficacy and the effect of the elapsed incubation ...
