in order to investigate the growth curve of broiler chickens at line level, respectively 154 and 144 birds from two paternal lines a and b of a commercial broiler line were used. line a were selected several generations for low feed conversion rate and line b were selected several generation for high body weight. body weight was measured at 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 54 days of...

after the classification of the flag-transitive linear spaces, the attention has been turned to line-transitive linear spaces. in this article, we present a partial classification of the finite linear spaces $mathcal s$ on which an almost simple group $g$ with the socle $g_2(q)$ acts line-transitively.

objective: nucleostemin (ns) is a recently identified gene that is expressed mainly in the nucleoli of neuronal, embryonic and mesenchymal stem cells which plays a role in their self renewal. over expression of this gene has been reported in several cancer cell lines tumoral tissues including gastric, hepatic and prostate cancer. in this study, we investigated the effects of suppression of this...

this paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of lean manufacturing. the lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. to improve ...

background : the development of chemoresistance represents a major obstacle in the successful treatment of cancers such as non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl). with the recognition of important roles for both p53 and its more recently described paralog p73 in mediating the activity of anti-cancer drugs, there has been increasing recognition that cellular resistance to anthracyclines could and does a...

introduction: analysis of smile is one of the esthetic evaluations in dentistry. in the present study, gla, lid, the long axis position and the oblique axial angle of each tooth were evaluated. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional analytical study, 80 subjects with properly-aligned teeth and healthy periodontium were selected. a digital camera was to take photos of lip areas in unifor...

objective(s): to investigate the efficacy of interleukin 11 (il-11) towards the high dose methotrexate (hdmtx)-concurrent rat small intestinal mucositis and its impacts on the proliferation of the human t-lymphoblastic leukemia (cem) cell line. materials and methods:95 wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups, the normal control group (a), the methotrexate (mtx) control group (b), the...

background and aims. orientation of the occlusal plane is one of the most important clinical procedures in prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous patients. the aim of this study was to define the best posterior reference point of ala-tragus line for orientation of occlusal plane for complete denture fabrication. materials and methods. fifty-three dental students (27 females and 26 males) wi...

background: the eradication of helicobacter pylori infection, commonly prevailing in the stomach, has been important since its introduction. adequate preparations should be made in finding alternatives when faced with first-line treatment failures. currently, ideal second-line treatments are indistinct and varied among countries as result of different antibiotic resistance patterns. we aimed to...
